Sanya Malhotra's Mrs Movie Review

The movie Mrs., starring Sanya Malhotra, is an official remake of the 2021 Malayalam film The Great Indian Kitchen. It tells the story of a woman whose life takes a turn after marriage, balancing her passion for dance with the burdens of household responsibilities. The film premiered on OTT on February 7, following Sanya Malhotra’s Best Actress win at the New York Indian Film Festival. Despite receiving praise at various festivals, the film has garnered mixed reactions from netizens.

Directed by Arati Kadav and produced by Harman Baweja, Pammi Baweja, Smitha Baliga, and Jyoti Deshpande, Mrs. showcases Sanya Malhotra as Richa, a trained dancer and teacher who enters a male-dominated household that suppresses women's ambitions. As she struggles within this restrictive environment, she ultimately liberates herself and pursues her dream of being a dance teacher. Netizens have shared their opinions about the film’s message and execution on social media.

One viewer described Mrs. as "a mirror to patriarchy disguised as tradition," praising Sanya Malhotra’s performance as Richa. Another review noted that while Mrs. stars a talented actress, it does not have the same impact as The Great Indian Kitchen. Another user called the film “a scathingly powerful attack on patriarchy,” highlighting Malhotra’s remarkable performance.
