Review: Mrs Serial Killer: Utterly messed-up

Reviews

"Mrs Serial Killer" aims to be a psycho thriller, and Kunder probably thought of making it because the only film of worth he's ever made so far was "Kriti", a short film that belonged to that genre and garnered much applaud.

Some films are bad right from the first shot and, much against your sincerest hopes, things don't get better. Shirish Kunder made one such utterly unbearable film a few years ago, with "Joker". He's done it again with his new feature for Netflix.

"Mrs Serial Killer" aims to be a psycho thriller, and Kunder probably thought of making it because the only film of worth he's ever made so far was "Kriti", a short film that belonged to that genre and garnered much applaud. In "Mrs Serial Killer", he also brings back Manoj Bajpayee, who starred in "Kriti". It's an absolutely wasted casting exercise as the minutes pass, because not even brilliant Bajpayee can save this incoherent mess.

Bajpayee is Mrityunjoy Mukherjee, a successful gynaecologist. A serial killer is on the prowl. Bodies of half a dozen young pregnant girls have been found
