Mimi bagged two awards, Kriti Sanon won the Best Actress award, which was shared with Alia Bhatt for Gangubai Kathiawadi, while Pankaj Tripathi won Best Supporting Actor and Nikhil Mahajan won Best Director for Godavari.
Mimi, a comedy-drama starring Kriti Sanon, directed by Laxman Utekar, produced by Jio Studios and Maddock Films.

Pankaj Tripathi, Sai Tamhankar, Manoj Pahwa, Supriya Pathak, Evelyn Edwards and Aidan Whytock appear in supporting roles.
The story of Godavari is about one such family in Old Nashik. Nishikant Deshmukh is a young man who has a negative outlook on life as he is compelled to take charge of his ancestral business. Nishikant is separated from his family due to the unknowing effect of constant irritation, quarrels, and unhappiness on his close ones and relationships.
