Lover

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.

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.

The movie perfect connections, leaving an indelible mark on the audience, one that stuck long after the credits rolled. Performances weren't just recited lines..they spilled out like heartfelt confessions, hitting you right in the feels. The storyline delved into personal insecurities, toxic relationships, dysfunctional family & deep-rooted trauma, resonating with viewers on a deeply personal level.

The background score, music, dialogue & cinematography were like gifts from above -blending seamlessly to create an experience that felt like a warm embrace for the soul. This film wasn't just a feast for the senses..it was therapy wrapped in cinema, offering solace & understanding in equal measure. It's a cinematic journey that's not to be missed!

A beacon of enlightenment for those seeking deeper meaning in the art of storytelling.

Hats off to the creators and the entire team behind this cinematic gem.

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.

The movie portrayed how flawed a human can be but yet a good person at heart and find love, but only for it to crumble because of those flaws.

Not just that but also how the character grew up realising it at the end was awesome. I would have loved it if director had given more screen time to show character developments instead of just fast forwarding it at the end but I'm guessing it would require an another one whole whole good movie.

Its Been a long time since i watched a realistic and most natural love story in tamil cinema for while, giving hope for me as a tamil cinema audience and to watch out for upcoming great films like this.
