‘Mr. & Mrs. Mahi’ movie review: This Janhvi Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao partnership doesn’t quite land

These are strange times, cinematically speaking, for fans of Rajkummar Rao and cricket. In his last release, the biographical drama Srikanth, the actor played a visually-impaired man who gives up his cricketing prospects to pursue higher studies abroad. “Education is more important to me, not cricket,” he explained. As though to make amends, Rao returns, three weeks later, in Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, where he plays a cricket-crazed monomaniac named Mahendra. “For me, cricket is life; life is cricket,” he asserts. Mahendra clings on to cricket, even though cricket sails him by.
