One of the reasons I did Bala was because the other girl’s part was written so well-Bhumi Pednekar
9:51 AM
Bhumi Pednekar enjoys doing movies with another strong female character, as she feels girls ‘understand and root for each other’
Akash Bhatnagar (HINDUSTAN TIMES; March 15, 2025)
Bhumi Pednekar’s latest film, Mere Husband Ki Biwi, released last month and it failed to rake in the moolah at the box office. However, the actor is satisfied with the project, as she says, “As long as somebody finds something to connect with the film, I am okay with it. We wanted to make a fun popcorn watcher, so if it is successful in doing that, it’s enough. I really hope that the time of word-of-mouth films doesn’t go away. If that didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have been here.”
Like Bala (2019), Saand Ki Aankh (2019), Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019) and Govinda Naam Mera (2022), Mere Husband Ki Biwi, too, is a two-heroine film, co-starring Rakul Preet Singhs.
Sharing how she enjoys being a part of such projects rather than feeling insecure, Bhumi says, “I am a very secure actor. A lot of times, the length of a female actor’s role takes a hit due to a male actor’s part, so it’s unfair to do the same to another female actor in a two-heroine film. Ultimately, these are all characters. I had so much fun working on films with another strong female character, because as girls, we understand and always root for each other. I have done a Saand Ki Aankh with Taapsee (Pannu, actor), which is one of my most cherished works.”
Bhumi insists that for her, a good story is all that matters. “I will never leave a film because the other female part is better. Aap mujhe chaar scene bhi doge toh I will do my best. In that story, if there are 10 protagonists or just me, it doesn’t make a difference. Like in Bala, I feel Yami (Gautam Dhar, actor) killed it, and a very good reason why I did Bala was because the other girl’s part was written so well,” she ends.
(Crisp) Movie Review: MERE HUSBAND KI BIWI by FENIL SETA
3:13 PM
Mere Husband Ki Biwi rests on an interesting idea. The dialogues are funny and the characters are very well fleshed out. Despite its run time of 141 minutes, it doesn't look dragging. On the flipside, though the film has funny dialogues, it doesn't have ample funny goings-on. An important plot point, shown initially in flashes and glimpses, is missing from the film and it takes away the impact majorly. Lastly, it gives a déjà vu of films like De De Pyaar De, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety and even Housefull. Arjun Kapoor puts in a sincere effort and he's apt for such roles. Rakul Preet Singh is quite entertaining. Bhumi Pednekar takes the cake; she slips into the role effortlessly. Harsh Gujral dominates and raises a lot of laughs. Dino Morea, Aditya Seal, Tiku Talsania and Mukesh Rishi leave a mark. All in all, Mere Husband Ki Biwi is an average fare.
My rating - ** ½ out of 5!

CHHAAVA IS A BLOCKBUSTER; WILL MERE HUSBAND KI BIWI SUCCEED?
The biggest film of 2025 yet, Chhaava, has brought cheers in the industry as it has performed beyond expectations, just like most of the movies backed by Maddock Films. The film was expected to open at Rs. 20 crores plus. But it managed to collect Rs. 29 crores, which no one had expected. The film jumped to Rs. 34 crores on Saturday and then saw another jump as it earned a whopping Rs. 44 crores on Sunday.
Chhaava didn’t fall much on Monday. It collected Rs. 23 crores on Monday, which was just 20% less than Friday collections. The film then jumped to Rs. 24.50 crores on Tuesday, as the next day, Wednesday, was a holiday in Maharashtra due to Shivaji Jayanti. As per early reports, the film collected around Rs. 29-30 crores on its sixth day, which is simply phenomenal.
There will be some drop for Chhaava on Thursday. It’ll cross the Rs. 200 crore mark in its first week. Then, it's all about how it holds in the second weekend. If the hold is strong, Chhaava can cross the Rs. 300 crore mark and maybe even enter the Rs. 400 crore club.
As per Box Office India, the first day number was ‘pushed’ and this is a bit of a downer for the film. Chhaava already had a strong buzz. With this ‘push’, its first day numbers would have been lesser but looking at the response, it would have still done remarkably well. In fact, then its numbers would have brought even more cheer.
Nevertheless, the job is done and Chhaava is the biggest hit for Bollywood after Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which arrived way back in Diwali 2024.
Meanwhile, the big release of the week is Mere Husband Ki Biwi. It was shot way back in the second half of 2022 and finally releases in cinemas tomorrow, February 21. It stars Arjun Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar and is directed by Mudassar Aziz of Khel Khel Mein fame. The concept is interesting and the film looks appealing.
Sadly, the trailer is not as funny as intended. The casting is not that attractive for people and on top of it, there’s huge competition from Chhaava. Mere Husband Ki Biwi should hopefully have an opening of more than Rs. 1 crore. There’s an offer of buy-one-ticket-get-one-free in PVR Inox cinemas and it remains to be seen if it helps the film.

Shooting band kara di gayi hai: FWICE chief on the ceiling collapse of Mere Husband Ki Biwi set

On Saturday, several people were injured at the shoot of Mere Husband Ki Biwi in Mumbai, after the ceiling of the set collapsed. The injured include actor Arjun Kapoor, producer Jackky Bhagnani, director Mudassar Aziz and many crew members.
However, Federation of Western India Cine Employees’ (FWICE) president Birendra Nath Tiwari assures that nobody has suffered serious injuries. “Shukar hai kisi ko kuch zyada laga nahin. Jahaan shooting ho rahi thi, wahaan pe shooting band kara di gayi hai for safety reasons. The ceiling collapsed due to poor maintenance,” he said.
Tiwari adds that the federation is trying to bring in long-term changes: “We have written to the Prime Minister as well as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra over the health and safety of workers in the industry. We have written to the Film City [studio authorities] too, that the foundations [of the sets] are so old that they can collapse any day. So, a structural audit needs to be done. There is no exit gate in case of a mishap. Puri film industry bhagwan ke sahare chal rahi hai, par bhagwan bhi kab tak hi dekhega.”
