Mili FIRST Review: Janhvi Kapoor stars in the survival thriller Mili, which is all set to release on November 4.

After impressing the fans in the OTT release Good Luck Jerry, which premiered earlier this year, there will be high hopes from Mili all while the box office pressure is on the makers and the cast.

Mili First review: How good is the film?  

Mili has a different storyline than fans are used to seeing in Bollywood. The film has been screened abroad for the censor board and Umair Sandhu shared his first review of Mili on social media on Tuesday. He has praised lead actress Janhvi's performance on whose shoulder the film is resting. If the film is indeed good, Janhvi will have proved that she can lead the film on her own and that is a welcome sign for the producers and her fans. Umair also called Mili a 'chilling thriller'. 

Umair wrote about Mili, "Wow ! What a Chilling Thriller #Mili !!! Loved it ! #JanhviKapoor is in Terrific form (sic)."
