Mrs. Undercover is an action comedy film directed by anushree mehta.
This film gets so much right yet doesn't hit the home run. The writing assures on the nuances that the female spy is out of practice but undoes it by making her chase the same man so amateurishly that its comical. The climax is way too weird. Radhika apte gets her acting and comedy spot on. But the other characters are reduced to feminism mouthpieces and caricatures. There are sequences designed to lecture viewers that 'housewives are not housewives' insted of visually stamping it. It too on the nose. The songs are average too. Saheb chattopadhyay, sumeet vyas and rajesh sharma somewhat act authentic but their characters are too undercooked.
This film could have been so much more.
