LOVE DIARIES

‘Love Diaries’ released on Valentine’s Day, 2020. The movie starts with Sushil Shrestha, Rubeena Thapa, Bishwojit Rimal, Bishnu Sapkota, Bishal Pahadi, etc.

The movie opens with a fight between the two lead actors and goes back to the flashback. Sushil Shrestha, Rubeena Thapa, and Bishwojit Rimal have their problem and scapes from their home. Rubeena Thapa wants to be an interior designer but her father wants her to be a doctor. Her father doesn’t understand her so, she goes to Chitwan for interior design. On the way, both the heroes enter the truck in which Rubeena Thapa is travelling. The three reaches Chitwan and the story begins.

The beginning is capable of grabbing the viewers’ interest. The movie develops just as the viewers were lead to believe. And in the end, it succeeds in putting a smile on the viewers’ faces.

Love Diaries is Valentine’s Day release and in the theater, the turnout was good and there were plenty of young couples among the viewers. Furthermore, we can see characters sympathizing, helping each other, and having conversations but can’t see it beyond friendship, albeit it is hard to digest that all of these can happen within a month.

Sushil Shrestha and Rubeena Thapa have done ‘alright’ job in the movie and they both look good. Bishnu Sapkota has done his role up to the mark.  Most of the character actors look so unconvincing in their roles that at times, you seriously feel for the director who decided to ‘okay’ the shots. Bishwojit Rimal is okay in his role.

Overall, Love Diaries offers a predictable and unpredictable ending. The story is a simple and romantic movie. There is no villain and no action. Although acting doesn’t look natural, some of the audience may like the movie because of the simple story. For me, the movie is above average.
