So far, the sports drama has collected ₹ 19 crore, the report added. Mr & Mrs Mahi features Rajkummar Rao as Mahendra, and Janhvi Kapoor in the role of Mahima. In addition to the lead pair, audiences are also loving the performances of Zarina Wahab, Kumud Mishra, and Rajesh Sharma. Released on May 31, the movie narrates the story of a married couple and their passion for cricket.

He wrote, “#MrAndMrsMahi puts up a healthy score in Weekend 1… Started very well on Day 1, biz got a boost due to the discounted ticket rates [#CinemaLoversDay]… Followed it up with strong numbers on Day 2 and 3.”
Taran Adarsh continued, “Going forward, #MrAndMrsMahi needs to maintain the pace on the make-or-break Day 4 [Mon]. [Week 1] Fri 6.85 cr, Sat 4.65 cr, Sun 5.62 cr. Total: ₹ 17.12 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”

Meanwhile, in an NDTV review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Mr & Mrs Mahi 2 out of 5 stars and said, “Cricket and marriage get into an awkward tangle in Mr & Mrs Mahi, a sports melodrama that hinges on action on the field of play and plenty of reaction off it, mostly in the realms of a relationship that runs into tricky terrain.”
“The Sharan Sharma-directed film is about sport but it segues into a tale of marital discord when thwarted ambitions collide with suppressed emotions. The narrative is unusual to say the least but the treatment is devoid of any major departures from norm,” Saibal Chatterjee added.
Mr & Mrs Mahi has been collectively backed by Zee Studios and Dharma Productions.
