Mimi (2021)

 


A movie which was awaited by a huge audience due to its orthodox starcast and a concept which is comparatively less explored and not demonstrated in the way it should be done. Unfortunately its still not done.

The movie is about an aspiring actress Mimi (Kriti Sanon) who agrees to surrogate to an American couple to fund her Bollywood dream. She is the most beautiful and glamorous women in her locality and her income comes through dance performances. She gets selected for surrogacy by the foreign couple, since dancers and athletes are considered to have the best bodies. After few months of successful IVF, the couple abandons Mimi to decide on her own the fate of the unborn baby. Till this point of time the movie is fun-filled but post this, the story moves towards romanticising motherhood. 

You will have a good time watching the movie every second you see bhanu (Pankaj Tripathi) on the screen, for a change he's got a pretty good screen time. Kriti Sanon too is pretty good and has given her every bit for the character. 

In pieces, the movie is brilliant - when bhanu tries to convince Mimi for surrogacy, when Mimi is pregnant and they try to hide her identity from the world, when the secret is revealed to Mimis parents, when the white baby is born in the small town. Even after all this, the story fails with the writing, though the execution is great by the actors. Something which is most upsetting is that the movie is not in sync with the Indian society and so we get disconnected as the movie proceeds.

So to sum it up, the movie is a mix of comedy, acting and timepass, but you need to keep aside, expectation for a strong concept & common sense/logic.
