Plot: This film is about a dancer who becomes a mother without marrying. What could be the reason she became a mother? Her dream was to become a heroine. What happened in her life that caused her to abandon her dream of becoming a heroine? Would her parents accept her child and society accept an unmarried mother? Would her child learn the name of the father? Watch the movie to know all the answers.

Tone and Theme: This film has a comedy drama tone. Its theme is about emotions and caring. The goal of making this film was to entertain, but emotions have also been added in abundance.

Acting and Characters: What a immense, high powered, and astounding acting Kriti Sanon has done in the role of Mimi; this role is the most challenging and well built of her film career so far; it is unbelievable that this is Kriti Sanon, who is completely lost in her role and has put her whole heart into it, whether it is her humor, facial expressions, dialogue delivery, and Rajasthani language accent, Rajasthani dresses, emotional scenes, what an acting she has done with such a

Pankaj Tripathi‘s acting in the character of Pandey is also great; he is a specialist in playing comedic roles.His acting is also excellent; there are no flaws in his performance; he has given this role his all. Sai Tamhankar‘s acting in the role of Shama is also very good; her and Mini’s chemistry is amazing, and she left no stone unturned in whatever role she was given. Supriya Pathak, Manoj Pahwa, Evelyn Edwards, and Aidan Whytock‘s acting in supporting roles is also good; the acting of all of these people contributes to the story’s strength.

Direction: It is directed by Laxman Utekar, who is also a successful cinematographer; previously, he directed Tapaal (2014), Lalbaugchi Rani (2016) in Marathi, and Luka Chuppi (2019), Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (2023) in Hindi and has done cinematography for Teri Baton Mein Aisa Ulja Jiya (2024); if you look at his record, he appears to be the most successful in both departments; such people are rare in the film industry;

all of the films he has made are better than the others; this also falls into the same category; he has a grip on the entire film, from beginning to end; also not allowed the film to deviate from its course; he has paid full attention to even the smallest details.

Story and Screenplay: Laxman Utekar and Rohan Shankar wrote the story together.The story is based on the Marathi film Mala aai Vhhaychy, but the screenplay is excellent, with no flaws.

Dialogues of Rohan Shankar are extremely funny and hilarious, with a Rajasthani accent.

Cinematography: Akash Agarwal’s is excellent. The city is shown well from aerial views.

The camera rotates 360 degrees, and the city streets are clearly visible.

Manish Pradhan’s editing is excellent, with a strong grip from start to finish and a fast pace.

The film never bores the audience; they are constantly curious about what will happen next and glued to their seats throughout.

Choreography: Ganesh Acharya is excellent in Param Sundari Song, and Vijay Ganguly is excellent in Rihaee de Song.

Costume Design: Sheetal Sharma has designed the backdrop and costumes very well according to Rajasthani culture.

Production Design: Subrata Chakraborty and Amit Ray did very well, and the sets of old houses are good.

Baylon Fonseca’s sound design is excellent, and the synchronization is flawless.

A.R Rahman’s music and background score require no introduction.

He did an excellent job capturing the film’s mood.

Amitabh Bhattacharya, the lyricist, has written good songs for both Param Sundari and Rihaee De.

Climax: It was very well made.

Opinion: Jitni baar dekho, utni baar kam hain. It’s very good; you’ll want to watch it again and again.

Do not follow this in real life; a disclaimer included at the beginning.
