Hola amigos de Hive. Hoy quiero hacerles un review de una interesante película que vi hace muy poco, se trata de MADRE SUSTITUTA cuyo título original es MIMI. Esta película llegó a mí, a través de las mismas sugerencias de NETFLIX. Esta una película emotiva un poco larga pero la verdad es que me gustó bastante.

_{Fuente: imdb.com}

En especial se torna muy interesante cuando hay un cambio de circunstancias. Además, trata temas muy controversiales, que lamentablemente nos demuestra la realidad de la sociedad en términos universales. También, pone a relucir valores, que no importa quien, donde o cuando, pero siempre harán una gran diferencia entre actuar bien o no.

Sin más ya entremos directo en materia.

Datos sobre Madre Sustituta 🎬

Esta es una película Hindi, que es un drama, pero también comedia. Una muy interesante y divertida combinación que le da sabor a esta historia. Como ya les comenté es un poco larga, porque tiene una duración de 132 minutos (poco más de dos horas).

_{Fuente: imdb.com}

Aunque esta película trata un tema serio, el cual se torna mucho más serio debido a un cambio de circunstancias, se equilibra muy bien con el buen humor gracias a papel clave de ciertos actores.

Esta producción está dirigida por Laxman Utekar, estrenada en el año 2021 y ha estado en el Top 10 de NETFLIX, así que es una buena recomendación para ver.

Trama de la historia 🎬

Madre Sustituta, narra la Historia de Mimi, quien acepta, luego de sus grande dudas, ser la madre sustituta de una pareja de americanos que no pueden tener hijos, y quienes viajan a la India para elegir una madre adecuada para llevar a su bebe durante los 9 meses de gestación.

Ellos, por experiencia de una amiga sabían que debían encontrar una joven sana, para poder encomendarle tan importante labor, porque la madre sustituta de su amiga había perdido al bebe por no estar en buenas condiciones de salud.

_{Fuente: Screenshot realizado por mí, mientras veía la película}

Allí se trata esta condición, al parecer común en la población de esa localidad. Por eso, el papel de la persona que les hace el transporte es vital, para conseguir a una muchacha joven, fuerte y con el mejor estado de salud para llevar a este bebe a feliz término.

Encuentran a la joven ideal, que es Mimi, quien luego de tener muchas dudas y recelos, acepta por la gran cantidad de dinero que le pagarían. Le pagarían dos millones de rupias por tener al bebe. Esto la ayudaría a cumplir sus sueños.

_{Fuente: Screenshot realizado por mí, mientras veía la película}

Ella recibiría la mitad del dinero, distribuida mensualmente durante los 9 meses de embarazo y el resto, cuando el embarazo llegara a término y le fuera entregado él bebe a sus padres.

La joven finalmente acepta, por lo cual sus circunstancias personales y familiares cambian drásticamente como consecuencia de su decisión y logra quedar finalmente embarazada.

Luego sucede el tan mencionado cambio de circunstancias y todos los proyectos que están en pie comienzan a derrumbarse. En este punto, sale a relucir la situación país que hace que la India sea un lugar ideal por la que personas de muchas nacionalidades acuden por el interés de conseguir lo que desean y que es imposible o más difícil en cualquier otro lugar.

ENGLISH VERSION

_{Fuente: imdb.com}

Hello friends of Hive. Today I would like to review an interesting film that I saw recently, it is SUTER MOTHER whose original title is MIMI. This movie came to me, through the same NETFLIX suggestions. This is an emotional movie a little long but the truth is that I liked it a lot.

_{Fuente: imdb.com}

It especially becomes very interesting when there is a change of circumstances. In addition, it deals with very controversial issues, which unfortunately shows us the reality of society in universal terms. Also, it brings out values, which no matter who, where or when, will always make a big difference between acting well or not.

Without further ado, let's get straight to the point.

Surrogate Mother Facts 🎬

This is a Hindi movie, which is a drama, but also comedy. A very interesting and funny combination that gives flavor to this story. As I told you it is a bit long, because it has a duration of 132 minutes (just over two hours).

_{Fuente: imdb.com}

Although this film deals with a serious subject, which becomes much more serious due to a change of circumstances, it is balanced very well with good humor thanks to the key role of certain actors.

_{Source: Screenshot taken by me while watching the film}

This production is directed by Laxman Utekar, released in 2021 and has been in the Top 10 on NETFLIX, so it's a good recommendation to watch.

Plot of the story 🎬

Surrogate Mother, tells the story of Mimi, who accepts, after great doubts, to be the surrogate mother of an American couple who cannot have children, and who travel to India to choose a suitable mother to carry their baby during the 9 months of gestation.

They knew from a friend's experience that they had to find a healthy young woman to entrust her with such an important task, because their friend's surrogate mother had lost the baby because she was not in good health.

_{Source: Screenshot taken by me while watching the film}

This condition, apparently common in the population of that locality, is treated there. For this reason, the role of the person who transports them is vital, to find a young, strong and healthy girl to carry this baby to term.

They find the ideal young woman, who is Mimi, who after having many doubts and misgivings, accepts because of the large amount of money she would be paid. She would be paid two million rupees to have the baby. This would help her to fulfill her dreams.

_{Source: Screenshot taken by me while watching the film}

She would receive half of the money, distributed monthly during the 9 months of pregnancy and the rest when the pregnancy reached term and the baby was delivered to her parents.

The young woman finally accepts, so her personal and family circumstances change drastically as a consequence of her decision and she finally gets pregnant.

Then the aforementioned change of circumstances occurs and all the projects that are in place begin to collapse. At this point, the country situation comes to light, which makes India an ideal place for people of many nationalities to come to in the interest of getting what they want, which is impossible or more difficult elsewhere.

Casting of Surrogate Mother🎬

The protagonists of this story are:

Kriti Sanon (Mimi Rathore):

She is the protagonist of the story, a beautiful young Indian girl, who is a dancer and has the desire to go to Bombay and become famous in *Bollywood*. Although she does not agree at first, she agrees to play the role of a surrogate mother for an American couple who are unable to have a baby, in exchange for a very high salary.

_{Fuente: imdb.com}

Pankaj Tripathi (Bhanu Pratap Pandey):

He is the taxi driver who works for the Americans while they are in India. He serves as their transport and also helps them in their search for the perfect mother for their son. He is a funny man who spices up the script but in the end his role as a noble gentleman, manages to make some strong reflections that are vital to the outcome of the film.

_{Source: Screenshot taken by me while watching the film}

Sai Tamhankar (Shama):

She plays the role of *Mimi's* friend, who is also a dancer and singer. She initially wants to protect and dissuade *Mimi* from becoming a surrogate mother, but after she makes her decision, she supports her 100% to the point of being willing to change her life completely when the change of circumstances happens.

_{Source: Screenshot taken by me while watching the film}

Evelyn Edwards (Summer Roger):

She is the American, who together with her husband John, unable to conceive on their own, are looking for a surrogate mother. She lived in India for a while and in fact speaks the local language so she can easily communicate with the local people.

_{Source: Screenshot taken by me while watching the film}

Aidan Whytock (John Roger):

He is Summer's husband and together they make a charming American couple who travel to India in their intense desire to become parents.

_{Source: Screenshot taken by me while watching the film}

Turn of history🎬

Fortunately, the artificial insemination was successful and Mimi manages to get pregnant. So she receives her first payment and recommendations to get her pregnancy off to a good start. As a result, she has to move house and change her family circumstances.

_{Source: Screenshot taken by me while watching the film}

Month by month the pregnancy goes very well. For each check-up Summer and John, who at the beginning of their pregnancy return to the USA, come back and go to the check-up together, until they receive unexpected news. But what can go wrong during pregnancy? Well, the truth is, there are many things that can go wrong.

Well, one of those possible things happens and everything that has happened as agreed from the beginning, faces a brutal change Do you want me to tell you more? Well, I don't want to spoiler, but I'll tell you everything that comes into play from here on out.

Crucial themes of this film🎬

Good and bad are always present in everyday life. But have you noticed how many people change their perception of good and evil according to their personal circumstances? Well, here is a stark reality of life, as "good" people do evil when their own interest or that of their own is affected, has it ever happened to you?

_{Source: Screenshot taken by me while watching the film}

This is what happens in Surrogate Mother. But we also see how the most unexpected people show absolute loyalty and take responsibility for what is not theirs, because of their strong and clearly rooted principles. Friendships are also put to the test in such circumstances, and those that are true become stronger in these moments.

Family ties are also vital in Surrogate Mother. In the face of the good, the Indian family is united, but in the face of the bad, will it remain the same? Another thing I love is to see, how the arrival of a child in someone's life or even in the family, no matter how it comes into it really brings happiness if only given a chance.

Want to know more about Surrogate Mother? Go watch it right now on Netflix, you'll have a great time, you can even watch it as a family because it's suitable for an audience of 13 years and older.

As an appetizer I leave you here the official trailer, but it's in English.

›Mimi - a Surrogacy story@sayee1599d
[source](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC56gTxNs4f9xZ7Pa2i5xNzg)
Imagine a young girl who wants to make it big in Bollywood but is short of money that she thinks is needed to get in.

Mimi, a girl who is beautiful, talented, and young is in a dilemma because she needs a lot of money to build a portfolio. She is approached by a taxi driver who brings a young western couple in search of a surrogate. The taxi driver convinces her that they would pay handsomely and also leave after she gives birth and she would be free to pursue her dreams.

Things go wrong when the couple leaves without saying a word after they learn that the child has complications and they do not want anything to do with it. Mimi, is left to deal with the situation and heavily pregnant, she returns to her house where her parents although devastated welcome her along with the taxi driver whom they think is her husband. She is taken care of by all of them. Things take a comic turn when the driver's wife and mother turn up and accuse him but Mimi ends up telling the truth that she is a surrogate.

She delivers a healthy baby boy and the whole village is jubilant. Time passes by but one day the couple turns up and demands that they return the child. Mimi and her family are destroyed but she agrees to return the child. They leave to meet the couple but they turn up with a baby girl whom they adopted and ask Mimi to look after their child and leave.

The movie is a family entertainer with a song that became a trendy one. This is a remake of the Marathi version but because Hindi is more accessible to the masses, this version is more popular.

Mimi is a movie on surrogacy and has a message about it. Many people come over to the villages and expect to take home healthy babies and if and when the baby is reported to be not healthy, they just take off. There are cases when the couple separate and this also causes an issue.

Mimi is played by Kriti Sanon who is a very versatile actor and along with Pankaj Tripathi who is a crowd puller. The dialogues by Pankaj are what make many people watch the movie. I hope he gets to play many more roles and get the deserved fame.

Parenting has nothing to do with blood and a good parent is one who is able to raise a socially responsible adult. Of course, there can be counterarguments to that and not everyone must have had a good parent/parents. The general idea is that parenting is a huge responsibility and disciplining children alone cannot make sure that he or she is raised well.

Mimi is also a warning to all people out there to be wary of taking on such huge responsibilities as surrogacy especially without consulting one's near and dear.

I am sure the movie will be a good watch and now that there are subtitles that help you to watch other language movies, language will not be a barrier.

You don't need to be related by blood to give love as a parent.

I'm not related with that sentences, but I totally agree with those kind of advice. Whoever you are, you can be a parent if you can give a love. It's useless if you have a children who's related by blood with you but you can't responsible it!

This is a message from Mimi's movie who want to convey to.

Mimi was A Bollywood movies who was released in these year in online platform. The film is very well written and delivered very well by the cast. What they wanted to convey was conveyed very great.

I really got a lot of goodness in this film which then made me not stop crying until the end of the film. I really recommended this movie to you. It's not conventional Bollywood movie, so if you are not Bollywood movie enthusiast, you would be love this kind of movie.

Synopsis:

source

A Taxi driver, Bhanu ( who was played by: Pankaj Tripathi), who drives Summer (played by Evelyn Edwards) and John (played by Aidan Whytock) to Rajasthan. One day he overhear that the duo looking for a surrogate mother who can deliver their baby by IVF process. They have looking forward for surrogate mother but all the surrogate mother agency who was offer to them, doesn't meet their qualification. So they were keep looking forward to deliver a healthy baby, becomes the go-between in the deal by Bhanu's help.

In other side, there's Mimi, a singer-dancer who's have big dream to become a heroine in Bollywood movies Industry. But for reach her dream, she have to make much money first so she can live wealthy in big city like Mumbai.

One day, Summer and John saw Mimi and want Mimi to be their surrogate mother. Bhanu asked Mimi for being surrogate mother but Bhanu get a slap in the first time he asked Mimi. After that Bhanu elaborated about his mission and Mimi still didn't answer until Bhanu told her about how much money who was offering by John & Summer. Money was swayed her mind. After offered by 20 Lakh, Mimi willing to rent out her womb for John & Summer's baby.

After through all the test to be a surrogate mother, Mimi finally pregnant. But she doesn't want her parent knowing about her addition job. So she is lying and told her parents that she's get a job in Bollywood Industry. Even give much money to make her parent trust her. With the help of her best friend, Shama (played by Sai Tamhankar), Mimi left her home and live as another pregnant mother.

After a few months, the doctor told John & Summer that their baby in Mimi's womb have a problem. Summer can't accepting that their baby have a problem, so they leaving Mimi and their baby without notification.

When I write and remember that scene, I become sad again.

Mimi felt tricked. At that moment all her big dream like disappear and she have to take a responsible to that baby and disappointment of her parents. Everyone know that Mimi is pregnant.

After another lie, Mimi get accepted by social and decided to give deliver the baby in her womb and become a mother.

Nowadays, Surrogacy Was Popular in India

sorce

Talking about the cast, this film is supported by the acting of all the players who are very slick.

Kriti Sanon as Mimi give a powerful character in these movie. The Industries which previously only have male actor as the main character and make an actress just like as decoration was changed. Bollywood movies now have many actress which's can standing alone without the big actor as main character and Kriti was proven it!

Besides Mimi, I really love the character of Bhanu. He has a husband and don't have a child but he have no reason to leaving and betraying his wife. He also never demanding his wife so and so. He is a great husband. And for Mimi, even in worst condition he's never left Mimi and keep taking care about the baby although he wasn't get a payment anymore. He's really great as a person.

Talking about surrogacy, surrogacy was popular in India after a few actor obviously use the surrogate mother to delivered their baby like superstar Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, and many more.

Like what is shown by Mimi movies, there's so many agency who was handle many woman to rent their womb. It's called baby industries.

Even this movie's genre is drama, there's a comic scenes who will make you laugh loudly after crying. It's happened to me too.

This movie is really heartwarming and touchable. You guys have to felt what I felt when I seen Mimi giving delivered a baby. It's make me goosebumps.

›La madredad despierta// Motherhood awakens. Mimi// [Esp-Ing]@damarysvibra1780d

Una película que te deja un buen sabor. Disfruto mucho este género que toma un tema tan serio, de gran contenido social y hace de él una película entre la comedia y el drama que te va llevando a un cuestionamiento profundo. Eso dice mucho de la creatividad del guionista, de las posibilidades del director para llevar todas esas ideas, darle cuerpo y hacerla visible y, por supuesto, de unos artistas que son capaces de expresar sentimientos con tanta intensidad.

Este es el caso de, Mimi, Madre Sustituta, un film hindú del 2021 presentada por Neflix. Un título que de entrada nos dice de que va el asunto así que haré una breve presentación de los de los protagonistas, una síntesis de la trama y luego les daré mi acostumbrado comentario intencionado.

Mimí, escrita por Rohan Shankar y Laxman Utekar quien la dirige. Protagonizada por Kriti Sanon (Mimi, la madre sustituta) y Pankaj Tripathi (Bhanupratap en el papel del taxista), acompañados por un amplio elenco.

La trama

Una pareja estaudinense está buscando una madre sustituta y por razones económicas la buscan en la India, en su búsqueda se consiguen a un taxista, Bhanupratap, que se compromete a conseguirles la mujer indicada. Una noche los lleva a lugar nocturno a cenar y ver un espectáculo. La pareja ve a una joven bailarina (Mimi) es una muchacha alta, esbelta con un cuerpo muy bello, la pareja, enseguida piensan que la bailarina es su modelo ideal, una mujer sana y atlética que puede llevar en su vientre el bebé que ellos desean.

El taxista pone todo su empeño para conseguir que Mimi sea la madre sustituta y lo logra por el dinero que el “trabajo” le reportara y con el cual puede cumplir su sueño de artista. Aceptado el trato, Mimi se hace el tratamiento, recibe parte del dinero y queda embarazada. Sigue la historia, solventando todas las implicaciones del embarazo, cómo el ocultárselo a sus padres y apoyo de su amiga siempre solidaria, el chofer que no se desprende de ella porque se comprometió con los estadounidenses a cuidarla y funge entonces, de esposo de la muchacha.

En una oportunidad que los padres genéticos regresan a la India para saber como va el embarazo se enteran que el bebé viene con dificultades, específicamente con síndrome down, los padres rechazan al niño, que ya tiene una gestación bastante avanzada y con el taxista le envían un mensaje a la muchacha para que aborte.

Allí se despliega todo un drama personal, familiar, social. Para Mimi, tener un hijo que no deseaba y dejar sus sueños era inimaginable pero, tampoco estaba dentro de su mundo hacerse un aborto por lo que decide quedarse con el bebé hasta que nazca y luego vería que hacer. Por supuesto, toda la situación se encuentra envuelta en el drama: la decepción y recriminación de los padres , el chisme del vecindario y un supuesto esposo, el taxista, que no es bien visto por la familia.

Al paso de los años y cuando todos aman a su bebé blanco, los padres biológicos del niño regresan y pretenden llevarse el niño, surgiendo así, un nuevo drama familiar. Al final todo el mundo encuentra una solución perfecta y la historia tiene su final feliz.

Comentario intencionado

La verdad es que hacer un comentario que sea neutral a veces no es fácil, siempre salen a relucir los prejuicios que tenemos, aquello en lo que creemos y sentimos, sin embargo, pensar en la necesidad que tiene el otro y no desde el privilegio que has tenido es lo que llamamos empatía, Mimi nos plantea esta posibilidad a través de la maternidad.

La maternidad es un estado de deseo muy intimo e intenso que al no poder ser cubierto de manera natural la ciencia actual nos propone alternativas válidas, entre ellas, el embarazo subrogado, comúnmente, conocido como vientre en alquiler. Esta técnica ha dado muy buenos resultado haciendo felices a muchos padres pero, como en el caso que nos plantea la película, las cosas no siempre resultan como se planean presentando un problema ético, moral y hasta legal, a tal punto que, en la actualidad, hay países donde ya existe legislación al respecto.

Este es parte del planteamiento y cuestionamiento que nos hace la película. Cuando ese niño que has buscado viene con dificultades, no cubre las “expectativas de la pareja”, ¿qué vas a hacer? La pareja optó por abandonarlo desentenderse de su “creación”. Por otra parte nos muestra otra opción, la joven, que sin ser la madre biológica y sin “deseos maternos”, decide quedarse con el bebé hasta que nazca, con todas las consecuencias que pueda traerle tal situación.

De igual manera se pone de manifiesto el tejido de relaciones humanas y familiares: una abuela que con sus palabras firmes pone fin a una situación: —Deja el drama, tu hija esta embarazada y hay que cuidar de ella— para dar paso a la aceptación y el consentimiento que nace de la sororidad, al igual que la amiga incondicional que ve la posibilidad de ser madre con el niño no deseado y un taxista que se queda porque siente que tiene un compromiso hasta el final con la muchacha, que como ética tiene que: —El pasajero siempre debe llegar a su destino—.

Entre escenas, frases y planteamientos la película nos muestra realidades existentes que, desde diversas ópticas, nos guía la mirada hacia problemas sociales para abrir un espacio de sensibilización hacia ellos, cerrando con una cifra que impacta y conmueve.

Mimi. Surrogate Mother

A film that leaves you with a good taste. I really enjoy this genre that takes such a serious subject, with great social content and makes a film between comedy and drama that takes you to a deep questioning. That says a lot about the creativity of the screenwriter, the possibilities of the director to carry all these ideas, give it body and make it visible and, of course, of some artists who are able to express feelings with such intensity.

This is the case of Mimi, Surrogate Mother, an Indian film from 2021 presented by Netflix. A title that right off the bat tells us what it's all about so I'll make a brief introduction of the main characters, a synthesis of the plot and then I'll give you my usual intentional commentary.

Mimi, written by Rohan Shankar and directed by Laxman Utekar. Starring Kriti Sanon (Mimi, the surrogate mother) and Pankaj Tripathi (Bhanupratap in the role of the cab driver), accompanied by a large cast.

The Plot

A couple from Staudin is looking for a surrogate mother and for economic reasons they look for her in India. In their search they find a cab driver, Bhanupratap, who promises to find them the right woman. One night he takes them to a night spot for dinner and a show. The couple sees a young dancer (Mimi), a tall, slender girl with a very beautiful body. The couple immediately thinks that the dancer is their ideal model, a healthy and athletic woman who can carry the baby they want.

The cab driver puts all his efforts to get Mimi to be the surrogate mother and succeeds for the money that the "job" will bring him and with which he can fulfill his dream of being an artist. The deal is accepted, Mimi gets the treatment, receives part of the money and becomes pregnant. The story goes on, dealing with all the implications of the pregnancy, how to hide it from her parents and the support of her supportive friend, the chauffeur who will not let go of her because he promised the Americans to take care of her and then becomes the girl's husband.

When the genetic parents return to India to find out how the pregnancy is going, they learn that the baby is having difficulties, specifically with Down syndrome, the parents reject the child, who is already quite advanced in gestation, and with the cab driver they send a message to the girl to have an abortion.

There unfolds a personal, family and social drama. For Mimi, having a child she did not want and giving up her dreams was unimaginable, but it was not in her world to have an abortion, so she decides to keep the baby until it is born and then she will see what to do. Of course, the whole situation is wrapped up in drama: the disappointment and recrimination of the parents, the gossip of the neighborhood and a supposed husband, the cab driver, who is not well regarded by the family.

As the years go by and everyone loves their white baby, the child's biological parents return and try to take the child away, thus creating a new family drama. In the end everyone finds a perfect solution and the story has a happy ending.

Intentional commentary

The truth is that sometimes it is not easy to make a neutral commentary, the prejudices we have always come to light, what we believe and feel, however, to think about the need of the other and not from the privilege you have had is what we call empathy, Mimi raises this possibility through motherhood.

Motherhood is a state of very intimate and intense desire that, since it cannot be covered in a natural way, current science proposes valid alternatives, among them, surrogate pregnancy, commonly known as womb for rent. This technique has given very good results making many parents happy but, as in the case presented in the film, things do not always turn out as planned presenting an ethical, moral and even legal problem, to such an extent that, at present, there are countries where there is already legislation in this regard.

This is part of the approach and questioning that the film makes us. When the child you have been looking for comes with difficulties, does not meet the "expectations of the couple", what are you going to do? The couple chooses to abandon him, to disengage themselves from their "creation". On the other hand, it shows us another option, the young woman, who without being the biological mother and without "maternal desires", decides to keep the baby until it is born, with all the consequences that such a situation may bring her.

In the same way, the fabric of human and family relationships becomes evident: a grandmother who with her firm words puts an end to a situation: -Leave the drama, your daughter is pregnant and you have to take care of her- to give way to acceptance and consent born of sorority, just like the unconditional friend who sees the possibility of being a mother with the unwanted child and a cab driver who stays because he feels he has a commitment to the end with the girl and that as ethics he has to: -The passenger must always arrive at his destination-.

Between scenes, phrases and approaches the film shows us existing realities that, from different optics, guide our gaze towards social problems to open a space of sensitization towards them, closing with a figure that impacts and moves.
