Story:
Vasu (Siddharth), is a young boy with big dreams about becoming a film director. But he has enjoyed his carefree life until now due to his wealth and very minimal responsibilities. Life changes when he meets a serious accident, losing the memory of the last two years. Starting over, he relocates to Bengaluru and befriends Bobby (Karunakaran), a café owner. It is here that he meets the strong-willed and confident Subbalakshmi (Ashika Ranganath), and Vasu falls for her instantly.
But Subbalakshmi doesn’t share the same feelings and rejects his marriage proposal, leaving Vasu perplexed. Determined to understand her behavior, he uncovers a shocking truth about her past. Who is Subbalakshmi really? Why does she avoid Vasu? What secrets lie behind her actions? Miss You unravels these mysteries at the heart of the story, offering a captivating emotional journey.
Review:
Miss You shines through the captivating chemistry between its leads, Siddharth and Ashika Ranganath. Their performances manage to capture the audience’s attention, even as the film grapples with some inconsistencies. Siddharth effortlessly embodies a character navigating the complexities of memory loss, bringing both charm and depth to the role. Ashika Ranganath brings grace and emotional resonance, making their interactions both enjoyable and engaging.
The central narrative, revolving around Vasu’s journey to reclaim his lost memories, keeps the suspense building. The non-linear storytelling approach enhances this sense of mystery, drawing viewers in as they join the protagonist in uncovering the truth. Ghibran’s music further elevates the emotional atmosphere, with his background score adding depth to key moments.
Despite these strengths, the film falters in a few areas. At times, the narrative becomes overly explanatory, weakening the impact of the suspenseful moments. The supporting cast, especially Vasu’s friends, primarily serve as comic relief, delivering predictable one-liners without much contribution to the plot’s progression. Vasu’s ambition to become a filmmaker is touched upon but remains largely unexplored, leaving it feeling like a missed opportunity. A few brief moments hint at his passion for cinema, but they lack the depth needed to make it a key element of the storyline.
While the action scenes have potential, they feel somewhat forced and fail to generate the excitement one might expect. Karunakaran’s performance stands out, delivering a strong supporting role. The dialogues from Balasaravanan and Maran provide some comic relief, but Sharath Lohitashwa’s portrayal of a politician falls short, with his role feeling underdeveloped and lacking impact.
Overall, Miss You offers an intriguing plot and strong performances, but its missed opportunities in character development and occasional missteps in execution prevent it from fully realizing its potential.
