We Rate: ⭐⭐⭐⭐4/5


"Hi Nanna" ventures into the heartfelt story of Viraj (Nani), a devoted single father to his young daughter, Mahii (Baby Kaira Khanna). Concealing the truth about Mahii's mother, Viraj imposes a condition for revealing her identity, setting a high bar for his daughter. When circumstances lead Mahii to Yashna (Mrunal Thakur), their lives take an unexpected turn.


The film shines with a compelling storyline that delves deep into emotions and family dynamics. Mrunal Thakur's portrayal breathes life into the movie, showcasing her remarkable talent. Shouryuv's directorial debut impressively navigates emotional sequences, complemented by well-executed twists.


Nani effortlessly embodies the role of Viraj, delivering a heartwarming performance, especially in poignant moments. His chemistry with Mrunal Thakur adds a special charm to the film. Baby Kiara Khanna is delightful in her role, sharing heartwarming scenes with the leads.


Despite a slow start in the romantic subplot and pacing issues, the film gains momentum post the pre-interval sequences. However, it might resonate more with certain audiences over others due to its storytelling approach.


The technical aspects shine through Hesham Abdul Wahab's music and Sanu John Varghese's stunning visuals, though the editing could have been tighter. Shouryuv's direction, while commendable, could benefit from tighter pacing and sharper execution.


Overall, "Hi Nanna" is a decent family drama offering heartfelt moments and commendable performances. While it may not appeal universally due to its pacing and presentation, it stands out for its touching storyline and impressive music. For those fond of emotional dramas, it's a worthwhile watch this weekend.
