Mili

Mili

Mili Naudiyal is a B. Sc Nursing graduate and attends IELTS coaching classes intended for a job abroad, specifically Canada. She works part-time at a restaurant named Doon's Kitchen, located within a plush mall. Mili lives with her father Niranjan Naudiyal, who is against her going to Canada. Unknown to Niranjan, Mili has a boyfriend Sameer Kumar, who also disagrees with her Canada plans. One night, while Sameer is taking Mili home by scooter, they are stopped by police who penalise him for drunk driving and not wearing a helmet, and they are brought to the police station. Niranjan gets called into the station as well, and is extremely upset with seeing his daughter with a boy who has committed a crime. He does not talk to her for days. Mili also ends all contact with Sameer. He shows up to her workplace to try and reconcile, but is shut down by Mili. One night after work, Mili is asked by her co-workers to put some boxes in the storage freezer before she leaves. As she is doing so, she is accidentally locked inside by her manager, Sudheer Malkoti, thinking that no one is inside the restaurant. As the temperature slowly decreases, eventually reaching -18 °C, Mili has to survive in the freezing cold temperature. She tries to block the exhaust fan but ends up dislocating her leg. She starts to get frostbite. Niranjan starts getting worried that Mili has not reached home as it is getting late. He searches for Mili with the help of his neighbour.
