Reception
editLogesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Love would have been an interesting murder mystery if RP Bala had brought in a few more solid conflicts without too many twists and turns."[11] Chandhini R of Cinema Express gave it 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Love could have matched up with the impact that the original created, if only it stayed true to the original's narrative, importantly, in the second half and embraced the beauty that lies in self-interpretations and observations instead of overcooking the plot to simplify it for a new audience."[12]
