Show more >> Mrs. Serial Killer presents an intriguing premise that intertwines love and betrayal within the framework of a thriller. The film follows a devoted wife, portrayed by Jacqueline Fernandez, who undertakes the harrowing task of committing a copycat murder to save her husband from wrongful imprisonment. Shirish Kunder’s direction attempts to create a tense atmosphere, but the execution sometimes falters, resulting in a narrative that feels uneven. The performances, particularly Fernandez's, showcase a commendable effort to convey emotional depth, yet they occasionally struggle under the weight of the script’s more ludicrous moments. The film’s exploration of moral ambiguity is commendable, inviting viewers to ponder the lengths one would go for love. While the ending offers some unexpected twists, it may leave audiences divided on its resolution. Overall, Mrs. Serial Killer is a watchable film that may appeal to genre enthusiasts, but it does not fully realise its potential. Show less

Show more >> Mrs. Serial Killer aims high with its ambitious plot but ultimately falls short of delivering a gripping experience. The story revolves around a wife’s desperate attempt to save her husband, who has been wrongfully accused of heinous crimes. While the concept sounds thrilling, the film often drags, weighed down by its convoluted script and predictable twists. Jacqueline Fernandez gives it her all, but even her performance can't quite rescue the material from mediocrity. The film tries to blend suspense with emotional depth, yet the execution feels disjointed and at times, absurd. It's not terrifying enough to be a true thriller, and the lack of genuine tension makes it hard to stay engaged. While some viewers might appreciate the attempt at a psychological drama, many will likely find it lacking in both thrills and coherence. In the end, Mrs. Serial Killer is a missed opportunity that may not resonate with audiences looking for a tight, engaging narrative. Show less
