== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
John and Summer are an American couple who cannot conceive are visiting [[Rajasthan]] in search of a surrogate mother. They come across Mimi, a local dancer and feel that she would be the perfect surrogate mother for their child. They convince local taxi driver Bhanu to recruit Mimi to be their surrogate, with the promise of ₹20 lakhs. Mimi, who has aspirations of stardom in Bollywood but does not have the financial means required to chase her dreams, agrees after initial hesitation. The [[In vitro fertilisation|IVF]] procedure is successful and Mimi becomes pregnant. In order to hide the pregnancy from her parents, Mimi lies and tells them that she is going to Mumbai for 9 months for the shoot of a film. She starts living with her friend Shama. Bhanu is asked by John and Summer to take care of Mimi while she is pregnant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few weeks later, a routine check up reveals that Mimi&#039;s unborn child has [[Down syndrome|Down Syndrome]]. This news devastates John and Summer and they abruptly leave for America telling Bhanu that they don&#039;t want the baby anymore and suggest Mimi to abort it. Upon learning about this, Mimi is disheartened but rejects the idea of abortion and decides to carry the child to term. Mimi returns home who is visibly pregnant and lies that the child belongs to Bhanu when asked about the father of the baby. This causes its own set of problems, as Bhanu has a wife in Delhi who hasn&#039;t seen him for months. When she and Bhanu&#039;s mother show up in Rajasthan at Mimi&#039;s home, chaos and confusion ensues. Eventually, Mimi comes clean about the surrogacy and her unborn child is accepted by her parents and family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mimi gives birth to a healthy boy named Raj, revealing that the earlier test result was a false positive. She becomes deeply attached to Raj and puts her Bollywood aspirations on hold to take care of him. Shama and Bhanu continue to be a major part of Raj&#039;s life as he grows up in Mimi&#039;s home, doted upon by Mimi&#039;s parents. However, four years later, John and Summer return to India after seeing a video of Mimi and Raj online. They tell Mimi that they&#039;ve changed their minds about the baby and want to take Raj back to America. Mimi confronts Summer and saying that Raj is her child now and she won&#039;t give him back but John threatens legal action as Mimi had signed a contract for surrogacy and has no legal right over Raj as long as she was paid for her services. Bhanu and Mimi&#039;s parents prepare to fight it out in court, but Mimi rejects this notion and decides to give Raj back to John and Summer as she doesn&#039;t want Raj to face the struggle of court cases. On the day of John and Summer&#039;s flight back to America; Mimi, Bhanu, and family meet them the couple to send Raj off with them, but are surprised to seen John with a child, whom Summer claims as their daughter. It is then revealed that while coming back from Mimi&#039;s house, the couple came across an orphanage and felt a connection with Tara and decided to adopt her. Summer explains how after seeing Mimi with Raj, she realized that parenthood has nothing to do with blood but everything to do with love and care. They leave Raj with Mimi and family, recognizing that he is her son in every practical sense and belongs with her.&lt;br /&gt;

== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
John and Summer are an American couple who cannot conceive are visiting [[Rajasthan]] in search of a surrogate mother. They come across Mimi, a local dancer and feel that she would be the perfect surrogate mother for their child. They convince local taxi driver Bhanu to recruit Mimi to be their surrogate, with the promise of ₹20 lakhs. Mimi, who has aspirations of stardom in Bollywood but does not have the financial means required to chase her dreams, agrees after initial hesitation. The [[In vitro fertilisation|IVF]] procedure is successful and Mimi becomes pregnant. In order to hide the pregnancy from her parents, Mimi lies and tells them that she is going to Mumbai for 9 months for the shoot of a film. She starts living with her friend Shama. Bhanu is asked by John and Summer to take care of Mimi while she is pregnant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few weeks later, a routine check up reveals that Mimi&#039;s unborn child has [[Down syndrome|Down Syndrome]]. This news devastates John and Summer and they abruptly leave for America telling Bhanu that they don&#039;t want the baby anymore and suggest Mimi to abort it. Upon learning about this, Mimi is disheartened but rejects the idea of abortion and decides to carry the child to term. Mimi returns home who is visibly pregnant and lies that the child belongs to Bhanu when asked about the father of the baby. This causes its own set of problems, as Bhanu has a wife in Delhi who hasn&#039;t seen him for months. When she and Bhanu&#039;s mother show up in Rajasthan at Mimi&#039;s home, chaos and confusion ensues. Eventually, Mimi comes clean about the surrogacy and her unborn child is accepted by her parents and family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mimi gives birth to a healthy boy named Raj, revealing that the earlier test result was a false positive. She becomes deeply attached to Raj and puts her Bollywood aspirations on hold to take care of him. Shama and Bhanu continue to be a major part of Raj&#039;s life as he grows up in Mimi&#039;s home, doted upon by Mimi&#039;s parents. However, four years later, John and Summer return to India after seeing a video of Mimi and Raj online. They tell Mimi that they&#039;ve changed their minds about the baby and want to take Raj back to America. Mimi confronts Summer and saying that Raj is her child now and she won&#039;t give him back but John threatens legal action as Mimi had signed a contract for surrogacy and has no legal right over Raj as long as she was paid for her services. Bhanu and Mimi&#039;s parents prepare to fight it out in court, but Mimi rejects this notion and decides to give Raj back to John and Summer as she doesn&#039;t want Raj to face the struggle of court cases. On the day of John and Summer&#039;s flight back to America; Mimi, Bhanu, and family meet them the couple to send Raj off with them, but are surprised to seen John with a child, whom Summer claims as their daughter. It is then revealed that while coming back from Mimi&#039;s house, the couple came across an orphanage and felt a connection with Tara and decided to adopt her. Summer explains how after seeing Mimi with Raj, she realized that parenthood has nothing to do with blood but everything to do with love and care. They leave Raj with Mimi and family, recognizing that he is her son in every practical sense and belongs with her.&lt;br /&gt;

Laxman puts together a roster of terrific actors, but &#039;&#039;Mimi&#039;&#039; rests on Kriti’s shoulders. She also works hard – putting on weight, working with a Rajasthani accent. In the climax, she is able to summon a wellspring of emotion but largely, her efforts are undermined by the script and her own inability to let go of synthetic Bollywood glamour.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=Chopra|first=Anupama|date=2021-07-27|title=Mimi, On Netflix And Jio Cinema, Operates At A Simplistic, Superficial Level|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/reviews/bollywood-review/mimi-movie-review-netflix-operates-at-a-simplistic-superficial-level-kriti-sanon-pankaj-tripathi-sai-tamhankar-supriya-pathak-manoj-pahwa-anupama-chopra/|access-date=2021-07-27|website=Film Companion|language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It’s sad that &#039;&#039;Mimi&#039;&#039; reduces its titular character to a stereotype that never feels authentic.

However, in trying to make it more entertaining and emotional, the makers lose a good opportunity.
