The much-anticipated drama Mrs., directed by Aarti Kadav, had a glittering screening in Mumbai last night, attracting a star-studded crowd that included the film’s lead actress Sanya Malhotra, alongside industry bigwigs like Abhimanyu Dasani, Radhika Madan, Kanwaljit Singh, Harman Baweja, Sikander Kher, Shweta Tripathi, and Shilpa Shetty, among many others. The event saw a diverse mix of talents from Bollywood and beyond, all gathered to celebrate this powerful, thought-provoking film that is set to hit ZEE5 on February 7, 2025.
Mrs. is a poignant exploration of marriage, personal identity, and the pressures that women face in a traditional society. The film stars Sanya Malhotra as a trained dancer and dance teacher, who, after marriage, must navigate the complex dynamics of marital life while striving to retain her voice, pursue her passion, and assert her individuality. Malhotra’s stunning portrayal of a woman struggling to break free from societal expectations earned her the Best Actress award at the 2024 New York Indian Film Festival—a testament to her skill and dedication to the role.
Based on the 2021 Malayalam film The Great Indian Kitchen, Mrs. explores universal themes of empowerment and self-expression, making it a deeply resonant film for modern audiences. The film delves into the journey of a woman trying to find her space in a world that often demands her to conform to roles that may not align with her own aspirations. Kanwaljit Singh and Nishant Dahiya also play key roles in the film, adding depth and nuance to the narrative.
The screening, which was a mix of glamour and heartfelt support for the project, also saw the presence of filmmakers and producers like Vikramaditya Motwane, Meghna Ghai Puri, and Rahul Puri, alongside actors and other notable figures from the industry. The buzz around Mrs. is palpable, with the film’s direct-to-OTT release on ZEE5 creating excitement for its upcoming premiere.
With a cast full of talent, a compelling story, and a timely message about identity and freedom, Mrs. promises to be a must-watch film that will spark conversation long after the credits roll. Mark your calendars for February 7, 2025, and get ready for a moving and empowering cinematic experience on ZEE5.
