Synopsis: 'I Love You' takes audiences on a rollercoaster ride through the life of Satya Prabhakar, a corporate woman whose world takes a dark turn when she finds herself trapped within her workplace. As danger lurks in every corner, the film keeps viewers engaged, eager to unravel the mysteries surrounding her plight.
Review: In his Hindi film debut, director Nikhil Mahajan draws inspiration from 90s classics like 'Darr' and 'Anjaam,' delivering a 94-minute thriller that pays homage to the nostalgic era. While the movie successfully captures the essence of the time through iconic tracks like 'Tu Mile Dil Khile' and 'Rooth Na Jana Tumse Kahoon Toh,' it falls slightly short of delivering an utterly spine-chilling experience compared to other films in the same genre. Nevertheless, the film compensates with its exceptional performances, leaving a lasting impression.
The narrative wastes no time in introducing its characters, with a primary focus on Satya (Rakul Preet Singh), a strong and independent corporate woman who recently got engaged to her colleague, Vishal (Akshay Oberoi). Their plans for a romantic Diwali getaway are abruptly disrupted when Satya finds herself locked inside the office building, unable to contact Vishal or her driver. As desperation sets in, she reaches out to her friend and colleague, Rishabh Oberoi aka RO (Pavail Gulati), from the technical department. Little do they know that their encounter will lead them down a treacherous path, unveiling a series of shocking discoveries throughout the night. Satya's fight for survival becomes a catalyst for a life-altering journey.
Pavail Gulati delivers a stellar performance as RO, expertly portraying the shades of his complex character. His presence keeps the audience on the edge of their seats, and his remarkable rendition of the song 'Jumma Chumma De De' adds an extra layer of brilliance. Rakul Preet Singh leaves no stone unturned as she embodies Satya's survival instincts, skillfully navigating moments of panic and uncertainty. Both Gulati and Singh captivate viewers with their incredible performances, holding their attention throughout. Akshay Oberoi leaves a mark despite his limited role.
Overall, 'I Love You' presents a storyline that may seem predictable from the start. However, its brisk pace, coupled with impactful performances, makes it a movie well worth your time.
