Playing the lead opposite newcomer Rudra, Mithila has brought a quirky, grounded charm to her character, delivering what fans are calling a “refreshing and natural” portrayal of a modern Tamil woman.
Directed by Krishnakumar Ramakumar (popularly known as Five Star Krishna), Oho Enthan Baby is a lighthearted romantic drama that explores the quirks of urban love and the complexity of relationships in today’s fast-paced world.

A Pan-India Talent in the Making
Having already carved a niche in the digital entertainment space with hits like Little Things and Karwaan, Mithila’s move into Tamil cinema marks a significant expansion of her pan-Indian appeal. She joins a growing group of young actors who are breaking regional boundaries and speaking directly to India’s diverse audience.
What makes her Tamil debut even more impressive is her commitment to embracing the language and culture. From diction to expressions, Mithila seamlessly blends into her role, showing no signs of discomfort in what is traditionally a tightly-knit and linguistically specific industry.
From ‘Oho Enthan Baby’ to Telugu Originals
The success of Oho Enthan Baby is only the beginning for Mithila’s multilingual journey. Up next, she stars in Netflix’s first-ever Telugu original series ‘Super Subbu’ opposite Sundeep Kishan, marking her Telugu debut. This back-to-back regional expansion signals Mithila’s versatility and hunger to explore challenging, culturally rich roles beyond her comfort zone.
Industry watchers note that Mithila’s trajectory closely mirrors the new-age actor’s dream — free from language constraints, rich in diverse characters, and driven by storytelling. As one fan rightly summarized, “She’s not just a performer. She’s a storyteller who speaks to all of India.”
Rudra’s Debut Also Shines
While Mithila’s performance is stealing hearts, her co-star Rudra, also making his Tamil debut, has impressed audiences with his understated and endearing portrayal. Together, their chemistry forms the backbone of the film, giving Oho Enthan Baby its sweetness and emotional pull.
The Verdict
With her Tamil debut, Mithila Palkar has silenced any doubts about her range as an actress. She has not only won over Tamil audiences but also proven that language is no barrier when talent meets intent. Oho Enthan Baby is more than just a romantic film — it’s a symbolic milestone in Mithila’s rising journey across Indian cinema.
As the actress continues to diversify her portfolio, fans can’t wait to see where she lands next — be it in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, or even global stages. For now, though, Mithila’s refreshing Tamil debut is a win worth celebrating.
