Lover Review: It Doesn't Offer Anything Exquisite!
Lover, starring Raj Tarun and Riddhi Kumar in the lead roles has made it to the theatres today. Read Lover movie review to know how the film has turned out to be.
Anish
Krishna's
romantic
tale,
Lover,
starring
Raj
Tarun
and
Gayatri
Suresh
appears
to
be
an
offbeat
love
tale
bankrolled
by
the
passionate
producer,
Dil
Raju.
Raj
Tarun
had
his
last
hit
in
the
form
of
Kumari
21F
and
it
has
just
been
a
string
of
flops
or
average
outings
for
the
young
actor
post
that.
Teaming
up
with
Dil
Raju
should
change
the
fortunes
for
Raj
Tarun
but,
the
producer
is
maintaining
a
low
key
profile
in
terms
of
promotions
and
even
the
trailer
of
Lover
doesn't
seem
to
be
offering
anything
substantial
or
new
to
the
audience.
Lover
is
all
about
Raj,
a
custom
bike
mechanic
who
falls
in
love
with
Charitha,
a
nurse
at
a
certain
hospital.
After
some
persuasion,
Charitha
reciprocates
love
towards
Raj.
In
the
meantime,
Charitha
suspects
some
foul
play
in
her
hospital.
She
notices
that
a
patient
is
missing
from
the
hospital
and
things
get
murkier.
She
is
in
danger
of
being
killed
and
will
be
saved
by
Raj.
The
motive,
crux
of
the
story
and
scene
building
form
the
rest
of
the
plot.
There
seems
to
be
nothing
new
in
the
storyline
as
it
appears
to
be
a
passable
routine
movie
without
any
excitement
or
surprise
turns
in
the
overall
proceedings.
Though
both
Raj
Tarun,
Gayatri
Suresh
and
Riddhi
Kumar
have
rendered
justice
to
their
roles,
it
doesn't
seem
to
have
leveraged
their
potential
to
the
best
level.
Sachin
Khandekar
as
a
billionaire
and
Ajay
as
his
trusted
aid,
contribute
to
the
movie
with
their
adequate
performances.
Rajeev
Kanakala's
characterization
gains
importance
to
an
extent
in
the
second
half.
The
rom-com
movie
offers
a
bit
of
comedy
throughout
the
journey
as
almost
every
character
comes
with
a
tinge
of
comedy
and
are
quite
successful
in
some
scenes.
The
pre-interval
block
marks
the
stamp
of
a
predictability
and
the
screenplay
falls
flat
later.
Cinematography
is
one
of
the
positives
of
the
movie
as
the
locales
captured
in
Kerala
through
the
lens
of
Sameer
Reddy
are
exquisite.
The
framing
gives
a
soothing
feel
to
the
eyes
of
the
audience
while
the
music
is
passable.
Director
Anish
Krishna's
writing
and
execution
appear
to
be
mundane
at
most
places
and
it
has
nothing
new
to
offer.
The
climax
portion
has
been
driven
well
by
him
and
the
rest
falls
flat
when
seen
as
an
overall
package.
Barring
certain
comedy
scenes
and
some
light-hearted
sequences
here
and
there,
Lover
doesn't
seem
to
be
offering
anything
exquisite.
