The last time, Rajesh Pillai enchanted me with his captivating thriller Traffic; so I was eagerly awaiting for his next film...He was the only reason I watched this movie, and I do not regret that decision; this time he has come back with an entirely different movie..The story of the development of a shy girl into a grown woman. A subject I believe that no other Malayalam movie has touched upon so far. And he has taken that subject into his hand, a good script that is all; even though he has taken that script also into his heart and gave it his vision; his unique vision that is evident throughout this movie. If ever there is a director's movie, Mili is that. Every frame exudes the creativity of a genius. He turned what could have been an overly melodramatic film (I hate melodrama) in many a directors' hands into one of the best Malayalam movies of 2015.
The only comparable aspect to Rajesh Pillai in this movie is Amala Paul's performance as the title character Mili. She has done more than justice to her role. After seeing her performance in Indian Pranayakatha, this role again speaks volumes of her acting. She is a very good actress. The director really got the subtle emotions he wanted from his lead role. Brilliant Amala Paul...keep it up.
Another thing to say is about the really good music and the beautiful lyrics...I should say the music formed the spine of the movie.
The performance of the supporting cast was superb as well. I can identify no fault with this movie.. This is a confidence-inspiring feel-good movie. Go and watch it.
