With competition from various top-contenders in Kollywood, ‘Lover’ seems to get recognised in the game. Coinciding with Valentine’s week, this Tamil romantic feel-good film has been receiving good word-of-mouth from the critics and audiences, especially youth. As per the buzz in social media, ‘Lover’ has secured an OTT platform for its digital debut.
Written and directed by Prabhuram Vyas in his directorial debut, ‘Lover’ was released theatrically on February 9, featuring ‘Good Night’ fame Manikandan and Sri Gouri Priya in leading roles. Produced under the banners of Million Dollar Studios and MRP Entertainment, ‘Lover’ portrays the bittersweet love life of Arun and Divya.
While Divya’s career soars high, Arun struggles with his professional growth due to bad influence and lack of discipline. The whole story is about how the couple mend their differences and bring their struggling love alive. The film also features Kanna Ravi, Saravanan, Geetha Kailasam in supporting roles, and the songs are composed by Sean Roldon.
Audiences have praised the engaging storyline, natural performances by Manikandan and Sri Gouri Priya, and portraying the importance of healthy relationships and freedom of expression.
Reports suggest that Disney+ Hotstar has acquired the streaming rights for ‘Lover,’ and will tentatively release on March 8. While official confirmation is still pending, this development comes as a significant boost for the film’s producers, considering its modest budget. The potential acquisition underscores the increasing role of streaming platforms in supporting independent and budget-friendly films.
