'Hichki' receives a standing ovation at the Shanghai International Film Festival

After performing well on the Indian box office, Rani Mukerji starrer “Hichki” went on to receive a standing ovation at the Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF).

Calling it an honour, Siddharth shared the news on his Twitter handle along with some images of the film’s screening at the festival. He captioned it: “What an honour and an overwhelming feeling when your work gets a standing ovation from a foreign audience who simply watches a film with subtitles and gets moved to tears/laughter.

“Thank you Shanghai SIFF 2018 at the festival for this experience, from the entire team of Hichki.”

In “Hichki”, Rani Mukerji plays the role of a woman who deals with Tourette syndrome but goes on to become a teacher.

It was screened as part of The Belt and Road Week at the film festival on June 16.
