Kriti Sanon and Pankaj Tripathi won big at the 69th National Film Awards which were declared at the National Media Center, New Delhi, on Thursday. They were honoured with the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor awards for the film, Mimi. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film premiered on Netflix on July 26, 2021. 

Mimi received a thumbs-up from the audience upon its release. However, did you know it was a remake of the 2011 Marathi film, Mala Aai Vhhaychy? Interestingly, the film directed by Samruoddhi Porey also has a National Award connection. Mala Aai Vhhaychy was conferred with the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Marathi in 2011. Before Mimi, it was remade in Telugu as Welcome Obama in 2013.
