Ever feel like you genuinely know someone? Isn't there always a part of ourselves that we keep hidden from the world? Any relationship must be built on trust, which is also what keeps a romantic one together. But how much do you really want to believe? Perhaps you know your spouse a little too well. However, there is always a desire to learn more, which can occasionally border on misplaced trust. Aren't we all victims of ignorance in the era of smartphones? In Pradeep Ranganathan's novel Love Today, this desire to know more manifests as a dramatic plot aspect. Nevertheless, I fervently contend that his short film, on which this movie is based, was the superior one.

Regarding the former, I had stated in my review that Comali had a crazy idea that required both better writing and staging. The writing is sloppy, which is matched by Pradeep's clever technique for drawing laughter out of mundane situations.Love Today is entertaining to watch when it gets going, which is in the first half, and is supported by an upbeat score by Yuvan Shankar Raja. This movie serves as an illustration of formless scripting that is punctuated by a variety of sequences that are so absurd that you end up enjoying them. Even the prose
