Wow, watching this movie was truly no less than a rollercoaster ride. There are tons of 'feel-good' moments in the movie, but the ones that really stand out are the interactions between Mimi and Bhanu, who have a strong chemistry (though not romantic) and comic timing. Sanon undoubtedly shines through as Mimi, taking the audience along the journey from a girl who is cocksure and naive to a protective and thoughtful mother figure. Tripathi as Bhanu, who becomes Mimi's best pal and fellow partner-in-crime played the role perfectly as 'just a friend'. Tamhankar role as supportive Shama, Mimi's bestie, that hides her pregnancy with her, was also perfect. Nonetheless, the disruption of the scripted plot, a dramatic theme, and the uncertainty of the ethics behind surrogacy are among the drawbacks of the film. After trying to find balance between comedy and drama, the movie gets too emotionally overwrought or too childish. The movie does not cover the consequences of Mimi's choice to have a child without marriage and how it impacts her life and career. The movie neglects the significance of the American couple, who appear as stereotypical and careless individuals and disappear from the story only to show up later. The movie does not question their moral justification to give up the infant while it does not also display Mimi's struggles through resisting to surrender her rights as a mother. To sum up, Mimi (2021) adds comedy and entertainement to the skills of Sanon and Tripathi, but also lacks realistic and serious portrayal of a surrogacy.
