I Love You review :
In between the Adipurush brouhaha, I Love You had a quiet OTT premiere on JioCinema last weekend. Reminding you of Yash Chopra's infinitely superior Darr (1993), the film deals with a psycho stalker (Pavail Gulati) who holds his office colleague (Rakul Preet Singh) hostage in their locked office premises during the Diwali holiday. How the lady escapes this forced captivity forms the major part of this one hour thirty minutes movie.
While the built-up until the stalker makes his intention clear arouses interest, the last hour appears quite stretched and monotonous. Unnecessary heads are hammered and bloodshed occurs every now and then!! The iconic Darr is referenced at one point but sorry, Pavail Gulati ain't a Shahrukh Khan. Akshay Oberoi is completely shortchanged as Rakul's love interest.
I Love You remains watchable only for Rakul Preet Singh, who proves she's not just a pretty face but also a highly competent actress who can shoulder a film on her own. Don't miss it if you are her fan!!
