Loves is a 2004 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film directed by K. Jayapandian starring Thamizh, Sona and Sweety. The film was released on 30 July 2004.
The film marked the debut of Vikram, a dentist by profession, who appeared under the stage name of Thamizh. [1] Sona, the sister of actress Rajashree, also made her debut in Tamil cinema through the film. [1] She had previously been attached to star in Sonnal Thaan Kaadhala (2001), under the stage name of Bobby, but was later removed from the project by director T. Rajender. [2]
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "it's a time affair, with mediocre scripting and treatment" and that the "ending is thoughtless and insensitive too". She also compared the film's story to that of Punnagai Poove (2003). [1]
A reviewer from entertainment portal BizHat.com noted "Loves is nothing but an old wine in a new bottle. It's a love triangle that directors and producers have tested time and again". The critic added "Jayapandian has given an average film with a blend of comedy and emotional story. He has made the screenplay keeping in mind the front benchers". [3] Screen wrote "Debutante hero Tamizh is the only saving grace of the film. Aimed for the B&C; centers, director Jaipanian has introduced many ingredients to make the front benchers happy. [...] Comedy by Vadivelu is crude and obscene." [4]
