Talking about the significance of cinema in reflecting the harsh realities of society, director Samar K Mukherjee said, “Cinema has the power to reflect society’s truths — and the truth is, menopause is real, painful, and ignored.

The writer and producer of “Me No Pause Me Play”, Manoj Kumar Sharma shared, “As a writer, I always believed stories can heal, stories can liberate. Menopause is not just a medical phase — it’s a deeply emotional and psychological journey that women go through silently. Through this film, I want to give them a voice, a sense of belonging, and a reason to be proud of their strength. Me No Pause Me Play is a tribute to every woman who has lived through pain without ever demanding recognition.”
