One of the biggest hit films in Tamil this year is Love Today, which was released in theatres on November 5. The movie, which opened to unanimous positive response from critics and the audience, surprised the trade with its box office performance.
The project, bankrolled by AGS Entertainment, is said to have grossed more than 70 crores, and opened to decent numbers in Telugu states, too, after the dubbed version was released there a week ago. On its OTT premiere today on Netflix, we bring you five reasons to watch and enjoy the movie with your dear ones.
Entertaining screenplay
The USP of the rom-com is its taut screenplay which has adequate romantic scenes between the lead actors, relatable emotions and light-hearted episodes which are enough to keep viewers hooked. There isn't any single scene which tests your patience or leaves you exhausted. The movie is a roller-coaster ride from the word go. Pradeep, who has also helmed the film, has ensured that every sequence has a surprise for the audience in one way or another.
Striking chemistry between Pradeep and Ivana
The film marks Pradeep's second outing as a filmmaker and debut as a lead actor. Though Ivana was seen earlier in two films, her character in Love Today is a stark contrast to her previous roles. Their chemistry is one of the highlights of the movie, and the two actors have garnered a lot of fans overnight. The conflict between their characters, who are a young couple, forms the movie's crux. Their frequent quarrels, misunderstandings and special moments are sure to leave the audience in awe.
Yuvan Shankar Raja's effective background score
It's after a long time that the talented music director has delivered a fantastic score, in addition to a couple of chartbuster songs. The theme of the film is something which Yuvan is capable of elevating with his magical tunes. The peppy number Saachitale, melody Ennai Vittu and quirky track Pacha Elai are instant hits among music lovers and fans of Yuvan. It is his splendid score which has lent the required effect for crucial sequences.
Convincing performances from character artists
Love Today is one of the recent best examples in Kollywood in terms of how a bevy of talented character artists could lift a well-written script. The expertise of veteran actors like Sathyaraj and Radhika Sarathkumar is evident in all the scenes they appear in. While Raveena Ravi and Yogi Babu impress with their riveting performances, the likes of Aajeedh Khalique, Adithya Kathir, Finally Bharath and Akshaya Udayakumar bring the house down.
Instant connect with 2K kids
One Tamil movie which drew young audiences to theatres after a long time is Love Today. It's been a while since the college-going students and other teenage audience has had a blast in theatres with their special ones and friends gang. The film's theme, which dealt with the insecurities of a young couple in their early 20s, struck a chord with the 2K kids. The movie's making style, vibrant frames and stylish editing pattern, too, appealed to the young crowd.
