An underrated movie has slipped under the radar, which may make the perfect weekend plans for you.
Raving about the film online, one fan writes: “I was impressed by its intricate plot, strong performances, and unexpected twists. The movie’s unique blend of suspense, drama, and dark humor made for a compelling watch.”
A second says: “If you have a love for thrill in your life, then this movie is for you. This is a mind-blowing thriller that keeps you guessing all the time.”
“The suspense keeps you engaged in the movie,” comments another.
Directed by Shirish Kunder and produced by his wife, Farah Khan, the thriller stars Jacqueline Fernandez in the lead role, alongside Manoj Bajpayee and Mohit Raina.
It tells the story of Sona Mukerjee (Fernandez), a devoted wife, whose world is turned upside down after her husband, Dr. Mrityunjoy Mukerjee (Bajpayee), is arrested for several murders of pregnant women.
Mukerjee believes her husband is innocent, and he manages to convince her to take extreme measures to set him free.
Fernandez, a prominent figure in Bollywood, spoke with cosmopolitan about her Netflix debut.
She said: “The first time Shirish (Kunder) narrated the script, I loved the concept.
“He’s written a really fascinating script about a girl who has to overcome a very dire situation, and has to turn into a serial killer. And it’s something that I really wanted to do.
“Playing the lead is a great opportunity for me, and I wanted to get out of my comfort zone as well. Earlier, when scripts like these would come my way, I didn’t take them on because I didn’t feel like I was ready…”
Despite trending as number one on the Netflix charts in India, it remains relatively unknown to a wider audience.
Mrs. Serial Killer explores love and manipulation, with the lead character going to any measures to help her husband in his lies and deception.
Not only does the narrative maintain suspense and psychological tension to engage the audience, but the director also uses several cinematic techniques, making Mrs. Serial Killer a bright and visually colorful film.
