Digifilm & Mirrro Films and Digital Dreams Creation’s Me No Pause Me Play (UA) is about women navigating life’s transitions — rediscovering their strength, redefining their identity beyond age and accepting menopause.
Manoj Kumar Sharma’s story is neither heartfelt nor engaging or inspiring. Shakeel Qureshi and Manoj Kumar Sharma’s screenplay turns out to be quite boring and hardly has an impact on the viewers. The drama progresses without involving the audience. For that matter, even womenfolk will not feel elevated after watching the drama about women unfold. The dialogues, penned by Shakeel Qureshi and Manoj Kumar Sharma, are so-so.
Kamya Punjabi acts naturally. Deepshikha Nagpal does a fair job. Manoj Kumar Sharma is average. Aman Verma makes his presence felt. Arham Abbasi is ordinary. Karan Singh Chhabra has his moments. Amlee Misobbah is passable. Indu Solanki, Kajal Sharma, Stuti Goyal, Shanaya Viz, Mannu Malik, Kamaal Malik and Kanwalpreet Singh pass muster. Sudha Chandran leaves a mark.
Samar K. Mukherjee’s direction, limited as it is by the unexciting script, leaves the audience unaffected. Music (Santosh Puri, Shivang Mathur and Amritanshu Dutta) is functional. Lyrics (Santosh Puri and Shayra Apoorva) are okay. Song picturisations (by Firoz Khan Shaikh and Deepak Sawan) are nothing to shout about. Shivang Mathur and Pritom Dutta’s background music is weak. Akram Khan’s camerawork is average. Rishabh Chakrawarti’s art direction is okay. Sameer Shaikh and Mohd. Suhel’s editing is loose.
On the whole, Me No Pause Me Play is a dull fare.
Released on 28-11-’25 at Movie Time Goregaon (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru First Film Studios LLP. Publicity & opening: poor. …….Also released all over. Opening was weak everywhere.
