Mili Movierulz: In the current generation of star kids working in Hindi cinema, if anyone among the actresses has really taken their work seriously, it is Janhvi Kapoor. It is not easy to act one after the other in female-oriented films at the very beginning of the career and keep on doing better than the previous film every time. At the age of 25, it is a big deal to pull the audience to watch first ‘Gunjan Saxena The Kargil Girl’ then ‘Goodluck Jerry’, and now ‘Mili’ in her name alone.
Janhvi’s performance in her first film ‘Dhadak’ also impressed people. And, in the film ‘Mili’, Janhvi has taken her performance a notch higher and has bettered her own work. If one carefully tries to understand the DNA of Janhvi’s films, she has been presenting herself on screen as a self-sufficient young woman who becomes an inspiration to any one of the crores of young women, then her artistry is successful.
Career’s third remake
The film ‘Mili‘ is the third remake film of Janhvi’s career. In this remake of the Malayalam film ‘Helen’, Miley’s attempt is to move to Canada to pursue her life as a nurse. Father is of today’s era. Gives the daughter the sky to fly. He just has some weaknesses of his own, which probably every father has. Where her job is, one day due to human error, she gets locked in the deepest freezer (a roomy fridge inside which the whole person goes and keeps the goods).
Everything is closed. His voice, no one to hear his plea. Here Miley’s struggle is going on to keep herself alive, while the new world is fighting with the old people outside. Even in the 22nd year of the 21st century, if the thinking of the police of the country has not changed, then it is not the lack of uniform color of their uniform, the lack is the thinking behind doing their police job.
Janhvi Kapoor is the hero of the film ‘Mili’. The rest are supporting actors. Janhvi rightly says that she has gotten the benefit of being Sridevi’s daughter as she was supposed to get, now it is her turn to test her skills. In this test, Janhvi passed with honors in the film ‘Mili’. One has to appreciate that the character Janhvi gets, she easily drenches herself in her complexion.
Soon after the film starts, Janhvi stops appearing on the screen and this is the biggest victory of her acting. Miley’s character is not easy. His struggle is like that of a person trapped in a thin crack in a snowy mountain. The struggle of a man trapped alone in adversity to keep himself alive has been a favorite subject of cinema. Janhvi’s name has also been included in the artists who have left their mark in such films.
Unnecessary extension of the script
Usually, I try to watch his original films before watching remake films but this time I decided to watch Helen after watching Mili. And, this decision was also right. The film ‘Mili’ is twenty-one from ‘Helen’ in every sense and it is also a window on what should be specially taken care of while making a remake.
Ritesh Shah has done the Hindi adaptation of an already-written film very well, the only problem with Ritesh’s writing is that he is not used to saying things in small words. The film’s director Mathukutty might not have walked Xavier here in front of the film’s producer Boney Kapoor as he might not have been in favor of spreading the film unnecessarily. Mathukutty made his debut in Hindi cinema by remaking his own film and has been successful in impressing the audience.
Supporting cast disappointed
The biggest weakness of the film ‘Mili’ is its supporting cast. Replacing Sunny Kaushal could have added to the freshness of the film. Sunny Kaushal has direct access to filmmakers because of her father, stunt director Sham Kaushal, and that’s why it doesn’t look right to cast her in such a role.
Sunny failed to fulfill the requirement of this character. The same is the case with the characters of Vikram Kochhar, Manoj Pahwa, and Sanjay Suri. All three have just finished cooking. Yes, the performances of Anurag Arora and Hasleen Kaur impress, and both of them lend decent support to the films.
AR Rahman’s music on the slopes
The most amazing work in the technical team is in the make-up department of the film. It is a very challenging task to show the changing form of a living girl who is changing in the snow throughout the film in such a way that people really see it happening. Art direction is also good. Seeing the film, it does not seem that the shooting inside the deep freezer is being done on any set.
Sunil Karthikeyan’s cinematography has also helped a lot in this work. The film is weak in terms of music. AR Rahman once again failed to create the music of his name. Seeing Javed Akhtar’s name as a lyricist, the songs of the film were also expected, but he has probably lived his best creative time.
