Mr Ya Miss (transl. Mr or Miss) is a 2005 Indian Hindi-language body swap, comedy film written and directed by Antara Mali. Also starring herself along with Ritesh Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani and Divya Dutta.[1]
Plot
The movie deals with a wealthy Gujarati-speaking Sanjay Patel, a self-styled Indian casanova who believes in dating and flirting with a lot of women and breaking their hearts. He works as an executive in an advertising firm and is very friendly with a male co-worker, Shekhar, who is exactly Sanjay's opposite when it comes to women. Sanjay's flirtatious actions land him in trouble with three women, Loveleen, Seema, and Rita, where he is accidentally killed by Loveleen.
After his death, he appears before Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and requests that they let him return to earth. They give him a last chance to mend his ways and behaviour with women before the next Shivaratri. Sanjay returns to earth, but the next day he treats this as a bad dream and sets about his usual way. This does not auger well with Parvati, and she recommends to Lord Shiva that Sanjay's gender be changed to female in order to enable him to understand and appreciate women.
The transformation occurs, and Sanjay, much to his horror, is transformed into a woman. He changes his name to Sanjana, introduces himself as Sanjay's stepsister, and makes others believe that Sanjay will return after Shivaratri. Sanjana goes to Loveleen, convinces her of her real identity as Sanjay, and persuades her to give her lessons in being a woman. While working in the company, Sanjana faces much catcalling and harassment, thus making her feel the pain of a woman. She has several problems as the things she used to do with other girls, like flirting, are being done to her.
One day, after a bar fight, a drunk Sanjana and Shekhar spent a night together. In the morning, Sanjana has no memory of the encounter and accuses Shekhar of raping her while she was passed out. Soon, Sanjana finds herself pregnant with his child. Sanjay's dead body is found and identified by both Sanjana and Shekhar. Sanjana is arrested by the police in Sanjay's murder case.
She finally reveals in front of Shekhar about being Sanjay. Slowly, while leading a woman's life, Sanjana understands the error of her ways as a man. With Shekhar's help, Sanjana is proven innocent, and Loveleen is arrested for murdering Sanjay. At home, Sanjay wakes up from his sleep, and these events turn out to be his bad dream. He then mends his ways and starts avoiding women.

Reception
Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1 out of 5, writing, "On the whole, MR. YA MISS will neither appeal to Mr., Master, Miss or Mrs. amongst moviegoers."[3] Indrani Roy Mitra of Rediff.com wrote, "An apology of a film, Mr Ya Miss proves once again that not every good actor can be a good director. Direction is not everyone's cup of tea. Comedy, Ms Mali, is serious business. It's time you realised that.".[1]
