Mr and Mrs Mahi trailer: Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao team up for their love of cricket in this intriguing sports drama

Mr and Mrs Mahi trailer gives us a glimpse into how a newly wed couple bond through cricket and a dream they didn’t even know they shared!

Directed by Sharan Sharma and produced by Dharma Productions, the trailer of Mr and Mrs Mahi begins with the two leads meeting for the first time with the intention of an arranged marriage. After they do get married, the duo are in the stages of getting to know each other and slowly fall in love. Rajkummar Rao is shown to be working with his father but not achieving much with his career. He constantly gets a lot of flak for it by his dad who is never impressed with him for anything. Janhvi Kapoor’s character is a doctor. But while watching a cricket match together, both the Mahis realize that their passion for watching cricket is one of their major commonalities. Cut to a traumatic flashback where Rajkummar Rao did not just watch cricket in the past; it was in fact his dream to be a cricketer but due to luck and his father both not being on his side he had to give up on that dream.

One day, unintentionally, he sees Janhvi’s character playing cricket in their colony and he is shocked at how good she is. The surprising part is that she wasn't aware of her own talent and so far just looked at it as a hobby. Here’s when he sees an opportunity to vicariously relive his dream through her. Her cricket journey begins and he becomes her coach. But you also see glimpses of their relationship going through ups and downs whilst navigating this sport together. 

The film has an intriguing twist to the rom-com as well as the sports drama genre. You see them falling in love in the most Dharma way with ‘Dekha Tenu Pehli Pehli Baar Ve’ playing in the background but you also get a good balance of both of their cricket journeys. The film releases on the big screen on May 31 and we're intrigued to see how this story unfolds further!
