Mrs Undercover

Plot

Mrs Undercover is a spy comedy centered around Durga (Radhika Apte), a seemingly ordinary housewife who has long left her secret life as an undercover agent. Living a routine domestic life, she has settled into the role of a devoted wife and mother. However, her past catches up with her when she is unexpectedly called back into action by the secret agency she once worked for. The agency assigns Durga to track down a dangerous serial killer known as "The Common Man" (Sumeet Vyas), who targets independent women. The contrast between her current life of domesticity and the demands of her previous role as a spy forms the crux of the film’s comedic moments, as Durga struggles to balance her household duties with her undercover mission. Her journey is filled with mishaps, misunderstandings, and moments of self-discovery as she tries to rediscover her lost skills while hiding her mission from her unsuspecting family. The film combines action, humor, and elements of feminist commentary as Durga navigates a world of espionage that she thought she had left behind. Despite its unique premise, the film received criticism for its execution, with reviewers citing inconsistent tone and pacing as key issues.
