Mimi Movie Review. Kriti Sanon and Pankaj Tripathi film is an emotional rollercoaster

Mimi is an emotional and funny film around a social issue. the film stars Kriti Sanon and Pankaj Tripathi in lead roles.

There's is no sure-shot formula for the success of a remake in Bollywood. We have terrific remakes of some average films, and then there have been some that couldn't match the brilliance of the original. To decide which category Laxman Utekar's Mimi belongs is a little tricky. And we have our reasons for that. Mimi is the remake of Samruddhi Porey’s National Award-winning Marathi film Mala Aai Vhhaychy, which was released in 2011. A film based on surrogacy, Mimi is definitely a decade late to talk about the taboo topic in our society. But, better late than never. However, in order to make it appealing to the masses, the makers went overboard and Bollywoodised it to the extent that it became melodramatic beyond our appetite. Mimi is the story of a young girl (Kriti Sanon) from the state of Rajasthan who wants to become an actress in Bollywood. Like any other small-town girl with big dreams, she also needs money to go to Mumbai and try her luck in the film industry. With the help of a driver, Bhanu Pratap Pandey (Pankaj Tripathi), she comes in contact with a foreign couple who wants her to be a surrogate mother for Rs 20 lakh. Mimi agrees for the sake of the money, but unexpected consequences follow. The story and plotline of Mimi are exactly like that of Mala Aai Vhhaychy, however many changes have been made in the lead character to make it more family-friendly. While in Mimi, the central character looks modern and confident, in the original, she is more regular and is shown fighting the society all alone.
