Digifilming and Mirrro Films proudly present “Me No Pause Me Play” — India’s first Hindi feature film that dares to talk about menopause, a chapter long overlooked in both cinema and conversation. Set for release on November 28, 2025, the film shines a light on the strength, struggles, and silent stories of women who embrace life beyond change.
Starring Kamya Punjabi, Deepshikha Nagpal, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Aman Verma and Sudha Chandran, the film dives deep into the emotional and physical realities of menopause — portraying not just biological transformation, but a woman’s rediscovery of herself.
Adapted from Manoj Kumar Sharma’s acclaimed book, Me No Pause Me Play is a courageous cinematic leap that blends social relevance with heartfelt storytelling. Directed by Samar K Mukherjee, with a screenplay by Shakeel Qureshi and Manoj Kumar Sharma, and cinematography by Akram Khan, the film is as visually evocative as it is emotionally profound.
Director Samar K Mukherjee remarks, “For generations, menopause has been whispered about in secrecy. With this film, we are breaking that silence — it’s not the end of womanhood, it’s the evolution of it.”
Leading star Kamya Punjabi echoes this sentiment: “This film gives voice to millions of women who go through menopause in silence. It’s raw, real, and deeply personal — a celebration of change, not fear of it.”
The ensemble cast, including Amiee Misobbah and Aman Verma, brings diverse and authentic perspectives on womanhood, aging, and acceptance, creating a tapestry of emotion and empowerment.
By bringing menopause — a universal yet silenced experience — to the forefront of Indian cinema, Me No Pause Me Play stands as a movement for awareness, empathy, and pride. It encourages viewers to see menopause not as a pause, but as a powerful play — a new act in the theatre of life.
