Feel-good entertainer

Mili (Amala Paul) is an insecure, lonely girl who has a lot of issues as she lacks confidence, right from her schooldays. The sad state of affairs at home and the hatred shown by her roommates at a hostel doesn't help things much. Mili works as an inspirational movie and portrays the coming of age of a young girl. The film has its heart at the right place. It could be a nice way to spend about two hours at the cinemas.(more)

A simple and familiar tale well executed

The expectations from the Rajeesh Pillai stable have been quite high, after the thrilling �Traffic�. But �Mili� is an entirely different offering. Its simplicity and realism is laudable though some may find it slow and much too uncinematic in terms of the usual loud and thrilling sequences.(more)

Mili reserves its best for the climax, which makes you applaud for the mere thought that took shape as this touching, simple film. It's a delightful watch for families, a must for parents.

A 'plain Jane turns cool' tale is given a facelift and unfolds as Mili. Rajesh Pillai's film is a sincere attempt to lay bare the plight of many browbeaten youngsters in this 'be-a-topper-or-live-pointless' era. They evolve as spiritless adults weighed down by expectations, while all they simply needed were shoulders of support and a bit of hand-holding. The tale holds a mirror to this commonplace phenomenon around us. (more)
