==Plot==
Mili Nair ([[Amala Paul]]) is an introvert who is very depressed. Her self-affectation and inferiority complex puts off everyone. Nobody likes her character or even attempts to help her. Mili chooses to rise above the challenges and take back the reins of her life. Her transformation and learning to deal with her emotions forms the crux of the movie. Meanwhile, there is Naveen ([[Nivin Pauly]]), a soft-skills trainer who becomes a support for Mili.
