A film that awaken something within

New Delhi: (By Punjab Screen Special//Entertainment Desk)::

There are films that entertain, and then there are films that awaken something within.

“Me No Pause Me Play” belongs to the latter, a film that speaks to every woman who has ever been told her time has passed.

Directed by Samar K. Mukherjee and inspired by Manoj Kumar Sharma’s heartfelt book, the film explores menopause not as an end, but as the rebirth of strength, grace, and identity. It is a cinematic poem that celebrates a woman’s right to evolve, to pause, and to begin again unapologetically.

The story weaves together moments of vulnerability and power, silence and rediscovery.

It reminds audiences that menopause is not about losing youth but about finding a deeper rhythm  one that beats with wisdom and freedom.

Featuring stellar performances by Kamya Punjabi, Deepshikha Nagpal, and Manoj Kumar Sharma, the film also stars Aman Verma, Karan Singh Chhabra, and Amy Misobbah in pivotal roles.

Dance icon Sudha Chandran delivers a breathtaking performance; her dance becomes the language of resilience and rebirth, a metaphor for every woman who learns to dance again after the world calls her still.

The film’s soul-stirring title track, voiced by the legendary Usha Uthup, echoes empowerment, rhythm, and the ageless beauty of courage.

Written by Manoj Kumar Sharma and Shakeel Qureshi, the screenplay flows like a diary of emotions raw, real, and deeply human.

As the world still hesitates to talk about menopause, “Me No Pause Me Play” steps forward with compassion, art, and courage.

It is not merely a film  it is a movement, a mirror, and a message that says:

“When life hits pause, true courage lies in pressing play.”

The film will have its world premiere on 28th November 2025, marking a historic moment in Indian cinema a film that doesn’t just tell a story but heals through it.
