When Pradeep first announced that he was going to make his short film ‘Appa Lock’ into a full-length feature film, ‘Love Today’, we all thought he was banking on Vijay’s 1997 hit for name and fame. However, Pradeep’s new-age Love Today really portrays the realities of contemporary relationships. The movie has not one, but several important messages, all conveyed in a non-preachy and enjoyable manner. The trailer set a clear premise for what the story could possibly be. Nikitha’s (Ivana) father demands that she exchanges her phone with that of her lover Uthaman Pradeep (Pradeep) for 24 hours in order for him to accept their alliance. What happens when the couple unlocks each other’s phones and finds the darkest secrets about each other? That’s for you to find out in the theatres.

The movie, which was released on 4th November, made a Box Office collection of 50 Crores. Taking it to Twitter, the international OTT platform sharing a poster of the film announced that the film will make its digital premiere on Netflix on December 2. The statement read, “Disclaimer: Exchanging phones with your partner might be injurious to your relationship. ‘Love Today’ is coming on the 2^nd of December!’

The movie has become one of the greatest blockbusters of 2022. So many from the film fraternity including Rajinikanth and Simbu heaped praises upon the actor-director Pradeep Ranganathan for his acting, screenplay and direction. Pradeep also drew flak after his old posts thrashing Yuvan Shankar Raja and many others went viral on social media. The actor then clarified that some of those posts were fabricated. He also apologised for his immature posts that came 10 years ago.
