Love Today (2022) User Reviews

Good Entertainer!!

[sriramthestranger · 9/10 · 4 November 2022]

First, the stand out thing is the character plot of Yogi Babu, and his part of story is much much better than the lead pair. The screenplay and editing is racy and kudos to the Director for showing the virtual conversations in a non-boring and engaging way - as majority of the movie is based on that.

No characters are 'extra' in the film, and everyone including the dog has a great moment. The editing deserves a special mention for the smart use of switching between split and full screen.

Director Pradeep had fully used all his artists and crew to the best potential. And, Yuvan Shankar Raja is the second hero of the movie undoubtedly. Do watch!!

Crazy facts about 2k kids Love

[sankalpoctober · 8/10 · 8 November 2022]

Story & Concept is sooo relatable to present generation lovers. Especially to 2k kids it's a must watch movie. Director came forward with true fact that this is how the present generation love is happening. He showed what's the importance of trust in one's love life. Director made use of each and every artist. Pradeep anna's acting is lit, dialogue delivery, punches were an another level.

When it comes to technical aspects Cinematography, Editing, BGM & Music everything is Dope⚡. Yuvan's music brought more craze to the movie. The online texting & insta Dm's part was shown in a very creative way & made it Engaging.

You will regret it if you don't watch it in theaters. Watch it with your friends it will be more fun.

My ratings for this movie 8.6⭐.

Great movie

[ragavanforever · 8/10 · 4 November 2022]

I have not seen comali the directors previous movie. And i went to see this movie on a whim.

Bot was I in for a treat.

The movie has all the elements for looking into contemporary relationships with a sense of humor.

Pradeep as uthaman rocks every scene he is in and the heroine also gives her best. Sathyaraj and radhika play their characters with maturity and sincerity.

Mobile phones and social networks has brought us all closer but it has also brought out the animal within us by making us anonymous. We do things online like abusing, harassing someone with ease which in reql life we would think twice before doing.

This film brings out this concept succinctly for the current generation.

An enjoyable movie.... For all.

Laughter Garunteed with A Little Message Packed Inside!!

[antonyprabu-76208 · 10/10 · 6 November 2022]

To be honest this movie was not on my list. I have seen the short film years back and I thought there would be nothing much in this movie and I can wait for this movie to be released on an OTT platform. That would have been a serious mistake. 155 minutes of fun ride guaranteed. We were literally on the edge of our seats laughing our hearts out. OMG!! What a Movie. Very good Screenplay and the way Pradeep has developed his short film into a feature film was brilliant. Apart from the fun part there were a lot of take aways for us from the movie. I loved the way they connected the growth of a Tree towards Trust. And Yes, trust is the basic and most important thing when it comes to any relationship and not just love. It's easy to trust a person who is all good with zero flaws. Unfortunately, there is no one in this world without any flaws. We should have an open mind to trust each other and accept them with their differences and flaws. All of us are vulnerable towards something in our life, rather than feeling bad or guilty about it we could work on it towards becoming a better person day by day. If someone leaves you because of a mistake that you have made in your life, Don't feel bad.. It's about whether you confessed with them about it and even after that if they choose to move on, don't hold them back, let them go. They might need time to process everything to get back to you or they might not. Just heal yourself and move on. Again, on the other hand, if someone has taken advantage of your kindness, trust and even after you being honest about your flaws and the mistakes you have done and still if they decide to leave you, Don't hold them back.. Trust me!! It's Hard!! But embrace the pain and move on with a smile. Everyone has the right to make their own choices in life. Sometimes, you might not even know the reason why they left you behind for someone else.. Maybe it's for their own good or any reason. Just Let Go!! You continue to be who you are and someday your life will change too. The person who is meant for you will come to you. If a person really loves you they will stay in your life no matter what, love you more and help you to become a better person in Life. The Others will move towards what's good and best for them. Just wish them the best with whatever choices they have made for them and you fill yourself with positive vibes and surround yourself with people who have similar thoughts. Think Good!! Be Good!! Avalothaan.

Future of kollywood! Pradeep ranganathan

[revinsworld · 10/10 · 4 November 2022]

This movie shows the power of writing, even from small body language to complex emotional scenes, the way he took the film forward with his creativity and screen presence is simply amazing, there is not a single minute you will be bored, every element has been handled with care.cinematography and editing were the big pros of the film they were simply extraordinary. This film should be a reminder for all that even if it is a simple plot, you can satisfy the audience by how you visualise it and deliver it.yogi babu and sathyaraj has lived the character. Kudos to the team for a delivering such a hilarious, heartwarming and eye opening film.

A top-class concept is here to thrash all the mediocre modern love stories. This is how today's love is, and you'll find realism in it.

[SAMTHEBESTEST · 7/10 · 23 November 2022]

Love Today (2022) : Brief Review -

A top-class concept is here to thrash all the mediocre modern love stories. This is how today's love is, and you'll find realism in it. Love Today is totally today's concept for a love story as we see a wannabe couple swap phones for a day, which opens many secrets. It's a hilarious film throughout and also tries to be a little sensible at the end. It only lacks one thing, and that's intellectualism. The way it tries too hard to make love win at the end is too mainstream and predictable. Of course, not every film can have mic drop endings like Casablanca or Brief Encounter, but let's say we are 7 decades ahead now, so at least we should feel ashamed of that. One more thing is that the film missed a big chance of becoming a modern lesson for sons and daughters who never listen to their parents when they ask them not to use phones so much. On the personal side, when I see lovers talking to each other on the phone, like for a full day (including my own brother), I always tell myself, "How can two people talk so much on the same topics every day?" How are you, had your lunch, what you ate, will bunk classes to meet you, all these things and what not. You spend almost half the day doing this talk on the phone with some stranger whom you've known for a few months, but have you ever spent even 10% of that time asking the same things to your mother or father, with whom you've been living for years? In one scene, Love Today had a chance to shed some light on this thought but missed. That conversation between our hero and his mother could have become a memorable scene with these thoughts, or one more that he should have listened to his mother when she told her not to use the phone so much, and now he realises that a mother is never wrong. Anyway, it's a fantastic film with plenty of laughs and relatable scenes from your own life, so enjoy it. Please note that my phone is always open to anybody for a thorough check. I am that clean!

RATING - 7/10*

Best Film on Love

[saru2020 · 10/10 · 15 November 2022]

One of the best films ever made, easily the best film of the year.

A must-watch for current-day lovers, especially for the about to get married couples.

This is one of those peculiar films which cannot be contained/categorized into a specific genre as it covers a wide variety of areas like love, life, lust, porn, modern love, tech (Climaxed with AI), trust, relationships, philosophy, comedy, current socio-economic conditions, childhood, adulthood, friendship, sisterhood, parenting, etc.

Overall, a very nicely packaged well-made presentation.

IMO, this is probably the first movie where the emotional arc of the film keeps on rising till the very end like a line drawn at a 45-degree angle on a graph/chart. An emotional roller coaster ride in the climax might bring tears if you're an emotional person.

It slightly feels like an SJ Suryah's 2022 film.

All actors did play their roles very well, it just felt so natural which gravitates us into their world automagically.

U1's songs & BGM did their magic making the soul of the film.

It is undoubtedly a must-watch if you like watching films, it'd be worth your time & money for sure.

Funny indeed, but not as insightful! [+58%]

[arungeorge13 · 6/10 · 19 November 2022]

Love Today is a 155-minute long meme on romances in the social media era. When it's funny, it's laugh-your-guts-out funny. When it's not, it's trying to be a bit messagey - to forego the temporary flailings of the mind, not to give up but to trust and keep going. I'm not sure I dug either of the leads all that much - they're painted with the typical, committed pasanga tropes of the current generation yet hard to get behind. The performances by the leads (Pradeep Ranganathan and Ivana) are also okayish.

Ranganathan has a bunch of ideas and he wants every scene to look meme-ish but it works only when he's conceptualizing them inventively (like the "Instagram episode") and not simply sticking to the expository male gaze. Yeah, the script is obviously a lot more forgiving towards Pradeep than it is to Nikita - which could also be one of the reasons it worked with larger crowds. Nonetheless, it is miles ahead of Ranganathan's previous venture Comali. Yogi Babu also gets a meaningful role after a while, and he aces it. Others like Sathyaraj and Raadhika pitch in when necessary. Yuvan's music effectively drives the humorous and earnest moments.

Engaging Rom Com

[vibhus-17780 · 8/10 · 6 November 2022]

A well written hilarious RomCom with hard hitting message for current gen . Pradeep Ranganathan as writer chose an interesting plot and gave his best in screenplay . Especially portion between Yogi Babu and Raveena ( subplot ) was impressive . Characterisation for each and every character was well designed . Comedy was totally hilarious and relatable , after a long time enjoyed a complete laugh riot . Comparing to Comali , the way Pradeep tried to convey the message in Love today was good and hard hitting . Technical wise editing and music were back bone to the movie . Way they handled the editing gave a unique tone to the movie and helps to grab complete attention from audience . Undoubtedly Yuvan is the 2nd hero of the movie . Overall a complete entertaining RomCom especially targeted for youngsters . Must watch 💯 .

A decent but slightly cringey rom-com.

[akhil027 · 6/10 · 21 November 2022]

The story was pretty obvious from the trailer. A couple has to exchange their phones for a day to get her father's approval. Things get intriguing once they start going through each other's phones.

It's entertaining most of the time. But the casting went wrong. The male lead tries to imitate Dhanush but doesn't have his charm. Ivana is beautiful but can't pull off emotional scenes. Yogi Babu is a good actor and his part was good most of the times but rhe ending felt too preachy.

Movie's cringe meter goes up every now and then and peaks during the climax. The boy planting the seed is shown as something so huge and it couldn't make the impact which the makers intended.

The story deserved better dialogues and better actors.

Desperate attempt to look and act like Dhanush!

[vivekupadhyay-62630 · 3/10 · 19 January 2023]

Only saving grace of the film were the supporting cast, be it actors mom and friends or actresses father. I actually thought there might be a reason about that boy shown peeing in the agni kund fire while the ceremony was going on I still did not understand what was the need to show the little boy doing that in the agni kund during the wedding ceremony (uncalled for) as it was just there without any use of it. The movie is Mostly predictable and keeps getting stretched for no important reason. Also annoying part is the actor who time and again after every frame acts like Dhanush and is in literally every other scene of the movie.

Simple and Elegant

[karthijagacool · 10/10 · 14 November 2022]

This movie based on what the love is going on today for our youngsters and what are the social media trending as well as... This is one of the unpredictable scenes and good climax with lots of message and emotional... Each and every scenes are good to watch and the response are very high... The debutant hero as act relastic and overcome with his face reactions... The music are too good #u1 and the other casts are simply awesome... Value for money and it's a very much theatrical film which would like to enjoy together with your friends gang... Will say the movie of 2022 honestly... Love today that all loves movie....

Love Today (2022). What an experience after a very long time!

[sureshsubash0711 · 9/10 · 8 November 2022]

The film takes such a complex subject and handles it in a mature and entertaining manner. The screenplay ensures that the plot is kept racy and fun, brilliant acting keeps you glued to the screen, and the clever writing demonstrates the sense of complexity that resolves around trust and relationships. The conclusion delivers a hard-hitting, emotional, but totally non-preachy lesson that is a must-watch.

'Ennai Vittu' song is easily one of the best of U1 that would just melt your heart. Go listen to it.

Sure, some parts are still over the top. It is not perfect, but it feels complete. It is not a feel-good film but a film that makes you see the good. It is not an art film, but it is a film that showcases what it is to be a man and woman in a world full of distractions and overwhelmed by the emotions we experience daily.

THE BEST of 2022! Yenna padam-da samy!

Great Commercial Entertainer for 2K Kids!

[personalacc-87247 · 8/10 · 5 November 2022]

Love Today is an example of if the film is good it can gain good support from public. It's definitely one of the best commercial entertainer of 2022. Movie is filled with good content. Remarkable screenplay and duration.

At first I thought why would this guy wanna act all of a sudden, but after watching this film I realised that no one else could do this role since Kollywood doesn't have young heroes to represent this kinda roles. Dhanush would suit for this film but he's too big for the role since he's a big star now.

Great performance by Pradeep and Ivanna, good music by U1, GREAT cinematography.

Overall: a great commercial entertainer with a social message.

8/10 Do not miss this one in theatres!

Not bad eventho typical love story

[jeykanthgov · 6/10 · 9 December 2022]

Story flow is engaging. A bit draggier but it's okay to watch one time. The story is not bad eventho it is a typical love story. The hero role actor did his best i think but a bit overacting made me bored and not really impressive. Heroine role actress and the sister of hero role did good job. Actor sathyaraj and Actress Rathiga did fabulous performance. Actor yogibabu as usual. Dialogues in the movie are really engaging and up to the trend. Director narrated the story in an engaging way and it entertained me. In my point of view, this movie isn't a theatrical standard but definitely a OTT standard. I hope the director can come up with different genre movies to entertain audience. I already watched his first movie titled Comali and that was engaging too. All the best.

Hilarious - Heart Warming ❤❤❤

[ma-67110 · 10/10 · 9 November 2022]

I didn't expected this fun filled rom-com movie from Pradeep ranganathan... The movie is so realistic and fun to watch.... Must watch movie for today's generation.... PR won the hearts ❤ Not a single scene is Non-relevent to movie... Yogi babu, raveena combo hits hard ❤ actress Ivana did great job, technically well built and fresh to watch, radhika sarathkumar - Sathyaraj did thier work at its best, it shows their experience in cinema field, each and every scene is interesting and 1st half was super. Funny and after 20 min 2nd half movie gets serious and emotional which connect every set of audience loved this movie ❤❤❤

Not the best but one of its own kind

[rsip-24247 · 7/10 · 4 November 2022]

Ove today (2022) Director: Pradeep Ranganathan This movie starts off at slow pace but takes a huge turn as it goes forward the movie starts with a happy couple who want to get married but the condition laid by the father of the girl (Satyaraj) is a demand to exchange phones of the couple for a day and if they don't have have any objection the next day the father is more than happy to marry his daughter to pradeep this is the plot of the movie which sounds quite simple has it seems on the screen but what makes it so good and entertaining is the hilarious way pradeep has driven the plot which attracts most of the youngsters out there this is a movie based on every person who is a teenager and till they get married and start a life the movie talks about a serious subject in a hilarious way towards the end which makes it more enjoyable it is not like never seen before but this movie is one of its own kind not the best but a good entertainer.

Things which didn't work for me is a scene where the father (Satyaraj) holds pradeep's feet and puts it down it was made with a motive to make it hilarious but i didn't actually find the purpose of that and the conversation between the couples at the beginning of the movie was quite very uncomfortable and more of the screenplay is a bit predictable but you go with the flow the movie and start enjoying it

Hence this is pradeep's 2nd work after Comali and he has not disappointed his set of audience

A feel good one time watch but totally different from Comali..

Totally A Different Scope Of Cinema

[aashiqd-12495 · 10/10 · 12 November 2022]

The Movie "Love Today" is a complete entertainer and beyond that. You can laugh, smile, cry, and totally enjoy the film to core and most importantly you will learn so many things in which your perspective on things will change for sure. Director Pradeep Ranganathan has done a really great and enthusiastic job throughout the film by not only directing but also in writing, screenplay, as a lyricist and also the lead of the film he nailed it throughout the entire film. I challenge you that you that you'll definitely relate yourself in some of the scenes from this film where you can definitely see yourself. And the casting of the film is totally new but they all did their part very sincerely which stood as the backbone of the film. The film gradually delivered many beautiful messages from the beginning. LOVE TODAY is What Love is Today.

It's nice. Give it a watch

[gangeshgnair · 7/10 · 22 November 2022]

The movie was good. Although the things in the movie may feel random and stylised to cater to the young audience, the movie has a really good screenplay structure. In its own way it had stakes involved. The stakes got higher at each point. Had a good character arc for the main lead. Makes us completely involved in the story. I really liked the way they concluded yogi babus character, it made my eyes wet for a few seconds. I never thought I would ever cry watching a fun filled movie like this. Pradeep ranganathan was good, ivana, raveena ravi, yogi babu, satyaraj all were good. Yuvans songs were nice. Pradeep really is successful as a writer. Many scenes were staged nicely. We get a lot of laughs in many places.

One issue I had in the movie is that a few normal scenes were just tried to be elevated with loud music, and pradeeps reaction to some stuff he discovers about ivana in the first half felt a little too much.

Solid one time watch movie.

a movie which is dumb and still enjoyable

[tzqdkbnj · 3/10 · 3 December 2022]

The script got some dumb things going around with comedy injected towards serious topics, many dialogues against sl ut shaming and body shaming while the same movie got some scenes glorifying the same.this movie contains really sex ist scenes where actions from the male protagonist is shown to be okay and the same thing from the female character is criticised. Well you can just go and enjoy the film but i felt really triggered and the whole thing was cringy for me. Well my friends too really enjoyed The film. The whole thing didn't worked for me except the acting from Yogi Babu which kinda drove me emotionally.

Entertainment at its best

[adhil-67126 · 10/10 · 26 November 2022]

Its a full entertainment package..its been a while since i laughed so hard watching a movie...i watched on tv with my family, thats the problem...i couldn't laugh for most of the jokes..all were jokes with pun(double meaning)..loved the way its shot...after watching it was i came to know that it was from the movie comali's director .no wonder why its so frikin good and entertaining...Fresh concept, intresting movie..2 hour 30 mins?.. didn't feel like that..i watched it without taking my eyes off..its a lesson for todays love, obviously thats why its named as love today... Expecting more movies like this from the director..the hero is so good and acts so well.. Resembles dhanush.

Realistic Movie

[selvachni · 9/10 · 10 November 2022]

First - hearty wishes to director for one of its kind and natural movie.

Director proved that with good direction and screenplay no need of fancy hero and heroine.

Only second half slightly lengthy, other wise movie shows realistic life of today's love.

Gudos to director for his confidence level for acting as Hero, he proved his acting capacity In some scenes it was clearly visible that only director's acting will match.

Yogi Babu's character and his acting totally different from his regular stereotypes actions.

No dance, no fight, proven to tamil cinema that this type also a good movie can be taken.

Congrats director and team, keep it up.
