#MiliReview shocked beyond belief #JanhviKapoor is a power house of acting.
Top notch screenplay and direction, bone chilling sequences, the underlying emotional core plot made it a powerful film. #ManojPahwa is good as usual.

#Mili is purely performance driven. #JanhviKapoor aces her act. She has evolved as an actor & the process continues with every film, highly commendable. The location, setting, everything is aligned. #ManojPahwa & #SunnyKaushal, both are first rate! Highly convincing. #MiliReview pic.twitter.com/Cp0U3kbAso
