The romantic drama Mr and Mrs Mahi, directed by Sharan Sharma and backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, experienced a slight dip in its box office collection on the second day of its release.
Day 1 and Day 2 Earnings
The film, which stars Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles, opened with a solid performance, earning ₹6.75 crore on its first day. However, the second day saw a decline in earnings, with the film collecting ₹4.50 crore net in India, according to early estimates by Sacnilk.com. This brings the total box office collection of Mr and Mrs Mahi to ₹11.25 crore so far. The film had an overall 20.13% Hindi occupancy on Saturday.
Critical Reception
The Hindustan Times review of the film highlighted mixed reactions, particularly towards Janhvi Kapoor’s performance. The review noted, “Janhvi looks very one-dimensional throughout the film. If anything, it’s her scenes with Rajkummar that lift her performance. Together as a pair, the two had a refreshing chemistry, and I wish the director played on that bit a little more.” The review also mentioned the film’s lack of a strong script and memorable moments, describing it as a one-time watch for its earnest performances.
Plot and Cast
Mr and Mrs Mahi follows the story of a young couple, with Rajkummar Rao’s character dreaming of getting selected for the national Indian cricket team. His dream is shattered, and he struggles to come to terms with it until he discovers Janhvi Kapoor’s character has a talent for cricket. He decides to coach her, leading to a journey of ambition and romance.
The film also features a supporting cast including Rajesh Sharma, Kumud Mishra, and Zarina Wahab. The trailer hinted at the emotional and motivational aspects of the film, showcasing the challenges and triumphs faced by the protagonists.
Mr and Mrs Mahi marks the second collaboration between Janhvi Kapoor and director Sharan Sharma, as well as the second collaboration between Janhvi and Rajkummar Rao. The duo was previously seen together in the film Roohi.
