 "I Love You"


If we are asked what is the best emotion or feeling we feel, most of us will say that it is love. Is there anything beyond love? Yes, there is something beyond that called the grief of losing their love. Has the person you loved ever left you? In different ages of your life, you may have different love stories. However, are they sill with you?

Love Mocktail, an Indian Kannada romantic movie directed by Krishna and released in 2020, is a movie of love through our lives. This movie is about protagonist Aadi's quest for love since his childhood. In the genuine sense, a girlfriend or boyfriend becomes a commercial need of the modern society. When you are alone, you force yourself to find a girlfriend or boyfriend to talk and have fun. When your friends are in a relationship, you also want to be someone’s girlfriend or boyfriend. In this movie, before love catches Adhi, he attempts to catch love. It is alright, if what Adhi catches as love also catches Adhi as her love. Nevertheless, what if one end unawares uses the other end as a commercial need. One day, it breaks down whatever they do to protect that pre-defined love.

Why cannot you bear the love until it finds you? At the end, Nidhi the symbol of true love in the movie, finds Adhi and she reshapes and changes everything that need to reshape and change in Adhi’s life. It can be defined as a situation in which both Adhi and Nidhi catch the true love rather than a situation where either Adhi or Nidi catches their love. She understands who Adhi really is and love not what he is, but who he is. Unfortunately, Nidhi’s life comes to an end due to a cancer as the end of most of romantic movies. Do you think Adhi married someone else after Nidhi’s death? It would happen, if Adhi only liked Nidhi without love. He decides to live in memories of Nidhi. How can you forget the person who changed everything in your life and love from their heart? If you love someone else when you are already in love, choose the second person. Because if you really love a person, you never love someone else. You do not need a love to live, but your heart needs. 

“Every time I was in love, I felt it was true love. When every time it failed, I looked for a new love. Nidhi might not there with me. But I never felt, her love is dead or a failure. Because true love happens only once in a life time, and it already happened to me. That’s enough for this life time. I love you Nidhi.”

  1. So heart touching piece of writing sachith, through the way you narrowed your points down the reader feels that you are not just writing for the sake of it but your writing is like a conversation with heart and soul. Used diction makes your piece of art more emotional and hearr touching. I agree with the point that love never dies it lives with us every single minute of our lives.

  2. I also agree that this is so much a heart touching piece of writing. I would like to start by your quote " Every time I was in love, I felt it was true love. When every time it failed, I looked for a new love." The moment you fall in love with a person with your whole heart we think it as true love but at some point you may lose it unfortunately. Today, what most of us do is searching for a new one after losing that. So why we tend to do so is because we all need love in some shape or form and most of the time it drives us to do things we may not have done before. True love as in the above mentioned movie will be hard to find, but once found must be cherished. True love doesn't just happen, it takes time and nurturing just like for Adhi and Nidhi. It is usually a positive motivator but this may not always be the case. Sometimes you are so in love that nothing matters but that one person. Your world begins to revolved around them; everything you do and think about seems to be just them. It is so true that it's unbearable once you lose such a love. You burn up, feel dizzy and you will become speechless. You will have to give up everything, runaway from everything to make this feeling fade. Simply, you just do not want to believe it had happened to you. Though you fail in love at that point you have to move on and keep doing things as usually before. I think it is a very hard thing to do while trying to forget each and every moment you spend with your true love. Here, as Adhi does you will eventually start living with the memories of your lost love. Whoever said, you will never forget your true love in your life. It is also better to choose the second person because if you truly love someone you do not feel the need of another. It is the best thing to live with the memories if you have lost your true love once and if you haven't found it wait for it! The right person will come into your life at the right time! Finally, I would also like to say that there is no such a worst feeling than losing your true love :(

  3. As someone who does not believe in true love, I can not completely agree with your statement here. These are movies made and real life is nothing like that. There might be people like Adhi in this world but most humans are not like this. It is true that losing your loved one is such a pain to one’s life. But as people are different they also react to this differently. Some people might decide that they will live alone forever like Adhi here, but life does not play like that most of the time. It is not in our hands to like someone or not. Feelings can come to one at any time. Life is not a fairytale, like movies and people are not saints like portrayed in the movies.

    From the information I found on studies it is shown that it takes three or more years to adjust to a life without your partner. It is said that love can happen more than once. Of course, the memories of the lost love are there and can not be forgotten. But it is also true that time helps you to adapt to the pain and to live with the memories. And maybe one day, after 5 years, 10 years, or even 20 years later you might fall in love with someone again. Because that is life, and that is how the universe is built up.

  4. After you lost someone you loved,it's painful. Time helps you to relive that pain for some extent but the scar will remain until you die. In films,after the partner dies or the loved one dies,that person will never seek or fell in love with another person but in real life it happens rarely. With the pressure of the society or for the sake to going through with the world,one does not live alone, so they marry someone but it may not be based on true love. Some may fall in love with another after so many years and is depends on your fate.

  5. I love the interpretation that you have brought up in this article and it is very emotional.

    It is true that to love or to be loved unconditionally is the most precious thing a person can give, or they can receive by someone.When that love is no more, that person is broken. In fact, this is is also a film which has been created to attract the audience and to have high rates. In such a situation, these types of incidents cannot be taken as a generalized factor.

    In personal note, I am note a love hater but in a practical notion and with the time being in the present context people tend to move on when they meet difficult situations. That is mainly because of the stressed mental situations created with the world of work. If a person loses his/her love , only a limited number of people lament on past.

    On the other hand, whenever a true love is found that person can heal by talking and by mutual understanding.
