    Interesting & Experimental

    Love is a low-budget indie drama that packs a punch. It's a powerful and humanized exploration of the challenges faced by the younger generation, and it will stay with you long after the credits roll.

    The film follows the story of two friends, Nakul and Vikrant, who are struggling to deal with the pressures of society and their own personal demons. The writing is sharp and insightful, and the characters are complex and relatable. The director's experimental presentation is also effective, using Dutch angles, close-up shots, and long takes of silence to create a metaphorical connection to the film's themes.

    The acting is good, but it could have been better in some scenes. The two leads, Rishabh and Aniket, give good performances, but they are occasionally struggles as it looks like they are trying to convince but not feeling the emotions that demands. The editing and choice of music are also good, and the last song is a perfect ending.

    Overall, Love is a terrific film that you should definitely check out. It's not a typical happy ending film, but it is a film that will make you think about the characters and their stories for hours afterwards.

    Captivating & Complex

    Hi Sourabh, this is Suresh, one of your play directors.

    I just watched your film Love and as always you manage to surprise me! Love, your film, dives deep into human behavior and all its complexities in such a subtle way. The half-hour drama is simply remarkable! And that metaphor with women being home-brilliant!

    The actors did their best, but maybe a bit more exploration or internal characterization could do wonders. But the story still got me thinking about all four characters. That's the power of good storytelling, right?

    And that climax, damn, it's like life itself-chaos! Oh, and that artistic credit "inspired from" was a total winner in my book! Kudos, To the whole team.

    To Sourabh - you know how much I hate this internet thing, I am here to just appreciate you and your team. Next time, don't hesitate to send me your work, I would love to watch everything you are doing, Take Care!

    Drama is Life!

    Damn, Sourabh, you have a thing for tragic dramas! Love is another great one. It works because it's full of conflict. There's no easy answers, everyone has secrets.

    The director leaves it up to the audience to decide who's right or wrong. That silent long take scene is a beautiful representation of the characters' inner turmoil.

    I think the female character is the strongest one, even though she's not actually in the movie. She's always present in the narration, and it's up to the viewers to imagine her. That's a masterstroke. Nakul's revelation monologue is also great writing.

    Rishabh does a standard performance as Nakul, but Aniket goes a bit over the top as Vikrant. He loses some of his subtlety in his aggression. I like both performances in part only.

    Some of the blocking feels unnatural, but I like the editing. It gives you enough time to connect with the characters without losing its momentum.

    Overall, Love is another great piece of art from Sourabh and the team. You should definitely watch it. It's a gripping drama. With a bigger budget, Sourabh can do wonders, Keep up the good work!

    Flim that shows true nature of our own society

    A thought provoking short film that shows how individuals didn't shown their own identity,true nature due to society pressure that ruins many life's. Internal conflicts,truma of two character showcase very well in the flim by director. I also like the way flim shown in dark theme that represents darkness within ourselves. Basically there are total 5 chacters but only 2 chacters shown in the film that makes narrative of the flim simple that can easily understand. Actors performance is also good,they realistically performs with the real sense of emotion. So flim is realistic that needs to be watch by everyone for the massage flim gives. So this flims gives us strength to accept our true identity so that can save so many love life's.

    Love Yourself the way you are.......

    love upon friendship

    "Love" is a compelling narrative that revolves around the intricate dynamics between two close friends. It skillfully explores themes of compromise, camaraderie, and romantic affection. The storyline is meticulously crafted, exhibiting exceptional storytelling prowess, while the direction captivates the viewer with its excellence. The cinematography largely impresses, although there are instances where certain shots could have been refined for greater impact.

    Noteworthy is Nakul's portrayal, which is executed with commendable finesse, showcasing a strong performance. On the other hand, Vik's character delves into profound depths of darkness and intensity, a challenging role to undertake. While there is room for improvement in Vik's portrayal, the actor's earnest efforts shine through, resulting in a compelling depiction.

    A unique aspect is Rhea's absence from the frame, yet her virtual presence pervades the narrative from start to finish, adding a distinctive layer to the story. Collectively, the production stands as a brilliant testament to the creative team's dedication and skill.
