Directed by Advait Chandan, Loveyapa stars star kids Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor alongside Ashutosh Rana in the lead roles.
Loveyapa is indeed a tech-savvy next-gen film, with a modern outlook to do a reality check before fixing marriages, by swapping the phones of the groom to be with his bride.The film is not only a lighter version of a great responsibility that bothers every parent today, but also brings to light the pros and cons of mobile dependency. While, mobiles today not only hold a key to our bank accounts but social media handles personal and group chats, photos, and videos, which are good enough to expose the real side of one’s personality.
The film begins with this lovey-dovey romance between Gaurav Srivastava (Junaid Khan) and Baani Sharma ( Khushi Kapoor), who are constantly in touch on their mobile phones, while their parents even get irritated and suspicious about this habit.
While Gaurav gifts Baani a high-end mobile phone, her tech-savvy father (Ashutosh Rana), who’s obsessed with the Sanskrit language and Indian traditions, spies on his daughter and finds out about her relationship. He calls Gaurav to meet him and puts a condition to swap their phones post which he would decide the groom for his daughter to marry, which sets the stage for unexpected revelations.
The film bestows a fresh storyline and an intriguing chemistry between Junaid and Khushi, who make a cute couple on screen. Junaid Khan, who has received great looks and a lover boy charm from his father, Amir Khan, Khushi Kapoor, replicates the innocence, grace and great dancing skills of her mother, Sridevi. While they both bring to the table a great grooming that is evident on screen with their natural acting skills as if they are real-life characters.
As a debutant, Junaid Khan has certainly made an effortless theatrical debut in Loveyappa after his OTT release Maharaj, while he brings both charm and depth to the role. While Khushi Kapoor who made her OTT debut with The Archies, brings a freshness to the screen in the film.
The film is directed well and is shot most naturally, as anyone can resonate with the romance between the Gen Z youngsters of every Indian household. Despite being a romantic film, the film is indeed made with a traditional thought depicting true love rather than lust, as mostly depicted in modern-day films.The film is a complete family entertainer, as even the intimate moments are loaded with cuteness, as Baani blushes covering her lips in shyness, when Gaurav wants to steal a kiss.
Both Gaurav and Baani bring a youthful energy onto screen, complemented by a humorous take on the complexities of relationships, friendships and parenthood, while the film breaks the illusion of the perfect romance. The film portrays well Gen-Z being obsessed with their phones, online trolling, deepfakes, and body shaming. It is a realistic take on the times when options are available, from food to swiping partners left and right, then how can one expect to find true love and loyalty?
The film takes Gaurav and Baani on a roller coaster ride of mutual exploration, emotion, betrayal, separation and then reunion, establishing finally the importance of true love and loyalty represented by the one who stands by the other in the toughest time!
Overall, it is a must-watch film, loaded not only with fun but some words of wisdom too. A complete family entertainer, especially for youngsters which releases in theatres on 7th February on the occasion of Rose Day.
