The Legend Of Michael Mishra cast: Arshad Warsi, Aditi Rao Hydari, Boman Irani, Kayoze Irani

Director: Manish Jha

The Legend of Michael Mishra will make you cry for the wasted talent of Arshad Warsi, Boman Irani and Aditi Rao Hydari.

Michael Mishra (pronounced as Misra) is a small-time hood who falls in love with pretty Patna lass Varsha Shukla (pronounced Barsa Sukla). They take so many pains in losing the ‘h’ that you want to tell them that it’s all right, you know it is ‘sor’, not ‘shor’: remember that ‘pawan’ song?

Misraji decides to go straight and narrow because that’s Barsaji wants, and the film goes all over the place, thinking it’s all very quirky and phunny, but it’s as bereft of any humour as water in a desert. Yeah, I know, such a horribly clichéd analogy, but it is a perfect fit for the antics of Misraji, Barsaji. He is banished to a ‘kala-pani’ like prison where he pines away ; she takes off to Mumbai to try her luck in Bollywood.

The Legend of Michael Mishra is flat from start to finish, and one of Bollywood’s most charming actors can do nothing to save it. The script is daft, to say the very least.

Besides, Warsi and Hydari are terribly mismatched, not just because of the obvious age gap, but because there is no spark between them.

Verdict of The Legend Of Michael Mishra: Don’t waste your time and money. The movie is not even one time watch
