An Easy Watch Where The Emotions Work Despite The Contrivances
The comedy in Mimi isn't rib tickling. It is the kind of film that manages to keep a little persistent smile on your face. This could be seen as a positive but there is this feel that the scenes had potential for some real fun and somehow the makers aren't too keen to go all out. The film seems to be caught in between going over the top and wanting to be a low key comedy. (more)

Kriti Sanon Delivers Healthy Performance But Film Isn't A Bundle Of Joy
Mimi, jointly written by the director and Rohan Shankar and based on Samruddhi Porey's original story, tells a female-centric tale but falls into a self-defeating loop by treating the eponymous heroine as a baby-delivery tool who must then also conduct herself as a diligent, selfless mother to a child that isn't her own and showcase womanhood in all its 'glory'.

MIMI is a heartwarming saga, aimed at families and it will keep the audience thoroughly entertained. Strongly recommended.
MIMI begins on a great note which neatly explains the concept of surrogacy. Mimi�s entry is quick. How Mimi agrees to the surrogacy is great. The scene where Dr Asha Desai (Jaya Bhattacharya) announces that Mimi is pregnant is touching and this is where audiences realize that the film will score even emotionally. (more)

Dramedy At Its Finest As Kriti Sanon & Pankaj Tripathi Nail The Fusion Of Genres!
Laxman Utekar does a poignant job at mashing up clever humour with well-written drama. The visible clarity in his vision of treating the narrative helps to create a moving connection with the story of Mimi. He wants you to be emotionally invested in the leading lady, but he also wants you to laugh out loud at her life�s peculiar situations. (more)

Kriti Sanon and Pankaj Tripathi film is an emotional rollercoaster
Mimi is a great attempt at bringing a social taboo like surrogacy to the centre stage. However, in trying to make it more entertaining and emotional, the makers lose a good opportunity. The film has some really funny scenes, and if melodrama is something you don't mind, you should definitely give Mimi one watch. (more)
