Mr. & Mrs. Mahi” offers a refreshing take on the conventional sports drama narrative. Director Sharan Sharma, along with co-writer Nikhil Mehrotra, delves into the complexities of self-doubt and insecurity within relationships and dreams.
The film revolves around Mahendra ‘Mahi’ Agarwal (Rajkummar Rao), a failed cricketer, and his wife Mahima ‘Mahi’ Agarwal (Janhvi Kapoor), a doctor. Mahendra’s dream of cricketing glory clashes with Mahima’s struggles with a demanding senior doctor. However, their shared passion for cricket becomes a source of solace and mutual support.
As Mahendra’s comeback attempts falter, he becomes Mahima’s coach, propelling her towards a professional cricketing career. Yet, his own insecurities and jealousy threaten their relationship. The film hinges on whether they can overcome these challenges and emerge stronger together.
“Mr. & Mrs. Mahi” excels in its narrative, skillfully capturing the nuances of a newly married couple, their training, matches, and the strains in their relationship. However, pacing issues arise in the second half, particularly as Mahendra’s internal conflict dominates the storyline. Additionally, Mahendra’s abrupt reaction to Mahima’s progress feels rushed and unconvincing.

Rajkummar Rao delivers a nuanced performance, portraying Mahendra’s suppressed aspirations and eventual understanding of true success. Janhvi Kapoor impresses as the initially timid Mahima, who finds empowerment in pursuing her dreams. Both actors infuse authenticity into their characters’ journeys. Supporting performances by Kumud Mishra, Zarina Wahab, and Rajesh Kumar further enrich the narrative.
“Mr. & Mrs. Mahi” also pays tribute to the unsung heroes—the coaches and spouses—who silently support those chasing glory. Ultimately, the film conveys the idea that true victory lies in finding fulfilment within oneself rather than seeking validation from others. This heartfelt tale resonates with audiences of all ages, offering valuable insights and lessons.
