Mili has probably played the best in her short acting carrer. At least the success of Monpura is the evidence of that. As Pori is the central character of the Monpura, so the success of it has to do with the perfect acting of Pori or Mili. And this is what is agreed upon by the director and the audience. How does the actress feel when her first movie was realized? Mili smile a bit, listening to this question. As if somewhat different feeling is lying hidden, inside her smile. Afterwards she said,” Its inexplicable through speech.

A mysterious experience, of course a good one. It feels that all the hopes and aspiration are in that feeling. If I say it feels good only, it will never express my entire feeling. I can only feel this in my heart. And I believe those who have already watched or be watching this movie can share my feeling.” On listening to the question, how did you feel when you saw yourself in the big screen? Mili said,”When the footage of Monpura came from Chennai, I could not believe that it’s me.” Lot of people said the character of Pori has superseded strongly over Farhana Mili. And this issue has stirred me a lot.
On the very first day when Monpura was released Mili watched the movie in three different halls. She watched the entire movie sitting in a normal rear stall gallery. I was trying to watch the movie attentively. But every time my attention was shifting to the audience’s eyes. How they are taking it and what was their reaction? Everybody was very nervous in our unit; this is how she described her experience in the cine-halls. The total unit along with me was very surprised to see the audience reception. At last, we understood that we really did something. The audiences at Balaka enjoyed the movie, we heard praising from everybody. Lot of well wishers wished through phone.

Coming to the Star Cineplex, I saw it was also housefull. And appreciations were coming out of the Star Cineplex, I went to the Obhishar Cinema Hall; I was surprised looking at the long queue at the ticket counter. The thing which I have enjoyed the most is that…despite the difference of the audience of Cineplex and Obhishar, interestingly all of them accepted the movie in the same way. And it means Monpura is a movie which will appeal to all classes of audience. This is how Mili described ger feelings and experience to Stardom.
“Monpura” is successful. Now what is next?” smiling Mili says,” I got the reward of my long hard work and patience. Now give me a break for a few days. Actually I don’t want to go with the main stream. I only want, what I will do, the audience should enjoy. I don’t want to do many movies. But what I will do, it will be a whole hearted effort. and of course I need blessings from every of my viewers.
