Review of Mimi

10/10
It's a Kriti Sanon show!!

Warning: Spoilers
A good and entertaining hindi movie, in a while.

Story is about a girl(Kriti Sanon), an aspiring actress from small indian town, who agrees to be a surrogate mother for an American couple. And what happens when that couple decide to abandon her due to some unforeeen circumstances. How she deals with it, forms the rest of the story.

The execution of the plot is very engaging. The movie keeps you glued to the screen for its entire runtime. Screenplay and dialogues are crisp and applaud worthy.

Performances by each and every cast member is terrific. Sai Tamhanakar leaves a mark. Manoj Pahwa and Supriya Pathak are adorable as Mim's parents. Pankaj Tripathi is excellent and almost steals the thunder in every scene he is.

But it's Kriti Sanon who just wins you over with her range of emotions. She shines and shines bright in every scene she is in. She brings Mimi to life. Watch her acting during the child birth scene and you would be in awe. The fact that she stands out in midst of some of India's finest actors, says a lot about her.

The American actors are good too.

Blemishes? Very minor. The characterization of John and Summer could have been better developed. Some of their motivations don't make sense. Length could have been shortened by 10-15 mins. The culmination is very predictable and convenient. Makers could have been a little more creative. But that aside this is great cinema.

Recommended!
