Tamil romantic drama With Love premieres on Netflix on March 6, featuring debut performances by Abishan Jeevinth and Anaswara Rajan. Here’s everything about the film’s story, cast, reviews, and OTT release

New Delhi: After a small but successful run in theaters that impressed Tamil audiences with its light and charming story, the romantic drama With Love is now coming to OTT platforms. The film stars newcomers Abishan Jeevinth and Anaswara Rajan, and it will start streaming on Netflix on March 6, 2026, exactly one month after its theatrical release on February 6.

The movie is produced under MRP Entertainments, an independent production banner. The story shows how love can appear unexpectedly in the middle of busy city life. It represents a new kind of Tamil film focused on young people, mixing emotional moments with small but meaningful comments about modern relationships.

So what makes With Love special? It is not just another love story. It is also the debut film for two new actors and is part of Netflix’s growing collection of South Indian movies. Early reviews describe the film as “sweet and relatable,” and it currently has an average rating of 7.2/10 on IMDb.

As Tamil films become more popular on OTT platforms, the movie is also attracting attention from Tamil audiences living in places like Delhi. Here is everything you need to know about the film—from its story and actors to how and where you can watch it.

A Light and Heartwarming Love Story

With Love follows the journey of a young couple. One is a tech-loving dreamer, played by Abishan, and the other is a free-spirited artist, played by Anaswara. Their lives cross in the busy streets of Chennai because of a funny mistake on a mobile app.

At first, their conversations are awkward. But slowly their connection grows deeper. The story explores themes like trust, dreams, career pressure, and family expectations in today’s fast-moving world.

The film runs for 2 hours and 10 minutes. It mixes romance with humor, a little action, and emotional scenes. There is even a small chase sequence as a fun reference to classic Tamil movie style. The music is composed by rising musician Sean Roldan, and the songs have already started trending on Spotify.

Key Themes

• Modern Romance: Dating apps versus real emotional connections, something many Gen Z viewers can relate to.
• Family Relationships: Traditional South Indian wedding moments add warmth and humor.
• City Life: Chennai’s busy lifestyle highlights struggles young people face, such as finding jobs and independence.

The movie was made with a budget of about ₹10 crore by MRP Entertainments, which is known for smaller but successful films like Jockey. Many viewers say the film feels similar to global romantic comedies like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, but with a Tamil cultural touch.

The New Stars: Abishan Jeevinth and Anaswara Rajan

The biggest strength of With Love is its two lead actors, who both make their Tamil film debut in this movie.

Abishan Jeevinth

Abishan Jeevinth, 24, plays Arjun, a talented software engineer trying to balance his career and love life. He is originally from Chennai and comes from a middle-class family. Abishan was first noticed after acting in a short film at a college festival in 2024. He later trained in theatre at Loyola College.

Critics say his natural acting works especially well in emotional scenes. In an interview before the film’s release, he said:
“This character is a lot like me—awkward but hopeful.”

Anaswara Rajan

Anaswara Rajan, 22, plays Priya, a lively and artistic young woman. Her expressive acting and dance sequences bring energy to the film. She comes from Thrissur in Kerala and earlier appeared in the Malayalam film Neru. However, With Love is her first major Tamil film.

Anaswara is also trained in classical dance, and according to the director, her chemistry with Abishan was natural from the beginning. She has around 100,000 followers on social media, where she often shares hints about the movie’s theme of “unexpected love.”

Other Cast Members

• SJ Suryah appears as a funny uncle who brings comic relief.
• Nassar plays a mentor figure.
• The director’s friend also appears in a small café scene, adding an independent-film feel.

Both lead actors trained together for three months before filming so their performances would feel natural. Anaswara even learned her Tamil lines phonetically during preparation.

Many reviewers say the pair brings a fresh and natural energy, something different from the usual star-focused Tamil films.

With Love first released in theaters on February 6, 2026 and it is releasing on netflix on 6th March i.e., today. Over four weeks, it earned about ₹15 crore, which is a good result for a film with new actors.
