"Milan" is not just another film, as it delves into various social issues while advocating for women's empowerment. Director Pathak believes this film will pave the way for establishing the film industry in Mithila, providing employment opportunities for local youths and attracting tourists with its picturesque locations.

The lead actor Sanjeev Mishra says, " The film ' Milan ' illuminates the indomitable spirit of women and the imperative of their empowerment.

"Through our narrative, we confront the entrenched injustice of our society, raising the question of why blameless women should bear the burden of archaic customs", says Mishra

He further says, "Residing within Mithila's embrace, endowed me with an intimate understanding of its culture, lifestyle, and traditions, which also enabled me to do justice to my character and performance"

The heartwrenching tale of "Milan" delves into the life of a newlywed woman who is thrust into widowhood on the very cusp of marital bliss as her husband meets an untimely demise on "suhagraat".

The lead actress Megha Saxena has played her role perfectly and is getting profuse appreciation from the viewers.

Mishra questions the rationale behind depriving women of life's joys, following her widowhood, rooted in archaic mores.In essence, Milan transcends the confines of celluloid, serving as a clarion call for all stakeholders for deep introspection and progress.

The entire shooting of "Milan" took place in various locations across Mithila, including the university campus in Darbhanga, the banks of the Ganga river near Simariya Ghat in Barauni, Begusarai city, and several villages and ghats in Darbhanga district.

What makes "Milan" special is its ensemble cast, with actors predominantly hailing from Mithila. Sanjeev Poonam Mishra, the lead actor from Darbhanga district's Ramoli village, expresses high hopes for the film's success. Madhubani district's Sagar Jha, portraying the comedic role of Naurangi, and Vipin Kumar Jha, playing the role of the lead actor's father, add depth to the narrative
