Hi Nanna

"Hi Nanna" (2023) is a Telugu-language family drama from India you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Shouryuv. The title is what six-year-old Mahi says every morning to the father who has built his whole world around her — and the question she keeps asking is about the mother she has never met.

Viraj (Nani) is a fashion photographer in Hyderabad, a single parent who knows how to make his daughter laugh and doesn't know how to explain where her mother went. When Mahi runs away with her dog Pluto to find her own answers, a chance encounter with a woman named Yashna (Mrunal Thakur) pulls back everything Viraj buried. At 155 minutes the film is unhurried, and deliberately so — Shouryuv wants the audience to care before he asks them to hurt. Baby Kiara Khanna as Mahi is the film's quiet engine; every scene between her and Nani lands clean. Stream "Hi Nanna" (2023) online on iFILM.
