Pankaj Tripathi is very good as Bhanu the driver and brings a comedy quotient to the film. Supriya Pathak and the actress who played Shama were also good.

Analysis
Mimi is based on the concept of surrogacy. So many films have been made in Hindi in this concept but Mimi has fun engraved in it so well. The manner in which it is unleashed with a lot of wits makes things tick in a big way.
The director Laxman Utekar has done good homework and makes his emotions work in the best possible manner. There is no dull moment in the film as the fun and emotions go hand in hand making things so easy for the audience.
The last half an hour is the life of the film as it has moving emotions. Kriti and her intense act will move you for sure. The clean drama will also make this film click with the family audience. Amidst all this bold content on OTT, here is a film called Mimi that really works and is a really satisfying watch for the audience.
Bottom Line – Emotionally charged film’
