Plot

The film follows the story of Viraj, a single father, and his 6-year-old daughter Mahi. Mahi suffers from Cystic Fibrosis and is curious about her mother. After a road accident, Viraj had to tell about his late wife's story to Mahi and this changes everything between the three characters and raises questions about the connection between Viraj and Yashna, a woman who saves Mahi's life.


Acting

The performances in 'Hi Nanna' are stellar. Nani, Mrunal Thakur, and Baby Kiara Khanna deliver brilliant performances. Nani portrays the role of Viraj, a single father fighting for his daughter, with flawlessness. Mrunal Thakur shines as Yashna, portraying a complicated character with brilliance. Baby Kiara Khanna steals the show with her adorable and effortless portrayal of Mahi.


Cinematography

The film is visually stunning, with beautiful and romantic frames shot in Mumbai, Coonoor, and Goa. Sanu Varghese's cinematography adds depth and enhances the emotional aspect of the film.


Direction

Debutant director Shouryuv impresses with his directional skills in 'Hi Nanna'. He effectively sets up the characters and takes the audience on an emotional rollercoaster. The pacing of the film may feel slow for some viewers, but it allows the audience to immerse themselves in the world of the film.
