Mrs. OTT Release Date: Sanya Malhotra won the Best Actress Award at the New York Indian Film Festival for her performance in this project. An official remake of the Malayalam drama The Great Indian Kitchen (2021), the film after premiering at several award shows is ready to drop on OTT. Here are five things you must know about this heartwarming saga of a small homemaker and her big dreams.
After much anticipation and long wait, Mrs. is all set to release on Zee 5 on 7th February 2025. The streaming giant while making the announcement wrote on their social handles, ¡°From stage to the stove - Her life is about to change! Get ready to experience the life-changing journey of Richa!... From dancing on the floor to acing the kitchen, Mrs. is in for a life-changing journey!¡±
Richa, a dancer marries into a traditional, patriarchal family where the women do all the work, and the men look out just for themselves. Her husband is insensitive to her dreams, and the family has outdated beliefs about a woman¡¯s role in life. After enduring mistreatment, she eventually leaves the family, finding freedom and independence as a dance teacher.
Directed by Arati Kadav, Mrs. also stars Kanwaljit Singh and Nishant Dahiya in key roles. Produced by Harman Baweja, Pammi Baweja, Smitha Baliga and Jyoti Deshpande, the adaptation was re-written by Harman Baweja and Anu Singh Choudhary in the screenplay of Neha Dubey. This one¡¯s a Sagar Desai and Faizan Hussain musical cinematographed by Pratham Mehta and edited by Prerna Saigal.
A part of the Asian Movie Pulse review of Mrs. read, ¡°In her (Arati) demanding, heart-racing tale about patriarchal bullying, there is barely a moment to inhale and exhale with an ¡®oom¡¯. In the film, the best of Bollywood is incorporated without becoming a Bollywood film. It¡¯s the love of dance and music that comes out of it, and a great choreography that doesn¡¯t impose any problems on the trained ballet dancer and performer that Sanya Malhotra is. She is, so to speak, dancing through the film, and out of the toxic marriage with ease. That is a true fairytale.¡±
Mrs. has been featured in several international film festivals. It premiered at the 2023 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, with its teaser released in November of the same year. The film was selected as the closing film at the 2024 New York Indian Film Festival, where director Arati Kadav received a nomination for Best Director. It also had its Asia premiere at the 55th IFFI on November 22, 2024, and was showcased at the 14th Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) in 2024.
