And honestly, it hits close to home – “love” today comes with swipes, matches, unread messages, and occasionally, a full-blown rivalry –seri dhaane(translation: isn’t that right)? Set against the vibrant world of rival dating apps FOUND and Find My Bae,#Lovefollows founders Tara and Matthew, who’ve built entire businesses matching everyone else… Except for themselves.
Monika Shergill, Vice President, Content, Netflix India,said, “This has been a defining year for Netflix India, as we’ve deepened our investment in storytelling from the South of India — and #LOVE is a title we’re especially excited about. As we expand our slate across Tamil storytelling, this contemporary, feel-good rom-com stood out as a genre and that was ready for a fresh, confident take. #LOVE steps into that space with a modern, chemistry-driven love story about two rival dating-app founders who end up testing their own theories of love on each other. Director Balaji Mohan, together with showrunner and producer Soundarya Rajinikanth, brings a wonderfully playful perspective to the series, while Arjun Das and Aishwarya Lekshmi bring the central relationship to life with chemistry, warmth and humour. The series captures that giddy, unguarded feeling of falling for someone you never saw coming – funny, warm, and exhilarating to anyone who’s ever overthought a text message.”
Speaking about the series, showrunner and producerSoundarya Rajinikanthsaid, “What drew me to#Lovewas how effortlessly it captures relationships today without losing its warmth and emotion. Balaji has created characters who are ambitious, flawed and incredibly easy to root for, and Arjun and Aishwarya bring such a refreshing energy to them. It’s exactly the kind of contemporary story we were excited to bring to audiences with Netflix.”
Echoing this, directorBalaji Mohanadded, “When we made #Love, we wanted to tell a story that feels like it belongs to today. Romance has evolved, the way we meet people has changed, but the emotions at the heart of relationships remain incredibly familiar and timeless. What I love about this series is that it isn’t only about two people falling for each other – friendship, family, ambition and finding yourself are equally important parts of their journeys.”
#Loveis written byNirmal Williams, withSharada SubramanianandShweta Chakravartyas co-writers, and produced byMay6 Entertainment Factory. Chemistry or compatibility – which will you bet on? Get ready for a whole new kind of modern romance!
