Audience review

A user wrote, “I dont like 🤧 Only songs & bgm saves it. 💚 First half okay... second half is draggy and disappointing 😖😖😖 #Keerthi - totally waste #Seeman for dad character, Doesn’t match his natural intensity🙄 Below average overall. Feels like a good idea wasted by poor execution.”

Another user remarked, “If you're on the verge of making your film, I swear to god... check if Anirudh is free. Get him in, and half your work is done. He lifts LIK with such energetic, happy music, and when you couple it with the colourful, neon-flavoured digital world, complete with funky sunglasses, hairstyles and costumes, there’s already more for the senses than you’d get in your average film. Dheema is great (and you have known that for a year now), Pattuma is great (especially for its lack of typical percussions), Adaavadi is great… and then they’ve brought back Enakkena Yaarum Illaye (from Aakko?) as well. It’s a largely fun soundscape, staying true to the film’s broad mood.”

A third user stated, “LIK (Love Insurance Kompany) - First Half 🏆🤩🔥it’s a visual treat 😍🔥. A proper futuristic rom-com done really well. The writing, making & overall vision from Vignesh Shivan feels next level..easily his best work so far 👏🏻There’s literally no dull moment in the 1st half. The screenplay is fast & engaging & the dialogues are lovely as always ❤️💥@pradeeponelife looks completely different here..you won’t see his usual style.”

A fourth comment read, “Can be watched for the good performances of Pradeep, SJS and the ensemble actors and solid score by @anirudhofficial along with the futuristic setup.”
