Navdeep’s most recent film, Love Mouli, was released on June 7, 2024. Directed by Avaneendra, the movie featured Pankhuri Gidwani as the female lead. However, it was a major disappointment at the box office, failing to even reach Rs 2 crore in total earnings. The film was removed from theaters after just two weeks and made available on Aha instead. This disappointing performance sets the stage for a critical review of the film.
Love Mouli began airing on Aha on June 28, 2024 but has failed to attract an audience. The film has yet to generate much excitement on the OTT platform, and those who have watched it are disappointed with the director Avaneendra’s clumsy storytelling, which has ruined what could have been an intriguing plot. Another social media individual criticized the film’s slow pace and the lack of emotional impact. Love Mouli follows the journey of an artist who remains skeptical about the existence of true love. However, his perspective changes when he paints a portrait of his ideal woman, who magically comes to life and begins a relationship with him. As he encounters challenges, he creates another painting with a similar outcome. Through various women portrayed by Pankhuri Godwani, the protagonist learns the true essence of love. Despite its initial appeal, the film sometimes becomes increasingly explicit with adult content, prompting criticism from viewers on social media. While the second half offers moments of entertainment, they are short-lived. Love Mouli underwent a lengthy production process, facing two delays before its release on June 7, 2024.
The audience online believed that Pankhuri Godwani’s acting was the highlight of the movie. She delivered a remarkable performance as she portrayed three distinct characters. Navdeep had high expectations for the film, marking his return as the protagonist after a lengthy hiatus. Unfortunately, “Love Mouli” failed to attract viewers in cinemas and on OTT platforms.
