For those sated of seeing big stars playing larger than life characters in movies with fictitiously overblown stories, Main Meri Patni Aur Woh is a whiff of fresh air.
The movie tells the tale of a short-heighted, ordinary looking man who is married to a tall, good-looking girl. The movie brings forth the husband’s insecurities and inferiority complex because deep inside he feels that he is no match for his beautiful and charming wife. Rajpal Yadav plays the husband. Bengali actress Rituparna Sengupta plays the wife.
Mithilesh (Rajpal Yadav) is a librarian at the Lucknow University. He is a short, ordinary looking man who gets married to a beautiful girl Veena (Rituparna Sengupta).
Soon after marriage, Mithilesh begins to encounter his own inferiorities. He feels sidelined in front of his tall and beautiful wife. Whenever someone compliments Veena, Mithilesh is reminded of his own nondescript looks and personality. Veena’s interaction with any male makes him jealous.
A desperate Mithilesh turns to lord Shiva for help. He also tries to instill confidence inside him and tries to outsmart people just to assure himself of some self-worth.
But this superficial confidence busts with the coming of Akash (Kay Kay Menon), a suave, handsome man who turns out to be the childhood friend of Veena. Akash has a dynamic personality. He smokes with swagger, drinks with style and plays guitar with ease. Akash is everything that Mithilesh longs to be.
While Veena and Akash groove in like best of friends, Mithilesh feels out of place.
Mithilesh tries to improve himself. He begins to work out, starts reading books, begins to imitate Akash and even visits a quack to get taller. But all this comes to no use. It is then Mithilesh takes a decision. This decision changes the course of the story.
Directed by Chandan Arora, the movie is almost a slice of real life – a simple and interesting story revolving around characters that are ordinarily unique and easy to identify with.
Rajpal Yadav literally slips under the skin of his character, Mithilesh. The talented, ordinary-looking actor does a brilliant job playing a nondescript.
Rituparna Sengupta looks gorgeous and plays her part with conviction. She is already a star in Bengali cinema, but she underplays herself in this movie.
Kay Kay Mennon lives up to his reputation of a skilled actor. He deftly brings a slightly overt flamboyance and panache to his character.
Director Chandan Arora must be complimented for trying a refreshingly different story on screen. Main Meri Patni Aur Woh walks a less-trodden line. Although the songs fail to punctuate the movie well enough and the second half gets a bit too slow and predictable, the movie’s stirring conclusion absolves it of its faults.
