Sanya Malhotra starrer Mrs. on X: Netizens asks ‘When to draw the line of TOLERANCE?’

On February 7, 2025, Mrs., which starred Sanya Malhotra in the lead role, was made available on ZEE5. After being married, Richa, a trained dancer, finds it difficult to fulfill her duties as a housewife. Explore these ten tweets in this article that demonstrate how the film’s portrayal of marriage and patriarchy was deemed “too real” by online users.

Numerous internet users on X (previously Twitter) who saw the film Mrs. or its widely circulated snippets expressed their agitation at finding it still relevant in today’s world.

A tweet read, “Ladies, plz do watch MRS movie, a powerful take on marriage, patriarchy & women’s silent struggles at home. I was so frustrated throughout. ur other half is not ur maid & marriage is not about servitude. If u r not willing to share a load u aren’t the right partner for any women.”

Another added, “Even today in many households women are expected to cook, serve, clean and then eat after the men are done. #mrs on Zee 5 depicts the subtle, and not-so-subtle ways in which patriarchal norms suffocate a woman’s life post marriage. Sadly, this film is too real even in 2025.”

A netizen stated, “#Mrs was a movie which triggered me not because of the content but because this may be a common reality when women try their best but it’s never enough. When to draw the line of TOLERANCE? The Guys need to watch it for what NOT TO DO when they get married FR.”

In reaction to a clip where Richa’s father-in-law refutes her for not serving a hand-grind chutney, a user wrote, “It’s so real that you start wondering and questioning years of childhood memories of seeing the women in your family go through this. This movie literally keeps you at the EDGE.”

Another tweet read, “Watched Mrs.and bro, it scared the sh*t out of me. Marriages can be terrifying. The movie is still relevant because this is exactly how some households in India still operate. I expected a slightly better ending, but I guess the one they gave was more realistic.”

The film starring Kanwaljit Singh and Nishant Dahiya, directed by Arati Kadav, is presented by Jio Studios in collaboration with Baweja Studios.
