Mrs. Undercover

"Mrs. Undercover"

The movie runs for 1 hours 47 minutes and was released in April 2023. I watched the movie on Zee5 with Aditi on 28th Jul 2023.

A serial killer is on the loose. 17 murders of young women. Latest in Kolkata. Doesn’t molest or rape but the murder is posted on social media from victim’s mobile. India’s secret agency wants to investigate but all its agents are killed by the killer. However, they find one agent whose handler died and agent was forgotten. They decided to find the agent. It turns out it’s a house wife.

Well, the plot seed is good but execution is pathetic. Director isn’t able to decide if he wants to make a suspense movie or a comedy and ends up messing both. The movie is full of bad jokes, strange faces, backwards body movements, lack of flow. The end is also amateurish.

The head of secret agency played by Rajesh Sharma is more of a joker than spook. Radhika plays the housewife and her’s is the only good performance. Sumeet Vyas plays antagonist well. Others are ‘also ran’.

Positives: Seed.
Negatives: Direction.

AVOID.
