Highlights

Music by Sean Roldan is soothing to our ears and plays a beautiful backdrop to carrying the breezy movie on its shoulders.

Cinematography by Shreyaas Krishna and Editing by Suresh Kumar was crisp and seamlessly carried forward the movie. The close-up on each of the actors truly brough out the best of emotions.

Supporting actors like Kavya Anil, Harish and others have done a fantastic job of supporting the movie with pitch-perfect emotions especially with Saravanan as the Chemistry teacher explaining what happened with an incident later in the movie with the enlightning advice to not judge anyone harshly too quickly.

Abishan Jeevinth had fantastically directed Tourist Family, which was a complex portrayal of human emotions, strongly highlighting the goodness of human nature. His foray into acting is no less spectacular with him giving his absolute best in every frame.

Anaswara Rajan has truly transformed into the character of the social media influencer, Monisha. From a free-flowing student characterization to a subdued but famous influencer wanting attention but not demanding it, as well as standing up for her rights, she has literally grown into the character. Wishing to see more such powerful women-oriented roles from the gen-z actors.

But the true highlight of the movie has been the director of the movie, Madhan who has crafted it meticulously and cast with such precision that no character feels out of place or forced. Delving seamlessly into past and present with differing perspectives of two individuals requires quite an understanding of human emotions and the director has come up with trumps in it.

 

If you wish to re-visit your school memories with fondness and unwind with a breezy lighthearted rom-com, ‘With Love’ definitely should be on your list this weekend. Do share your thoughts if you have seen the movie.
