Madhuri Dixit Nene has been ruling the roost for more than three decades in B-town now. She has seen and acted in myriad films but there's one actress whose work Mads appreciated. Not just that the moving performance of this Bollywood babe and the poignant story of her film got Madhuri all teary-eyed. Yes, we are talking about Rani Mukerji's Hichki. Here's what Madhuri had to say about the movie.
"Hichki is a moving and heart-warming film helmed by a brilliant story with a wonderful cast. A strong content driven film, very well directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and of course another stupendous performance by Rani. Kudos to Team @yrf," she wrote on Instagram. Earlier on Thursday, Madhuri Dixit Nene broke down after watching Hichki, or so did say a statement from Yash Raj Films. In Hichki, Rani plays Naina, who has Tourette Syndrome - a disorder, which leads one to make involuntary sounds and movements.
Not just Madhuri on the list of movie-goers on Thursday there were A-listers such as Rekha, Karan Johar, Sushmita Sen and Shilpa Shetty amongst the other in attendance.. Karan tweeted his review too."Hichki is a feel good and extremely sensitive film... addresses a disorder with dignity and strength. Rani Mukerji is the soul and life of this film! She is absolutely brilliant!!!! And reminds you of her exceptional talent again!"
