Lover

"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.

This entire movie appears candid n realistic. The first half of the story revolves around complexities in 6 yrs relationship n the second half about the breakup n the process of trying to get a closure. The last 20 mins climax is indeed appealing. In most of the relationships around us, one starts thinking it's responsibility of the other to keep me happy but in reality nobody would take that responsibility which is rather more like getting the other burdened n that's when both let each other down n start suffocating. May be rather relationship should be about companionship where there is mutual respect n an ease of comfort to be with each other being devoid of dependency. Also sometimes breakups are inevitable n better than making going tough for both everyday. Unfortunately breakups are the toughest n most painful thing one can ever go through n only one who has gone through can vouch for it. Available in all South Indian languages along with Hindi in Disney Hotstar. My ratings 7/10!

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.

As an avid movie watcher, I was eager to watch "Lover" (2024), streaming on Disney+ Hotstar and available in 5 languages. Directed by Prabhuram Vyas and starring Manikandan, Sri Gouri Priya, Kanna Ravi, Geetha Kailasam, Harish Kumar, and Saravanan, "Lover" tells the story of Arun and Divya, a couple whose drastically different personalities are connected by their fondness for each other. Dating each other for six years, they find themselves at a crossroads as insecurity and possessiveness threaten to split them apart. The plot revolves around a toxic relationship with a realistic portrayal. Can these two lovers, a young woman who wants to be independent and a boyfriend who is insecure and possessive, manage to remain together?

In a world filled with movies portraying "toxic" relationships, like "Kabir Singh/Arjun Reddy," "Animal," and more, "Lover" stands apart. It delves into the complexities of Arun and Divya's relationship and breakup, offering both perspectives without judgment or bias, making it a refreshing take on love and heartbreak, allowing viewers to draw their own conclusions.

Just watched the movie and loved it, especially the climax. The movie forges perfect connections, leaving a lasting impact. What a fantastic performance from Manikandan and Gouri Priya.

Throughout "Lover," Prabhuram Vyas gives us variations of the opening scene - the fighting, the drinking, the gaslighting, the warning, the apologizing, the patching up - and keeps us engaged with the push and pull of this relationship at a crossroads. The writing tries to be truthful, reflecting the mindset of contemporary 20-somethings when it comes to relationships.

We see this in Divya, who loves Arun but has to make decisions that preserve her identity, even at great cost. We see this in her friends, who want to protect her but also let her make her own decisions. We see this in Madan (Kanna Ravi), Divya's new teammate, who finds himself drawn into a clash between two lovers. We also see this in Arun, who, for all his flaws, realizes the error of his ways and turns over a new leaf.

The sub-plot involving Arun's parents not only humanizes Arun's nature but also shows how even older adults are all at sea when it comes to dealing with relationship issues.

Kudos to the creators and the team behind this cinematic gem. The director has taken his best call and made the film in his own style. To someone in the corner who is broken and overcoming the love they are committed to, watch this-it will surely offer relief. The ultimate goal of love is to accept to let it go, a true trendsetter.

LOVE IS A BATTLE, LOVE IS A WAR, LOVE IS A BREAKUP, LOVE IS GROWING UP.
