Kiran Dravid

Kiran Dravid’s “Love Reddy” (2024) is one of those movies that tries to tear up the usual rulebook and tosses it out the window. The story kicks off in the middle of Hyderabad’s chaos, where the main guy—Reddy, obviously—has zero chill about love but way too much swagger. He’s not your classic Bollywood hero, that’s for sure. Reddy’s got this wild stubborn streak, thinks he’s too smart for heartbreak, and honestly, you almost want to root against him at first. But then, there’s Priya. She’s sharp, calls out his nonsense, and doesn’t fall for his usual lines. Their banter? Sharp as broken glass, but with this undercurrent of something real. Things spiral fast. Family drama, old grudges, and a few side characters who are, let’s face it, completely bonkers. There’s an uncle who thinks he’s some kind of love guru but gives the worst advice imaginable. Friends who are loyal but clueless. And through it all, Reddy keeps crashing into his own dumb mistakes, chasing Priya but not really getting what she’s about. The movie doesn’t shy away from poking fun at itself, and the soundtrack? Absolute banger—south Indian beats with a little modern twist. The climax isn’t some fairy tale; people mess up, nobody gets a slow-motion rain scene, but somehow, it all feels earned. By the end, you’re not just rooting for Reddy—you’re kinda hoping he grows up, maybe learns something about love that isn’t straight out of a meme.
