LYF: Love Your Father (2025) kicks off with this guy, Arjun, who’s basically stuck between wanting to live life on his own terms and dealing with his old-school dad, Raghav. The dude’s got dreams—big ones. He wants to travel, chase music, ditch the family business. But Raghav? He’s all about tradition, legacy, and, honestly, he’s stubborn as a mule. The two butt heads, like, constantly. It’s not just “you didn’t do your homework” arguments—it’s some real generational drama, the kind of stuff that makes you want to yell at the screen. Things get wild when Arjun decides to bail on his dad’s expectations and go rogue. He leaves home, tries to make it on his own, and, not gonna lie, it’s rough. The city doesn’t exactly welcome him with open arms. Money’s tight, the gigs are sketchy, and for the first time, Arjun actually gets what his dad was trying to say about life not being easy. Meanwhile, Raghav’s at home, pretending he’s fine, but you can totally tell he’s hurting. The guy’s pride is huge, but so is his love for his kid. The story flips between both their perspectives—Arjun grinding it out, learning some tough lessons, and Raghav wrestling with his own past mistakes. There’s tension, there’s laughter, there’s even a little romance on the side, but at the heart of it? It’s all about figuring out what “family” actually means when the world’s trying to pull you apart. By the end, you’re left rooting for both of them, and maybe calling your own dad, just to say hey.
