Pradeep Ranganathan made an impressive debut with the 2019 comedy-drama Comali, starring Jayam Ravi and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead roles. He chose a unique plotline once again and came up with his second outing, Love Today. Apart from directing, he also played the lead hero in it. The film features Ivana as the female lead. Radhika Sarathkumar and Satyaraj played pivotal roles in it. Let's see how it went.

 How Love Today explores the love story of two millennial children, Uthaman (Pradeep) and Nikita (Ivana). Like most modern couples, these couples fall in love and decide to get married without really 'getting to know' each other. rice field. He asked Usaman and Nikita to exchange mobile phones for a day. He says he will agree to this marriage only if he manages to fall in love after exchanging phones. The core of the film is what happens when a couple exchange cell phones.

A unique idea that appeals to this generation of young people. Not only does Pradeep get his thoughts right, but he targets millennials and goes through the entire script. Even his film production style is reminiscent of TikTok videos and Instagram reels. Young people can relate to each scene, such as the scene where the heroine goes out for a night drive with her ex-girlfriend without telling her lover (hero), and the scene where the heroine sends a message to another woman on Instagram.

Pradeep Ranganathan not only excels as a writer and director, he also excels in acting. His man-next-door appearance gives him a lot of work.Ivana is also compelling as a female protagonist. The lead actor's chemistry is his one of the big highlights of this romantic comedy. Satyaraj performs calmly. Radhika was also a good person and most of the time she was used to preaching morals and values.Yogi Babu impresses with her warm-hearted character. Raveena also shines as her Yogi Babu wife.

Love Today's text follows the "pattern" of romantic drama. But Pradeep brings a freshness through his use of script, music and editing. The music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is a great production. It's one of the movie's greatest assets. The production value is great. The film's technical excellence is evident in many scenes, such as the title card and slanted transitions.

The movie may want to be modern at its core, but there's a Boomer-It doesn't look at hero and heroine through the same lens. After all, he's just another "Mommy's Boy" and she's "Daddy's Little Princess". I wish this movie was just one long series of comedy sequences instead of turning into a moral science class like did.
