The direction of Mathukutty Xavier is straightforward and effective. The second half is devoted to Mili being trapped in the freezing room.

The first half is slow, and the director takes far too long before arriving at the main theme of the protagonist being trapped in the freezer.

Janhvi Kapoor gives yet another outstanding performance. She doesn't say much in the second half, but watch how she pulls off the difficult act.

Sunny Kaushal is endearing and excels in the second half. Manoj Pahwa plays a pivotal role and steals the show.

The remake floats between a single father-daughter saga and a survival drama, and it works better as the former.

Janhvi appears to be selecting scripts that will centre on her, giving her ample opportunity to demonstrate her acting abilities.

Mathukutty Xavier recreated Helen scene by scene with Mili. The elements that worked in the original aren't as effective in the remake.
