"Mr. and Mrs. Mahi," a romantic sports drama starring Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, hit theatres on May 31, making a strong debut with a net collection of Rs 6.85 crore on its first day in India. Directed by Sharan Sharma, the film's opening also saw an impressive Hindi occupancy rate of 56.15%, according to Sacnilk.com.
This compelling drama intertwines the worlds of romance and cricket, exploring the dynamic relationship between its lead characters. Produced by the acclaimed filmmaker Karan Johar, "Mr. and Mrs. Mahi" delves into dreams and the inevitable conflicts that arise with loved ones when pursuing those dreams. Johar shared his thoughts on the film, saying, "Some films transcend mere storytelling. They communicate deeply with the audience about aspirations and the sacrifices we make. 'Mr. and Mrs. Mahi' holds a special place in our hearts.
Our review highlights the film's slow-paced and detailed first half, which sets the stage by portraying how the protagonists, Mahendra (played by Rajkummar Rao) and Mahima (played by Janhvi Kapoor), prioritize their parents' dreams over their passion for cricket. Rajkummar's character is given numerous opportunities to convey his frustrations and challenges, while Janhvi's character intriguingly keeps her ambitions hidden until a pivotal twist later in the movie.
This film marks the second collaboration between Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, following their previous project, "Roohi." "Mr. and Mrs. Mahi" promises an emotional journey filled with heartfelt moments and dramatic turns, making it a must-watch for fans of both romance and sports dramas.
