Lover

Heard good things about the film, despite its serious take, and had been looking forward to it and I had to check it out.

Arun (Manikandan) and Divya's (Sri Gouri Priya) have been in a six-year (on-and-off) relationship but have been slowly drifting apart. The entire film is about this divergence.

Usually, you'd expect a soup-boy (if you know, you know) story or an Irugapatru-type film that addresses something different but has a predictable ending. This was....different. Predictable, but I found the topics that this film chose to address to be...not for everyone. And therefore, the film itself, not being for everyone.

Movies about break-ups aren't new but the way they're told have been generic. This one addresses 'drifting away', not being to let go, almost redefines toxicity (stuff that the Boomer generation would scoff at and say "You're leaving your partner over this!? Suck it up!") for this day and age.

Both Manikandan and SGP were really good in this film and so was the supporting cast. Camerawork + Music (Y) but, in my books, not wowing. Writing - best part of the film.

You would have either seen this film unfold in real life around you or perhaps been through the events that transpire. If not, depending on your age demographic and experiences, you're going to either dismiss it or say 'I see where these issues are coming from...doesn't mean they're right...but there seems to be a larger problem. I can sympathize with them both.' Some may even find this therapeutic and gain new understanding, but regardless, this is a heavy film, could be hard to watch in parts, and isn't for everybody. Worth watching still.

This Movie Broke my feelings after many years, with heavy heartedness I'm typing because in some of the scenes i would feel my tears that were hidden inside, felt not like drama that was actually seeing the relationship in front soo surreal i forgot for a while that, that was just a movie that's the way screen play was carried out, the last Bye from Arun and the way crumbles was served at end, Arun character was top notch in graph, Divya charac was best in tolerance, Arun Moms charac made fruitful purpose to the story that arun friend, Divya friends and office colleague are well placed in story with zero fault, Director had taken his best call and made the film in own way of style as he wanted to be, See I'm not forcing you to watch the movie and I don't even care if you had watched and don't like the movie, but to the someone in the corner who is broken and overcoming the love they are committed, hey you watch this will relief you for sure, the ultimate goal of love is to accept to let it go, actual trendset.

"Will you ask your mother to give your father one last chance?" Excellent, well-written drama revolving around a toxic relationship with great performances by the cast and good music. The guy is so toxic and such guys do exist. But the film does not glorify his toxicity and gives us an idea into what led this guy to be so toxic. He doesn't see the error of his behavior even after being called out on it as well as after discussing it with one of her friends and being laughed at. He appears completely different in his memories of their 6 year relationship. His insecurity and over-possessive controlling toxic behavior was giving me a second hand embarrassment. The girl was right about him and his cheap mentality. He himself destroyed the love they had. What an idiot. I loved the ending. These 8 stars are for the rest of the film that follows the line in quotes above.

The movie goes around a couple who were in a relationship for six years.

Good to see #SeanRoldan getting good projects and he's peaking as one of the promising music directors in the industry now. Felt songs and background score are apt to the movie. Had good musical vibe watching in theater. Happy for him.

Director #PrabhuramVyas has good potential as a writer and director.

#gouripriya and #Manikandan acted well. Because of their performance the movie sailed without boring.

I didn't get that depth of a six year's relationship, the director picked couple of random incidents that questions the trust, loyalty, possessiveness , being control freak attitude etc.

Manikandan gets into a gang of boys to consume drugs whereas Gouri too has a gang to freak out with girls + boys.

I kept thinking that director must have kept one or two girls in Manikandan's gang as well if so how Gouri would have taken it.. This layer is missing in the movie.

Overall a decent watch. It made me remember movies like Bachelor, love today - Radhika's advise/guidance to Pradeep when he was on the verge of a breakup is the apt advise for the Gouri - Manikandan pair as well. Could have been a bit more humorous and entertaining.

This movie is focused on the struggle of the relationship of a couple whose honeymoon period of the relationship is long over and now the boy is in a bad mental state and keeps on doing wrong things and yet fails to accept complete responsibility for his actions, play blame game, is emotionally dependent and stuck in his life due to his financial condition and relationships. Whereas the female counterpart takes her time in deciding to get out of the relationship and how.

This man actually needed some help from a mental health expert but the movie makers think that one day such a man can just decide something/ awaken and change his life.
