5 years already? Time flies! I remember watching it in theatre and crying like a baby. The way Mimi handled all those emotional ups and downs, and the societal stigma around surrogacy... really well made film. Kriti deserves all the love she's getting. 👏
Coming from the US, I didn't know much about this film but heard so much about Kriti Sanon's performance. After seeing some clips, I'm genuinely impressed. Bollywood is making such impactful stories these days. Great to see Indian cinema getting global recognition!
Kriti Sanon has come a long way from Heropanti! Mimi was a game-changer for her career, and she proved she's not just a commercial star but a powerhouse performer. That National Award was well deserved. Ab aur aisi films chahiye! 🙌
I appreciate the film's message but I also think the movie could have been more nuanced about surrogacy ethics. Some scenes felt a bit Bollywood-dramatic. Still, Kriti's acting was top notch and it's great to see such conversations happening in mainstream Indian cinema.
Mimi will always be special! That scene where she decides to keep the baby despite everything... so powerful. And Sai Tamhankar was amazing too. Kriti truly wears her heart on her sleeve. So happy for her success! ❤️
