Mimi follows the story of an American Couple who opt for surrogacy. Enter Mimi an aspiring actor who agrees to be part of the procedure. Without revealing too much of the story or its crucial plot points I can safely say that the story is sweet, cute and will leave a smile on your face. I was skeptical considering the usual films where the grip on the narrative is lost. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the screenplay. There is this likable quality and innocence to it right from the first scene. The first half is breezy and indeed a joyride. The comic elements definitely will make you smile in what turned out to be a supremely engaging screenplay. The drama gets a little more serious in the second hour and to be honest it was the need of the hour to considering the nature of the topic and the seriousness of it post a remarkable twist at the halfway mark. The twists continue through the second hour as well although there are plenty of cliched moments and twists which were predictable. But here specifically I did not mind it at all. Where the film falters only slightly is in its final act which seemed too convenient for me. And the melodrama quotient was on the higher side as well, opposed to the rest of the second half which wasn’t as dramatic. The conflicts get resolved far too easily in the last 10 minutes which was a bit far fetched. But overall a breezy and well written screenplay that will make you laugh and cry yet leave a smile on your face.
