Earlier, Janhvi Kapoor talked about the challenges she faced while working for Mr & Mrs Mahi in a BTS video, shared by the makers. In the clip, the actress said, “The first injury happened because of an inside-out. The second happened when I was doing a switch hit. Kadak (sound) (pointing towards the shoulder) popped up again and I put it back and I was just in shock. I was like, this can not happen again…I am not going to say it was smooth sailing. It was a little turbulent, especially because the physicality of it was very draining and taxing, mentally as well.” Read all about it here.
In his NDTV review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Mr & Mrs Mahi 2 out of 5 stars. He wrote, “Cricket and marriage get into an awkward tangle in Mr & Mrs Mahi, a sports melodrama that hinges on action on the field of play and plenty of reaction off it, mostly in the realms of a relationship that runs into tricky terrain.”
“The Sharan Sharma-directed film is about sport but it segues into a tale of marital discord when thwarted ambitions collide with suppressed emotions. The narrative is unusual, to say the least, but the treatment is devoid of any major departures from the norm,” Saibal Chatterjee added. Read his complete review here.
Meanwhile, Janhvi Kapoor will be next seen in Devara Part 1, alongside NTR Jr and Saif Ali Khan. The film will mark Janhvi’s Telugu debut. It is scheduled to hit the theatres in October.
