Love Today (2022) Movie : Artists, Technicians Review

Love Today story penned by Pradeep Uttaman is all about youngsters in love and how their relationship gets affected due to electronic gadgets. Pradeep Uttaman turned his book (App)A App into a film on celluloid. Pradeep Ranganathan starts the narration in a normal manner with the boy falling in love and then trying to convince her father. Though the story offers nothing new, he generated enough humor with his dialogue and screenplay. However, over-dependence on just humor resulted in a message which could have been sent in a powerful manner. The story has a lot of loopholes and even the screenplay. After the entertaining start with to some extent racy narration in the first half, Pradeep Ranganathan loses steam in the second half and it slowly drags at a snail's pace to the climax.

But with seasoned actors like Sathyaraj, Radhika Sarathkumar, and Yogi Babu, many scenes got elevated. There are few cuss dialogues and body shaming scenes and Pradeep Ranganathan could have avoided it as they acted as speed breakers in what could have been a clean entertainer.

Pradeep Ranganathan tried his best to impress as an actor. To some extent he is fine but he has to work a lot to get his emotions and expressions right. Ivana performed well and attracted with her glamor. She is good in the climax. Sathyaraj elevated the scenes with his natural and realistic performance. Radhika Sarathkumar played the role of a typical mother. Yogi Babu managed to evoke a few laughs. Others performed according to their roles.

Dinesh Purushothaman's cinematography is good and added value to the film. Yuvan Shankar Raja's music is ok and BGM is fine. The editing of Pradeep E. Ragav is ok but could have been better as there are few repetitive scenes. Production values are good. Dil Raju's judgement should be complimented as it turned out to be right. The film with youthful, romantic and hilarious entertaining elements is proving to be a gold mine as people are enjoying the scenes on the screen in theatres.
