Shabaash Mithu Ending Explained

"Shabaash Mithu" brings our focus to the frequently neglected Indian Women's Cricket Team and the greatness of Mithali Raj. Recently, I recall seeing our Women in Blue at the Commonwealth Games with my cousins at a family get-together, something that would not have been as regular had cricketers such as Mithali Raj not struggled for the visibility and rights of women in Indian cricket. Srijit Mukherji's third Hindi directorial endeavour after "Begum Jaan" and "Sherdil" is average in its production.

While I value that the film decided to not indulge in Mithali Raj's personal life and kept it solely cricket, "Shabaash Mithu" is too dull and restraining at times. A portion of the motion picture's loveliest minutes are when young Mithu figures out how to play cricket with her tomboy friend, Noorie.

Shabaash Mithu Story

Mithali Dorai Raj, who hails from a Tamil family in Hyderabad, stumbled upon cricket through a friend named Noorie when she was still very young. Despite having to overcome a lot of obstacles, she eventually took on the responsibility of captaining Team India and made the women's cricket team renowned.

The Indian Women's Cricket Team, under the leadership of Mithali Raj, made it to the World Cup finals twice. The movie concentrated solely on the 2017 World Cup, in which India narrowly lost to England. Mithali cautioned her team before the first match that it might be their last chance to participate in the World Cup, and they needed to go all out. Their excellent display of the game stunned many who never presumed that women could play cricket.

Mithali decided to demonstrate her skill rather than simply talking about it, and was able to silence her most intense critics with her batting. During a time when she was considering quitting cricket, she was reunited with her childhood friend Noorie. After a number of years, Noorie asked her to play for all the women who did not get the chance to pursue their dreams. Noorie watched her friend take part in the World Cup with great enthusiasm and optimism, knowing that even though she could never play, she was able to motivate her friend to accomplish her ambition.

After losing the game against England, the team left the airport with a heavy heart. However, they were welcomed by the press and fans, something they had only previously imagined but never thought would come true. They were overwhelmed by the fondness and backing of their nation. Even though they did not win the cup, they still managed to make India proud.

After they returned to the academy, a group of young girls came running to them, requesting their autographs. Mithali and her team were able to show little girls that they could dream of becoming cricketers, something that was once laughed at. At one time, Mithali had gone to Sukumari for support when she visited the academy in her prime years, and now she was an inspiration to thousands more.

The women were eventually given the respect they were striving for. The battle for equal rights still continues, however Mithali Raj made a path for the future female cricketers to follow. One of the most remarkable moments from the movie was when the women were required to urinate in the open due to the lack of a bathroom at the match venue. As they clustered behind the bush, they saw the men in blue featured in an advertisement. This illustrates the condition of the women's cricket team contrasted to the celebrated men's team.

"Shabaash Mithu" is a milestone in recognizing women in cricket. Despite the prevalence of sports that can be monetized and the lack of recognition, female athletes still strive to succeed and make their mark. During the Commonwealth Games, Pooja Gehlot's video of her in tears after winning a bronze medal went viral, and it showed her apologizing to her nation for not bringing home gold. I think women have to work harder to prove their worth in sports than men do, as they are often seen as an unnecessary expense and disregard their importance. Women have the right to dream, and we can only make those dreams come true if we create a world that is more understanding and accepting.
