After the hype around the first-look posters and teaser of the much-awaited upcoming Hindi film Mili starring Janhvi Kapoor was unveiled, the trailer of the film was dropped on Sunday, October 16, 2022. The film is slated to have a theatrical release on November 4, 2022.

Produced by Boney Kapoor, Mili is the official Hindi remake of the 2019 Malayalam film Helen directed by Mathukutty Xavier, which has also been remade into Tamil, titled Anbirkinyal. Helen stars Anan Ben in the lead role along with Lal, Noble Babu Thomas, Aju Varghese, Rony David, and Binu Pappu in pivotal roles. The original Malayalam film won two National Film Awards – Best Debut Film of a Director and Best Make-up Artist (Ranjith Ambady). In the film, Helen works at a Chicken Hub where she is later locked inside the freezer by mistake and has to survive -18 degrees. During the struggles to get out, she fractures her leg, gets frostbite, and bleeds through her nose. She is finally rescued after five hours and taken to the hospital right before she was about to reach the last stage of hypothermia.

The actor shared the two-minute 20 seconds trailer video on social media and asked the audience to watch a glimpse of “Mili’s challenging take of survival!” The trailer begins with Mili introducing herself. She lives with her father and there are glimpses of her boyfriend (played by Sunny Kaushal). Mili Naudiyal is a 24-years-old graduate of Bachelor of Science in Nursing who works a part-time job at a chicken centre in a city mall. In the trailer, while she scolds her father for secretly smoking in the bathroom, her father also sulks about her leaving town for her higher studies soon.

Mili’s life changes within an evening as she gets stuck inside a freezer of the chicken centre and her face turns red due to the cold. She is seen rubbing her hands, banging the walls, fighting, struggling, and not leaving any stone unturned to get herself out of the place. While her father, her boyfriend and the police search everywhere in the city and look for clues to find the reason for her going missing all of a sudden.
