Menopause. It’s a phase every woman goes through, yet it remains one of the least discussed topics in our homes. Many women face physical and emotional changes during this time, often feeling confused, isolated, or misunderstood. To bring this important conversation into the mainstream, cinema is stepping forward with a powerful message.
Releasing on November 28 is the Hindi feature film “Me-No-Pause-Me-Play.” This film aims to portray the journey of menopause with honesty, warmth and sensitivity. Presented by Digifilming and Miro Films, the film has been written by Manoj Kumar Sharma, adapted from his own book, and produced by him as well. His vision forms the backbone of the film, giving it both authenticity and depth.
“Me-No-Pause-Me-Play” blends light comedy with real-life emotions, making the subject approachable for every viewer. The film shows that menopause is not a sign of weakness or an ending. It is a natural stage of life that deserves understanding, dignity and support. The story highlights how empathy from family members can transform this phase into a more comfortable and positive experience for women.
The movie features a strong cast, including Kamiya Punjabi, Deepshikha Nagpal, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Aman Verma, Sudha Chandran and Amemi Subah. Their performances bring honesty and heart to the screen. Kamiya Punjabi shared that the film gives voice to every woman who goes through these silent changes but rarely gets the space to express them.
The film also emphasizes the role of relationships. It shows how a woman’s emotional well-being during menopause can be deeply affected by the understanding—or the lack of it—she receives from her family. It highlights how simple awareness and emotional support can make this journey smoother.
“Me-No-Pause-Me-Play” is more than entertainment. It’s an effort to start a conversation that is long overdue. It encourages society to replace silence with awareness and stigma with acceptance.
The film releases in theatres on November 28. Viewers are encouraged to watch it with their families and friends so that this important message reaches every home.
