The teaser begins with Mili cutting rolls of duct tape as she shivers inside the freezer. In the background, a police radio can be heard informing the force that someone (presumably Mili) has been missing for four hours. We see the first glimpse of Janhvi’s face, reddened by the extreme cold as she struggles to not just stay alive, but also maintain her wits in the extreme cold. The teaser gives brief glimpses of her co-stars Sunny Kaushal and Manoj Pahwa, both worried about Mili’s whereabouts. At one point, the temperature of the freezer is shown to be negative 16 degree Celsius. The teaser ends with a cut shot of Mili, from before she got trapped in the freezer, opening her fridge to take out a packet of milk.

Mili is a survival thriller film directed by Mathukutty Xavier, a remake of his own Malayalam film Helen (2019). Produced by Boney Kapoor, the screenplay is by Ritesh Shah. The film is scheduled to release on November 4, 2022.

Fans looked impressed by Janhvi’s portrayal of the hapless Mili in the teaser. One commented, “This looks very amazing!!! Her expressions are just too good…her film choices are amazing!!!” Many said that they were looking forward to the film despite having watched the original earlier. One comment read, “I know it’s a remake but Ï am so excited.” Another fan wrote, “Really hoping that the movie turns out to be as good as the teaser.
