Sharan Sharma’s Mr. & Mrs. Mahi Theme Background
The 138-minute film has sharp things to say about male ambition, the ways in which mean-spirited fathers damage their sons, and the fragility of egos predicated on a conventional idea of success. Mahendra (Rajkummar Rao) is a bundle of bitterness after his batting career went nowhere. His status-obsessed father (Kumud Mishra) keeps goading him about his failure. An arranged marriage with Mahima (Janhvi Kapoor) is only the latest compromise. Mahendra’s decision to coach Mahima after seeing her prowess with the bat is just what a loving husband would do—until Mahima begins to shine at her new vocation.

Lead Actors’ Best Performances so far
The focus on Mahendra’s quest for stardom by proxy swallows up Mahima. Forever seeking validation from Mahendra, Mahima is never her own woman, despite being described as an equal partner in a “two-in-one” package. Infantilized by her parents, Mahima finds a new dad in her husband. Janhvi Kapoor’s best performance so far has been in Sharan Sharma’s biopic Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020). Sharma’s talent for staging emotional scenes carries Mr. & Mrs. Mahi over its post-interval bumps. Consistency and emotional intelligence are provided by a pitch-perfect Rajkummar Rao. Rao is especially memorable when Mahendra is at his most desperate, grasping for a shot at fame that will never be his.
The excitement for Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummmar Rao’s Mr. & Mrs. Mahi is reflected in the number of tickets the movie has sold in advance of its release. As it debuts across the country, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi have delivered the most advanced ticket sales for any Hindi title this year. The buzz around the movie, reflected in the ticket sales number, was in sync with the netizens’ reaction to it.
