A disappointing mess that overglorifies motherhood

The new Netflix film 'Mimi' chooses the conventional, skewed and judgemental route to depict motherhood, making it nothing other than a forgettable piece of work.

Since the dawn of Hindi cinema, the portrayal of mothers has always been an issue of concern. While a few progressive movies have made a mother character more than a mother by focusing on their individuality, many mainstream movies still limit such characters to stereotypes. They are presented as 'homely', forgiving, sacrificing and selfless people whose lives only revolve around their children.
