Cinema continues to explore the theme of surrogacy, the trauma of childless couples, the joy of parenthood, and the impact on the surrogates.

Kriti Sanon`s `Mimi` is about a woman who agrees to be a surrogate mother to a childless couple belonging to a foreign land. The trailer dropped yesterday and the leading lady has stated multiple times how this has been a validating experience for her as an actor. The theme isn`t new, the genre isn`t fresh, but Sanon attempts a character that`s likely to challenge her oeuvre so far.
Cinema has been exploring this theme for long, very long. One of the earlier films was Lekh Tandon`s `Doosri Dulhan`, where Shabana Azmi played the second woman in the marriage. The title could easily be misinterpreted and the viewers could be misinformed about the film dealing with infidelity, but here, the name indicates a surrogate mother who brings a ray of hope in the life of a couple unable to bear children.
