Frankly, I went into this movie hoping to witness something special, but was disappointed. Compared to the Hindi movies being churned out today, Mimi was a good movie. But, compared to other regional cinema in India, it was bad and a difficult movie to bear when compared to movies of the same genre made outside India.
The only highlight of this extremely boring, unrealistic and predictable movie was the ever-dependable Pankaj Tripathi. The man shone above the rest in both the dramatic scenes and the comedic sequences (impeccable timing).
Kriti Sanon, definitely gave her career-best performance, but, that's not saying a lot in her case considering the low benchmark she had set with her performances in previous films.
Manoj Pahwa, too was good in the role of Mimi's father. Seemed genuine.
Rest of the cast members were forgettable, which is a pity. The direction was sporadically good. Editing seemed to be on point, but the excessive use of BGM to convey sentiments became overbearing.
So, for those who have been exposed to a wide range of cinema, this movie is easily passable. A highly overrated movie in my opinion.
