Yeah, your code needs to add 'additional-headers'. but before, you must know that the second argument of mail() function is a subject. You can't a HTML code in subject.

Your program would send a message in plain-text mode not in HTML.

Add this additional header and try again.

<?
$to='mandar@freeos.com';

$subject = "Hi 🙂";

$body='<body>Hi i am mandar</body>';

$add_header = "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; // your mail client will recognize that this mail is HTML type.

$add_header .= "From: FLUTIA <neowinny@nownuri.net>\n";

mail( $to, $subject, $body, $add_header );
?>
