Loveyapa Movie Review

Plot Overview

"Loveyapa" follows the story of Baani (Khushi Kapoor) and Gaurav ‘Gucci’ (Junaid Khan), a couple who are challenged by their mobile phones revealing hidden secrets. Inspired by the Tamil original "Love Today," the film explores how cell phones can make or break relationships.

Key Themes and Storyline

The movie dives into secrets stored on phones: Baani's midnight chats with exes and Gucci’s steamy messages. The plot delves into body-shaming, deepfakes, and toxic masculinity but is often overshadowed by mundane storytelling.

Performance

Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor’s performances are pleasant, but their chemistry lacks the depth needed for a compelling romance. Khushi's personality stands out more, while Junaid remains mostly unremarkable.

Sidebar Storyline

A subplot featuring Gucci’s sister and her fiancé explores the challenges faced by plus-size individuals, offering a more interesting take on body image and self-esteem issues.

Dialogue and Execution

The film suffers from heavy-handed dialogue, with lines like “cell phones change every two years, relationships don’t,” feeling forced and outdated.

Conclusion

Though it explores relevant issues for Gen Z, "Loveyapa" wraps its important themes in banality, resulting in a movie that’s less impactful than it could have been.
