“Shabaash Mithu” is a biographical sports drama that traces the journey of Mithali Raj, former captain of India’s women’s national cricket team. From her childhood dreams and early struggles (gender bias, limited support) to her rise through domestic cricket, international challenges, leading India to the final of the 2017 Women’s Cricket World Cup, the film portrays her perseverance, sacrifices, and moments of glory. It also reflects on the broader story of women in cricket in India—how they had to fight to be heard, seen and respected. Taapsee Pannu plays Mithali (“Mithu”) and the film aims to inspire by showing how grit and passion can make history.
