Review: Mrs Serial Killer: Utterly messed-up

"Mrs Serial Killer" aims to be a psycho thriller, and Kunder probably thought of making it because the only film of worth he's ever made so far was "Kriti", a short film that belonged to that genre and garnered much applaud.

"Mrs Serial Killer"; Cast: Jacqueline Fernandez, Manoj Bajpayee, Mohit Raina, Zayn Marie; Direction: Shirish Kunder; Rating: * (one star)

"Mrs Serial Killer" aims to be a psycho thriller, and Kunder probably thought of making it because the only film of worth he's ever made so far was "Kriti", a short film that belonged to that genre and garnered much applaud.

Bajpayee is Mrityunjoy Mukherjee, a successful gynaecologist. A serial killer is on the prowl. Bodies of half a dozen young pregnant girls have been found
