Storyline
Mithali Raj's extraordinary journey from gifted child cricketer to captain of the Indian women's team is brought to life with the grit and heart the sport deserves. Directed by Srijit Mukherji, this biographical drama captures not just the stadium triumphs but the quieter battles — against institutional bias, societal expectations, and the grinding weight of being a pioneer. Taapsee Pannu channels Mithali's fierce resolve in a story that speaks to every Indian girl who dared to dream in a language the establishment hadn't yet learned to understand.
“Her bat wrote history. Her spirit changed the game.”
