Mrs. Secret is a fun, coming-of-age, action-packed and entertaining story of a simple Indian housewife who is actually a special secret agent who is called back to work after 10 years. However, in these 10 years, she has forgotten everything about being a secret agent as she devoted all her time to being “just” a housewife, taking care of her mother-in-law, father-in-law, son, and demanding patriarchal wife.
