Plot
Mili is a motivational film about Mili, an introvert girl who is very depressed. But she finds it in herself to think of her nadir as but a stepping stone to success. She chooses to rise above the challenges and take back the reins of her life.
Nivin Pauly plays the role of Naveen, a soft skills trainer who becomes a pillar of support for Mili. Praveena plays the role of Nancy, who is sort of a mentor-cum-sounding board for the youngster as she struggles to get a grip on life. She finally get over with all her difficulties.
