'LIK' details

'LIK: Love Insurance Kompany' is a science fiction romantic comedy written and directed by Vignesh Shivan. The story is set in 2040 and revolves around the conflict between organic love and technology-driven relationships.

It stars Pradeep Ranganathan, S. J. Suryah and Krithi Shetty in the lead roles.

ETimes review for the film read, "The film unfolds in a vividly imagined, tech-driven Chennai, with confident world-building that lends the story a glossy, futuristic sheen (a smart effort from DoP Ravi Varman, production designer Muthuraj and the VFX team), and a soundtrack (by Anirudh) that makes it breezy and youthful. And the director delivers a colourful, high-energy entertainer — one that balances playful spectacle with moments of genuine warmth, occasional reflections on technology’s growing hold over our lives, and, at times, a streak of crassness."Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
