Love Today (2022) :
Brief Review -
A top-class concept is here to thrash all the mediocre modern love stories. This is how today's love is, and you'll find realism in it. Love Today is totally today's concept for a love story as we see a wannabe couple swap phones for a day, which opens many secrets. It's a hilarious film throughout and also tries to be a little sensible at the end. It only lacks one thing, and that's intellectualism. The way it tries too hard to make love win at the end is too mainstream and predictable. Of course, not every film can have mic drop endings like Casablanca or Brief Encounter, but let's say we are 7 decades ahead now, so at least we should feel ashamed of that. One more thing is that the film missed a big chance of becoming a modern lesson for sons and daughters who never listen to their parents when they ask them not to use phones so much. On the personal side, when I see lovers talking to each other on the phone, like for a full day (including my own brother), I always tell myself, "How can two people talk so much on the same topics every day?" How are you, had your lunch, what you ate, will bunk classes to meet you, all these things and what not. You spend almost half the day doing this talk on the phone with some stranger whom you've known for a few months, but have you ever spent even 10% of that time asking the same things to your mother or father, with whom you've been living for years? In one scene, Love Today had a chance to shed some light on this thought but missed. That conversation between our hero and his mother could have become a memorable scene with these thoughts, or one more that he should have listened to his mother when she told her not to use the phone so much, and now he realises that a mother is never wrong. Anyway, it's a fantastic film with plenty of laughs and relatable scenes from your own life, so enjoy it. Please note that my phone is always open to anybody for a thorough check. I am that clean!
RATING - 7/10*
