Rani Mukerji’s new film Hichki had a special screening in Mumbai on Thursday, and Bollywood’s Dhak-Dhak girl Madhuri Dixit, who watched the film at the special screening, shared her review of the movie on Instagram.
Here is what Madhuri Dixit has to say on Instagram, “Hichki is a moving and heart-warming film helmed by a brilliant story with a wonderful cast. A strong content driven film, very well directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and of course another stupendous performance by Rani. Kudos to Team @yrf.”
Here’s what Madhuri Dixit Instagrammed:
According to a statement from Yash Raj Films, Madhuri Dixit broke down after watching Hichki. In the film, Rani’s role plays the role of Naina, who has Tourette Syndrome – a disorder, which leads one to make involuntary sounds and movements. In Naina’s case, she utters “chuck, chuck” as she speaks.
Along with Madhuri, the movie-goers on the list were Rekha, Karan Johar, Sushmita Sen and her children, Khushi and Boney Kapoor and Shilpa Shetty. Karan tweeted his review on Friday morning and said: “Hichki is a feel good and extremely sensitive film… addresses a disorder with dignity and strength. Rani Mukerji is the soul and life of this film! She is absolutely brilliant!!!! And reminds you of her exceptional talent again!”
