Mimi Review: Kriti Sanon with a brilliant performance
Mimi starring Kriti Sanon is released. The film is now streaming on Netflix and let’s see how it is.
Mimi(Kriti Sanon) is a small-town girl whose only dream is to become an actress. Bhanu(Pankaj Tripathi) is a cab driver who lures Mimi to become the surrogate mother of a US couple. As the money is big, Mimi accepts the offer and undergoes surrogacy. The twist in the tale arises when the foreign couple refuses to own the baby. What will Mimi do now? How will she face her family and society? What steps does she take in life? That forms the story.
Kriti Sanon is known to do glamor roles but in this film, she makes a U-Turn and gives a fabulous performance. The character of Mimi gives her ample scope to perform and Kriti is first class in her character. The young actor showcases fabulous emotions as a young and helpless mother.
Pankaj Tripathi is known to do solid roles and is amazing as Bhanu. He evokes comedy, emotion and is a solid backbone of the film. Supriya Pathak and the other supporting cast does a wonderful job in the film.
The concept of surrogacy and the emotional drama that is executed through it is so good. The special aspect of the film is that it has ample comedy in the film. Both the fun and emotions are mixed so perfectly in the film.
Mimi, jointly written by the director and Rohan Shankar and based on Samruddhi Porey’s original story, tells a female-centric tale but falls into a self-defeating loop by treating the eponymous heroine as a baby-delivery tool who must then also conduct herself as a diligent, selfless mother to a child that isn’t her own and showcase womanhood in all its ‘glory’.
Though the concept is quite good, you know where the film is heading. After a point in the last fifteen minutes, the story becomes quite predictable. The character of Pankaj Tripathi does so much in the film and some emotional angle to connect the story to his character would have given some more effect to the film. There are a few logical errors that go missing in the film.
