Set in a small Maharashtrian town, the story tracks an unlikely trio of narrative energies—local humour, medical reform, and political hesitation. Bhau (Prathamesh Parab) and Chochya (Prithvik Pratap), two easy-going property brokers, become accidental participants in a larger community churn when Dr. Amruta Deshmukh (Ankita Lande) arrives with a plan to open a fertility clinic. Her medical perspective collides with inherited stigma, triggering suspicion, gossip, and organised resistance. The film captures this clash not as a debate, but as lived reality—messy, emotional, and often unfair.
Khan’s script places women at the centre of the conflict. Their decisions around surrogacy are framed within economic necessity, personal agency, and the heavy cost of social judgment. The tension heightens when MLA Sanjay Tatya Bhosale (Ganesh Yadav) privately considers surrogacy for his own household, adding political optics, secrecy, and personal contradiction to the storyline. The film consistently shows how public morality often changes tone when tested at home.
Performances
Prathamesh Parab leads with natural ease, carrying humour and emotional weight without tonal disruption.
Ankita Lande delivers a controlled, thoughtful performance, shaping Dr. Amruta as firm but not formulaic.
Ganesh Yadav plays the MLA with calibrated duality—authoritative in public, conflicted in private.
Prithvik Pratap keeps the comic moments believable rather than caricatured.
Supporting actors Sujata Mogal and Vijay Patwardhan give texture to the town’s social environment, making it feel observed, not staged.
Writing & Direction
The film’s first half is paced like a small-town chronicle, letting characters establish themselves before the conflict arrives. The second half shifts into moral and personal dilemmas, handled effectively though the climax tilts more toward domestic drama than issue-led resolution. Still, the emotional stakes remain intact, largely due to the performances and the film’s refusal to oversimplify its subject.
Overall
With a 3.5/5 rating, Mamta Child Factory works less as a subject explainer and more as a character study of belief, pressure, choice, and contradiction. It opens a conversation around surrogacy, not by selling a stance, but by showing the cost of having one.
A socially relevant drama that uses humour and politics as context, but keeps human choice as its headline.
