Hollywood/Bollywood/other industries sometimes make these films in which, the comedy is over-the-top, the action is over-the-top and you'll either walk out of the hall satisfied because there was more of what you wanted or leave thinking that the movie was neither here nor there.
For me, Mrs Undercover was in the latter category (you might feel differently) Radhika Apte is a GOOD actor and I thought I'd watch it for her. She did what she could to try and save this poorly written story but.....that sadly wasn't enough. It felt like she was bored and wanted to do something for fun so she said yes whatever random story made its way to her table first.
Other than the over-the-top action and comedy, (for me) there was too much of a commercial angle to it (think of the heroism and poses in a Salman Khan film) and the message got a little too cheesy in the climax.
For films like these, the audience is generally expected to switch their minds off but if you have an important message to share, how do you expect to take the message seriously if we can't take the film seriously? If that wasn't why the message was there, why keep have it in the movie to begin with?
This could have been a good action comedy or a serious action movie with a good message with a very different side of Radhika Apte's acting on offer, but...missed opportunity.
