Must Date the Playboy Review:
Love, attraction, heartbreak, and confusion of love life form an essential part of becoming an adult. Sometimes, finding your match may turn out to be a bit more challenging than expected. The latest Tamil romantic coming-of-age drama called Must Date the Playboy delves into this peculiar aspect of youthful romance.
The film is directed by T. Suriavelan and stars Muzammil Elias, Chandni Nagadurga, Mazhaimegan, Ganga Kannan, and Pragadesh Prakash. It is currently available on Netflix in three languages: Tamil, Hindi, and English.
First and foremost, it is obvious that the best thing about young love stories is the ease of identifying with the characters and their situation. Falling in love, being attracted to someone, misunderstanding each other and having difficulties in knowing what they really want is something we can all understand. Must Date the Playboy is a good example of making use of this familiarity and building the story around the theme of modern romance.
Apart from this, the series is trying to look a bit further than a simple romance and try adding the aspect of coming of age. Indeed, growing up is not only about falling in love, but it is also about making mistakes, living through the consequences and learning something about yourself. In this way, the story gains another chance to get closer to its young audience interested in dramas about relationships.
The leading roles in the cast are played by Muzammil Elias and Chandni Nagadurga, whereas the supporting cast features names such as Mazhaimegan, Ganga Kannan and Pragadesh Prakash.
T. Suriavelan, the director of Must Date the Playboy, chooses an issue that is contemporary and appeals to today’s generation, at a time when dating and relationships have gotten really difficult. There is enough scope in the concept to include romance, drama and some relatable scenes.
But then again, coming-of-age romances have provided us with plenty of similar concepts over the years, and so the trick is to bring something new into the picture. As much as the success of the show will depend on the audience’s connect with the characters.
