While I liked that 'Mirch' tries to tell the story of smart and dominant women who definitely know how to manipulate their men, it's mostly been let down by poor writing, editing and average execution. Rajpal Yadav does a decent job and Shreyas Talpade goes over the top. Shahana Goswami too does a terrific job even though her character wasn't properly fleshed out. While Konkona performs naturally, Raima shows tremendous growth as an actress. Konkona Sen Sharma and Raima Sen are first rate. Arunodhay Singh is very good in the second and third segment and he hams it up in the first and fourth segment. Similarly, the last one is needlessly extended and ruined by Boman Irani's irritating performance. The fourth segment is pretty much the typical bored metropolitan housewife having an affair with an artist story and it is unnecessarily stretched. The love scenes in the third segment look staged and lacked sensuality but the art direction is wonderful. While the second segment is well executed, the songs were a bit excessive. The following two stories are more like folktales. Moreover, the Tisca Chopra track in the end is completely pointless and looks forced. While this story is halfbaked, the characters are very poorly developed. The first story that revolves around a struggling screenwriter and his girlfriend who try to convince a producer to make a movie from his script. While I liked that the women were portrayed as strong and dominant, the men are almost portrayed as dumb caricatures. There are four stories withing a story (thus in total five). While the concept may not be entirely novel and writer/director Vinay Shukla seems to have sincere intentions, 'Mirch' suffers from poor writing.
