Review:
Mrs
Serial
Killer,
directed
by
Shirish
Kunder,
attempts
at
being
a
psychological
crime
thriller
which
is
at
par
with
2019
Hollywood
film
releases
like
Joker
or
The
Gentlemen,
but
instead,
it
sets
up
the
audience
for
something
that
is
at
par
with
television
crime
dramas
like
CID
or
the
Crime
Petrol
episodes.
We
are
offered
a
good
cast,
but
the
screenplay
and
the
twisted
plot
does
not
give
them
a
chance
to
shine
on
screen
in
Mrs
Serial
Killer.
In
a
small
town
somewhere
in
Uttarakhand,
Sona
Mukherjee
(played
by
Jacqueline
Fernandez)
lives
with
her
husband
Dr
Mrityunjoy
Mukherjee
aka
Joy
(played
by
Manoj
Bajpayee).
The
story
kickstarts
when
some
unmarried
pregnant
women
go
missing
and
the
circumstantial
evidence,
like
finding
the
dead
bodies
on
his
property,
points
to
Mrityunjoy.
More
evidence
is
presented
by
inspector
Imran
Shahid
(played
Mohit
Raina),
who
wants
to
prove
Mrityunjoy
guilty
out
of
vengeance.
Sona
is
convinced
that
her
husband
is
innocent
and
goes
on
to
prove
it
by
pretending
to
be
the
true
serial
killer.
Mrs
Serial
Killer
plays
with
a
mix
of
different
genres.
It
goes
from
a
crime
thriller
to
comedy
to
even
horror
in
a
few
scenes.
But
they
fail
to
leave
an
impact
and
rather
make
you
cringe
within
the
first
five
minutes
of
the
film.
The
randomness
of
the
storyline
and
the
screenplay
makes
you
wonder
if
it
was
written
by
different
people,
at
different
times.
The
film
talks
about
seven
unwed
pregnant
women
in
a
small
town
like
its
nothing
and
on
the
other
hand,
we
have
one
of
the
lead
actors
claim
that
women
don't
go
to
gynaecologists
unless
they
are
married!
The
film
also
has
a
2020
emo
girl,
who
gives
us
several
unprovoked
taekwondo
lessons
along
the
way
and
Jacqueline
Fernandez
shifts
her
character
from
crazy
to
cute
to
high-class
and
sensible
next-door
girl,
within
seconds
in
every
scene.
Manoj
Bajpayee
gives
it
his
all
as
a
professional
actor,
and
thankfully
he
also
plays
the
only
character
which
is
consistent
throughout
the
film.
Even
though
it
provides
a
few
seconds
of
relief,
it
is
not
enough
to
save
the
film
from
becoming
a
let-down
If
you
are
wondering
where
the
film's
title
comes
from,
it
is
actually
written
on
the
wall
where
Sona
lives
after
Mrityunjoy
is
arrested,
and
that's
how
literal
I
am
being
about
this
review.
By
the
end
of
Mrs
Serial
Killer,
you
are
left
with
another
plot
twist,
which
makes
you
want
to
scream
at
your
TV,
"No,
we
do
not
want
more
of
this!!"
The
film
was
clearly
made
in
a
hurry
without
any
edits
to
the
first
draft
of
the
screenplay.
Overall,
I
will
not
recommend
Mrs
Serial
Killer,
unless
you
wish
to
be
brain
dead
by
the
end
of
106
minutes.
