Rani Mukerji's
Hichki has already earned a lot of love from her colleagues, who have every nice to say to say about it. Celebrities like Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Sushmita Sen, Shilpa Shetty and
Urmila Matondkar have enjoyed special screenings of the movie ahead of its release and shared their reviews on social media. Aamir Khan, Rani's co-star of
Ghulam, watched the film just a day before release and reviewed it as "one of the most enjoyable films". "Great story, amazing perfomances! Superb film," he added.
Mr Kapoor was one of the first to post his review on Twitter. In a tweet directly addressed to Rani, he wrote: "Watched Hichki last night and absolutely loved it! The whole team has done an exceptional job especially the kids and Neeraj Kabi! And Rani you are my new favourite teacher! Your performance has left me speechless!"
Karan Johar, who has directed Rani in films such as
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, said
Hichki will indeed make you nostalgic about school and that Rani is "the soul and life of this film." With
Hichki, Rani makes a comeback after four years and plays a teacher named Naina, who suffers from Tourette Syndrome - a disorder, which leads one to make involuntary sounds and movements. In Naina's case, she utters "chuck, chuck" as she speaks.
Madhuri Dixit,
who reportedly got teary eyed while watching Hichki, Instagrammed to say: "Hichki is a moving and heart-warming film helmed by a brilliant story with a wonderful cast. A strong content driven film, very well directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and of course another stupendous performance by Rani. Kudos to Team Yash Raj Films."
Shilpa Shetty gave Rani a shout out for her "splendid and flawless performance" while Sushmita Sen said
Hichki "is a must watch with a box of tissues." This is what Urmila wrote: "Congratulations dearest Rani on yet another superlative performance."
