Review Of Film Mere Husband Ki Biwi
Review: Mere Husband Ki Biwi
Rating: 1/5
My rating for this film is 1 star, and that too only because of the hundreds of workers—spot boys, lightmen, junior artists—who worked tirelessly to bring it to life. Otherwise, this film is an absolute disaster. Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepika Deshmukh, and Pooja Entertainment should seriously consider submitting their banner to the Guinness Book of World Records for delivering the maximum number of flops in the past 25 years. Their name deserves a place in history—for all the wrong reasons.
Plus Points:
The only good thing about this film is its glossy look. A lot has been spent on locations, photography, and costumes, but everything else is pure rubbish.
Acting:
Arjun Kapoor, the so-called "hero" of this film, looks more like a wrestler than an actor. Frankly, his days as a hero are long over, especially after playing a villain in Singham Again. At 40+, he still needs to learn the ABCs of acting. Instead of taking money for his roles, he should be paying producers for casting him because, let's be honest, they’re doing him a favor. His box office value is zero, and the numbers speak for themselves—his last film, The Lady Killer, was made on a budget of ₹45 crores and earned just ₹60,000 in its lifetime.
His heroine, Bhumi Pednekar, is completely miscast. She looks terrible in glamorous roles. After her debut in Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015), she has delivered flop after flop. Her career effectively ended in 2022, with a series of box office disasters like Raksha Bandhan, Govinda Naam Mera, Bheed, Afwaah, Thank You for Coming, The Lady Killer, and now this trash film.
The film’s second heroine, Rakul Preet Singh, has been in the industry for 15 years, yet 99% of her Hindi films have been flops. Her debut (Yaariyan, 2014) was followed by failures like Aiyaary, Runway 34, Doctor G, Cuttputlli, Thank God, Chhatriwali, Indian 2, , and many more disasters. She may look beautiful, but with zero acting skills, any film she stars in is guaranteed to be a 200% flop. Good thing she got married and settled down.
Harsh Gujral, playing Arjun Kapoor's friend, looks more like a joker than an actor.
As for Dino Morea, he is now desperate for even a two-minute role. Dino, I curse you for this one.
Direction:
Director Mudassar Aziz left no stone unturned in completely ruining this film. I have no idea where he got this terrible story from, but he wrote it himself—and it shows. The screenplay and dialogues, also penned by him, are unbearable, tedious, and pure torture. Even painkillers won’t help you get through this.
This is the same Mudassar Aziz who, just months ago, gave us the super-duper flop Khel Khel Mein starring Akshay Kumar and Vaani Kapoor. In the last 20 years, his only somewhat successful film was Happy Bhag Jayegi. Every other film he has directed has flopped. At this point, is he even capable of directing a TV serial, let alone a film?
Story:
The biggest problem with Mere Husband Ki Biwi is its ridiculous story. Arjun Kapoor’s character divorces his wife but then she haunts him in his dreams—though, in reality, he completely dominates her. The idea of him scaring Bhumi Pednekar’s character is just laughably bad.
Then we have Rakul Preet Singh, hot ,beautiful and sexy playing a foreign-educated doctor, who inexplicably falls in love with a divorced man—a "second-hand husband." Even if you searched the entire world, you wouldn't find a worse storyline than this. And when she’s getting married in London, why does she invite Bhumi and her family after all the drama? Also, have you ever seen a doctor treating patients in mini-shorts in her clinic? The sheer absurdity of this film is proof of Mudassar Aziz’s creative bankruptcy. There are countless such ridiculous moments throughout this senseless movie.
Music:
The film has five music directors—Dr zeus, Vishal Mishra, Tanishk Bagchi, Badshah, and Sohail sen —but none of them could produce a single good song. The only somewhat decent track comes in the climax, a remix, but by then, the audience has already left the theater.
Editing & Length:
The film is 2 hours 23 minutes long, but every second feels like torture. There is no connection, no engagement, and no reason to stay in your seat.
Box Office Prediction:
It looks like this film was made solely to claim a London subsidy. The climax appears to have been forcefully shot there for this reason. In fact, reports suggest an inquiry is ongoing against Vashu Bhagnani regarding subsidies in London.
The film’s entire team—director Mudassar Aziz, producer Jackky Bhagnani, and actors Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar—attended a press show to ask the media how they liked the film. But even they know how terrible it is. Asking that question was the biggest act of stupidity.
"The advance booking of the film was so poor that the maker decided to give one free ticket for every ticket sold. In spite of this, there was no audience to buy the tickets, as they stayed 10 kilometers away from the theater."
There is no doubt—this film will be a super disaster at the box office.
