Lover 2024 Tamil Movie : Critique
Plus Points (+)
Prabhuram Vyas is known for making romantic movies like "Livin" (2017) and "Lover" (2024). In the first half, we see the romantic chemistry between Arun and Divya. In the second half, you feel the pain of Arun because he knows he will soon lose Divya due to his alcoholism. K. Manikandan's performance as Arun is purely natural, and you won't feel for a second that you are watching a scripted movie. Director Prabhuram Vyas portrays the current reality of men in the form of a movie.
Boys in college have big dreams, but due to bad habits, they sacrifice their dreams. They lose their focus and become indisciplined. In this film, the director focuses more on Arun's character. Arun is a topper in his college, and his dream is to open a café in his city. But his toxic and alcoholic friends slowly turn him into an alcoholic, and he gives up his dream. On the other hand, Sri Gouri Priya as Divya is a beautiful girl from a middle-class family whose dream is to work in an IT company.
She loves Arun, but due to his alcoholic habits, their relationship becomes toxic, yet Divya supports him. In the second half of the movie, Sri Gouri Priya's performance is outstanding. She symbolizes an independent girl who works hard day and night for her dreams, which is the biggest positive point in this movie. Geetha Kailasam, who plays Arun's mom, delivers an excellent performance. She always loves her son and prays to God for him. She symbolizes pure love. Geetha Kailasam has given her best in many Tamil and Telugu movies, but in this movie, her performance is excellent compared to her other films.
Minus Points (-)
In the second half of the film, you are reminded of some scenes from "Arjun Reddy" and "Dear Comrade" Tamil movies because some scenes in this movie are inspired by "Dear Comrade." For example, Arun first explodes in anger and then weeps and apologizes, pitifully seeking another chance from Divya. In the middle of the second half, the movie becomes overly emotional when Divya breaks up with Arun.
Technical Analysis

The background music is perfectly matched with the movie scenes. .
