Shabaash Mithu
Taapsee Pannu’s sports drama based on the life of former India women’s cricket team captain Mithali Raj was released in cinemas on 15th July, and the reactions to the film are mixed. Netizens have shared their opinion about the movie on Twitter.
Some netizens have called it an inspiring story that will help the development of women’s cricket in the country. Fans have also praised Taapsee Pannu for her commitment and dedication to the role.
Meanwhile, the film received some criticisms on various aspects like the screenplay and average camerawork that held the movie back. Fans felt the film was long and failed to execute the cricketing aspect. There are also users who found Pannu a ‘misfit’ for the role.
After 10 days of its release, the film only managed to collect 2.60 crores at the box office. The film is an absolute non-performer as it is one of the lowest commercial earners of 2022.

I don't know why #Bollywood is ruining the legends of the game by taking stars who are not worthy.#TaapseePannu movie destroyed the hardwork and efforts of #MithaliRaj
And #ParineetiChopra ruined the legend like #SainaNehwal Biopic. #Bollywood is destroyer.— Ankur Y Sharma (@AnkurYSharma) July 15, 2022

Tapsee Pannu's #ShabaashMithu earned massive ~₹4000 just on 8th day of release. Hight time she uses the money to buy some islands & shift there with 20 crore others, away from this fascist country.

This movie collected Rs 4280 pan India today.
Being conservative take Rs 100 for a movie ticket.
It means 42.8 people watched this movie in India today.
I recommend these 42.8 people for Gallantry award. ?#ShabaashMithu https://t.co/E4vM83A3aU— राहुल (@rahulpassi) July 23, 2022
hey @taapsee u know what, there were 9457385 articles on how disastrous was #dhakad, even after months they told me how someone has sold his properties due to failure of it, but nobody is talking about zero audience for #ShabaashMithu, that's the power of #ecosystem that backs u
