film
gets
positive

After
a
gap
of
4
years,
Rani
Mukerji
is
back
on
the
silver
screen
with
Siddharth
P.
Malhotra's
Hichki.
The
film
has
the
actress
playing
the
role
of
Naina
Mathur,
a
teacher
suffering
from
Tourette's
syndrome
who's
entrusted
the
task
of
teaching
a
bunch
of
rebellious
underprivileged
teenagers.
Earlier
while
speaking
about
the
film,
Rani
had
said,
"First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
say
this
(Tourette's
syndrome)
isn't
a
subject
but
a
part
of
many
lives.
The
people
who
suffer
from
the
syndrome
are
challenged
in
every
part
of
their
lives.
During
research
for
the
role,
I
met
many
kids
who
suffered
from
it
and
their
parents,
they
haven't
been
able
to
come
out
properly
in
India."
"If
you
look
at
America,
where
there
are
stand
up
comedians,
who
step
forward
and
took
their
'turrets' in
their
act,
in
their
comic
format.
So
now
when
we
start
talking
about
it
in
India,
I
am
sure
lot
more
people
will
come
forward
and
talk
about
their
experience,"
she
had
added.
Hichki
which
hit
the
theatrical
screens
yesterday
has
been
receiving
positive
word-of-mouth
from
all
corners
and
has
also
earned
a
thumbs
up
from
the
critics.

Reportedly,

India
opened
on
a
dull
note
but
later
picked

business

On
the
other
hand,

still

the

of
Hichki.
