Loveyapa Movie Review: Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor's latest offering, Loveyapa, is out in cinemas. The film's story addresses many relevant problems like body shaming, social media manipulation, gaslighting, and deepfakes but does not unpack any of the issues nicely. Not only this, but the lead stars also failed to impress with their performances in this routine romantic comedy. However, many of the supporting cast are praise-worthy in the film. If you are planning to watch Loveyapa in cinemas this weekend, it is highly recommended that you read this review first to get a gist about the film.
Story
The story revolves around Gaurav Sachdeva, aka Gucci (played by Junaid), and Bani (played by Khushi), who love each other, but when they try to take their relationship to the next level, they face challenges from Atul Kumar Sharma - Bani's dad - (played by Ashutosh Rana). Her father asks them to exchange their cell phones as a part of a challenge to check their level of trust. After this, things start getting bitter between them as many things unfold in front of them.
This story of doubt and love test ends at a point which is a bit emotional, but by the time it reaches the end, the story falls apart, and it seems that its ending could have been made better. In the first part, the story keeps you engaged and entertains you a lot, but the second part seems a little abrupt. To an extent, you will be able to guess things in advance. Despite all the fights and doubts, Bani's father accepts her relationship, which is quite predictable.
