Shabaash Mithu (2022)

If you are a feminist you'd love the movie but unfortunately Ain't the one Well as a neutral straight male it's very difficult to watch her movies to attract feminists as her core audience she is is now obliged and forced to deliver men hating dialogues in her films, in the name of showing mirror to us straight men she delivers hate with no story, poor direction and pathetic script. Why she can not simply work on a great story and not rely on sexist remarks on men's integrity to sell tickets, there is nothing in the story whatsoever ever, better save your money chaps.

Fmovies: The same old tradional bio graphy with anti hindu, anti national tapsee. Even as per review by pratik borade the movie is not fact based. Acting of tapsee is pathetic.

Successful Biopics has tragedy or unprecedented struggle or both #ShabaashMithu lacks any of these. Although film is inspiring in a way it shows Mithali Raj's contribution in uplifting women cricket and making it famous in India it feels the film holds the negatives of her life.

The moments of best friend leaving, family opposing,coach's death, team's struggle all are not properly explored, neither a high point in her life is shown through a special match or any event. Lack of romance in the film is also a negative. Taapsee's performance is only saver.

We have seen in movies about Dhoni, Milkha Singh,etc that they concocted certain things or event to make film more appealing so that audience can attach to it. Any such efforts are lacking in it.

Shabaash Mithu fmovies. Mithali Raj deserved a better actor to portray her role and better director to convey the story. Seeing Taapsi Pannu makes you wonder what qualifies her as an actor. The story and acting could have been done so much better but everything has been thrown into drain.

Mithali Raj is an champion and she deserves so much more.

How can one make such a good movie/biopic that i feel happy to give one star... Bollywood doesn't have any new story, so they go for either biopic or remake...

Shabaash Mithu (2022) : Movie Review -

Taapsee Pannu is known for her female-centric films, and the latest addition to the list is Mithali Raj's biopic, "Shabaash Mithu." Cricket may be a religion in India, but mind you, we don't have any blockbuster films made on cricket in Bollywood. Even the last big films like "Jersey" and "83" didn't do well at the box office. Srijit Mukherji's sports biographical is a little different and surely an important film for the encouragement of women in sports in our country, but the cinematic value is below par. The film struggles to play on the front foot and makes the game damn boring.

The film follows the life of Mithali Raj (Taapsee Pannu), the Captain of the Indian Women's Cricket Team, from childhood to the World Cup Final. Shabaash Mithu takes off in 1990, when little bindass girl Noorie meets little dance lover Mithali, and they form a bond of close friendship. Noorie begins playing gully cricket with Mithali for fun, but a cricket coach, Bhatia (Vijay Raaz), notices talent in the small Mithu. There begins the journey of Mithu's illustrious cricket career and the struggle to bring equality to Indian women's cricket. Like Mithali's dreams, the script of Shabaash Mithu also struggles, but unlike Mithali's dreams, it fails to find success. Priya Aven's writing looks incomplete and immature on many occasions, especially in the screenplay. There are many scenes where you notice blunders, and it hurts more when you realise that you are watching a film based on true events. Cinematic liberty is not an issue here, but the way it has been used is definitely one of the biggest faults.

Taapsee Pannu doesn't look like Mithali Raj except for the blue jersey scenes from the matches. Taapsee looks like Taapsee, and while she does a good job as Taapsee, that's not what we asked for, is it? Nothing matches Mithali's delivery, accent, or expressions. At least that's how it looks most of the time, but the people who have seen a lot of Mithali Raj on TV, be it interviews, matches, or any commercial appearance, will be able to judge better. Ostensibly, Taapsee's portrayal of Mithu just doesn't look congenial. Vijay Raaz as coach may sound unrealistic in a few scenes, but the rest of the time, he picks the right words. There is a big cast of players, and all have done pretty okay jobs.

In terms of technical aspects, Shabaash Mithu is a poorly executed sports drama. The cricket scenes are either shot destitutely or have been merged into each other after seeing spiteful footage. You don't see a single cricket shot that looks complete. I mean, even that live cricket match coverage is much better than this edited and rehearsed action. The final 20 minutes of World Cup matches provide good visuals, though. The music is also disappointing as far as the audio is concerned. However, the situational values are kept intact. Sirsha Ray's camera work captures a couple of beautiful frames, but otherwise it's a strictly average show. Speaking of editing, Shabaash Mithu has got as long of a runtime as a T20 match. I hope you'll be able to sit in the stands until this long match is over.

Srijit Mukherji is still looking for that break in the Hindi film industry. He made a below-average film like "Begum Jaan," and his most recent social hunt, "Sherdil," wasn't any good either. Now he adds another underwhelming film to his Hindi filmography with Shabaash Mi
