he story of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Mahi’ revolves around a young man who has known only defeat in his life. Even in cricket, the game he loved the most, he faces failure. Unlike the usual narrative where a parent lives their dream through their child, this film portrays a husband striving to fulfill his dreams through his wife. While the film has no direct connection to the cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, it delivers a heartfelt story.
Despite powerful performances from the cast, the film feels a bit slow at times, tempting viewers to reach for their phones. There was an initial buzz that the film was somehow related to Mahendra Singh Dhoni, which is not the case, except for a brief appearance of Dhoni’s photo. This isn’t a typical sports film; the narrative could have involved any other art or sport, such as singing or dancing. However, the producers, being cricket fans, chose to focus on cricket. The story is good, delivering a feel-good experience, and offers a unique perspective, making it worth watching in theaters.
