Mere Husband Ki Wife - A Complete Disaster
I just watched Mere Husband Ki Wife, and honestly, there is nothing good in this movie. The writing is weak, the screenplay is uninspired, and the dialogues are forgettable. From start to finish, it felt like a dull, forced attempt at a romantic comedy that lacked both romance and comedy.
The biggest issue is the main lead's performance. In a film like this, where the story relies heavily on the charm and energy of its lead actor, it's crucial to have someone who can carry the film. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. The acting was so unconvincing that it made an already weak script even worse.
A lot of people compared this film to Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, and I can see why. The story structure feels like a cheap attempt to replicate that film's success. In Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, they brought in Anubhav Singh Bassi for comic relief, and he delivered some genuinely funny moments. Here, they tried to do the same with Harsh Gujral, but it just didn't work. He had one or two decent lines, but overall, his presence didn't add much. Even the supporting cast, which could have helped lift the film, felt underwhelming. No one stood out, and the chemistry between characters was completely missing.
There was not a single moment in the movie that felt fresh or engaging. The dialogue was poorly written, and the jokes felt forced rather than natural. If I were to fix this movie, I would start by completely changing the casting. In My Version, Ranbir Kapoor would take the lead. He has the charisma and acting chops to bring life to a role like this. With a better actor, even an average script can feel entertaining. But here, everything-story, execution, performances-fell flat.
Another frustrating thing is how Bollywood keeps pushing nepotism-driven casting choices. When you don't cast based on talent, this is the result-a film that no one connects with. It's disappointing to see potential wasted like this.
Overall, Mere Husband Ki Wife is a forgettable film with nothing to offer. It had weak writing, poor execution, and a cast that couldn't bring any life to the story. If Bollywood wants to make good rom-coms, they need to focus on strong storytelling and talented actors rather than relying on the same tired formulas.
