Mrs. Serial Killer (2020)
A well-known gynecologist Mrityunjoy Mukherjee (Manoj Bajpayee) is arrested on suspicion of killing young pregnant women in a small hill town. In a desperate move to prove her husband’s innocence, his wife Sona Mukherjee (Jacqueline Fernandez) sets out to commit a similar crime. But what if the real killer is still on the loose? From its synopsis, Mrs. Serial Killer sounds like one hell of a crime thriller. But a few minutes into the film and you realise that it’s criminally nonsensical. Yes, there is crime but barely any thrill. Mrs. Serial Killer begins on an intriguing note with a pregnant Sona talking to her husband on a video call and teasing him about having an extra marital affair. Just then the film’s third key character Inspector Imran Shahid (Mohit Raina) barges into Sona’s house to arrest Dr. Mukherjee in a case of six missing pregnant girls. It sets the stage for a mysterious whodunit but this Netflix film never really becomes one despite a generous dose of blood and gore. There are a lot of factors responsible for this including its predictable plot and weak writing. Neither the characters nor their motives hold enough conviction to justify the build-up that is partly effective only because of the film’s chilling cinematography (Ravi K. Chandran and Kiran Deohans) and the small town setting..

I will leave you with this hard to beat back-and-forth: ‘toh maaro, yeh roz roz ke torture se toh achcha hai’, says one character. Replies the other: ‘torture tumne abhi dekha kahaan hai?’.

A great actor in a film that is as gratingly dull as this one has to try harder than usual to dispel the feeling that he is in the wrong place. Bajpayee does his best to straighten the 'mess'. But what can he do when Mrs Serial Killer is hell bent on anni.

By the end of Mrs Serial Killer, you are left with another plot twist, which makes you want to scream at your TV, "No, we do not want more of this!!" The film was clearly made in a hurry without any edits to the first draft of the screenplay. Overall, I w.

Director Shirish Kunder tries to infuse tension with a distinct background score. However, it doesn’t add much impact due to the film’s underwhelming narrative that is far too convenient and unrealistic. The film ends with a highly implausible climax .
