![]() Tamil director Pradeep Ranganathan on ‘Love Today’, turning actor, and the evolving nature of romance The man is Uthaman Pradeep (Pradeep Ranganathan) and the smartphone is a gift for his girlfriend Nikita (Ivana). I liked the idea behind establishing the ‘seed’ of Love Today. The customer opens the selfie camera and only now do we get to see the man’s face. Now we see the smartphone lying in the store yet to be taken, when a customer asks for it. It cuts to a video of a smartphone being manufactured in a lab before it comes to the retail store. We see a boy sucking out the sweet juice of mango in the opening scene that ends with the boy planting the seed, waiting for it to germinate into a full-grown tree. Although I would strongly argue that his short film on which this film is based, was the better film. In the age of smartphones, aren’t we all victims of knowing too little? This curiosity to know more takes the shape of a dramatic plot point in Pradeep Ranganathan’s Love Today. Yet, there is always a curiosity to know more that sometimes it borderlines into misplaced trust. But how much are you willing to trust? You might know your partner a little too well. Do you ever truly know someone? Isn’t there a side in all of us that we are always shielding from the outside? Trust is the foundation of any relationship it is the DNA that binds a romantic relationship. ![]()
