Review of Mister Mummy

Plot

Mister Mummy is about Amol and Guglu, a couple who have opposing views on having babies. However, both of them become pregnant at the same time due to a condition known as ‘Couvade Syndrome.' Although interesting conceptually, the way it's presented leaves a lot to be desired. The film's biggest comedic plot point relies on ridiculing a man with a baby bump, making it confusing and fails to entertain its audience.

Acting

Genelia D’Souza, as Amol's wife Gugglu, is a treat to watch on screen again. However, her dialogue delivery seems forced and half-baked. Riteish Deshmukh, whose comic timing is impeccable, struggles to save the sinking ship.

Cinematography

The film is shot apathetically on lovely British locations.

Direction

Director Shaad Ali, who has also co-written the film with Ananya Sharma, tries to add value and depth to the story. However, the majority of the scenes are repetitive, making it a lengthy watch. Most of the humor is forced, and aside from Amol's conversations with himself, nothing makes you laugh.

Overall

Mister Mummy is neither a comedy nor an emotional drama. The film could have explored a lot more with the material at hand, but Shaad Ali ends up losing out on this opportunity. Definitely not worth watching.
