The story revolves around Gaurav (Junaid Khan) and Baani (Khushi Kapoor), a young couple from Delhi who epitomize the digital-age relationship. Connected through constant texting, calls, and social media interactions, their relationship began on Instagram and is fueled by obsession and possessiveness. However, things take a dramatic turn when Baani’s father, Atul (Ashutosh Rana), starts searching for a suitable match for her.To prove their love, Baani convinces Gaurav to meet her father and ask for her hand in marriage. Atul, skeptical of their modern relationship, proposes a “trust test” that requires them to exchange phones for a day.
This seemingly simple test spirals into chaos as secrets from their past and present come to light, shaking the foundation of their relationship. Will their love survive this unexpected trial? To find out, you’ll have to watch Loveyapa on the big screen.Directed by Advait Chandan, the film beautifully explores the complexities of Gen Z relationships in today’s digital era, where everything from dating to grocery shopping is just a swipe away. Chandan sheds light on how easily young couples fall in and out of love, often breaking up over WhatsApp messages.
The movie also highlights the dark side of social media, delving into issues like Deepfake technology, fat-shaming, and the emotional toll of fake content. Performance-wise, Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor deliver heartfelt portrayals, perfectly capturing the essence of youthful romance. Ashutosh Rana, Tanvika Parlikar, and Kiku Sharda add layers of humor and emotional depth with their stellar performances.
On the whole, Loveyapa is a delightful entertainer. With its blend of humor, romance, and a subtle yet impactful message about trust and the pitfalls of technology, it’s the perfect modern-day rom-com.
