After a jump start at the box office, Abishan Jeevinth and Anaswara Rajan's romantic drama With Love is taking the highway to success, thanks to the positive reception from audiences and critics it has been receiving since its release. After collecting over Rs 1.6 crore on its opening day, the film went on to earn over Rs 2.5 crore on Saturday and Sunday, taking its overall total to breach the Rs 6 crore mark. Globally, the film has now crossed Rs 11 crore, a promising milestone for a film with lesser-known names in its supporting cast.
With Love, directed by Madhan in his debut, is Abishan's first film as the lead after helming the hit Tourist Family last year with Sasikumar and Simran. It is also Anaswara's first film as the female lead in Tamil.
The film follows a couple who try to seek closure on their past as they try to establish a relationship between themselves.
CE's review of the film reads, "With Love gets a lot of things right, almost, and that is mainly because it gives agency to all of its principal characters. The choices of Sathya, Monisha, Balaji, and Anisha are all treated with respect, and even when it deals with their younger selves, it never infantilises them."
Director Madhan has previously worked as an assistant director to Abishan in Tourist Family and to Prabhu Ram Vyas in Lover, starring Manikandan. The film is produced by Magesh Raj Pasilian's MRP Entertainment, the banner behind Tourist Family, along with Soundarya Rajinikanth's Zion Films.
