The romantic drama With Love, directed by debutant Madhan, continues to generate significant buzz as it approaches its highly anticipated digital release. The film features Abishan Jeevinth in his first leading role, paired opposite the talented Anaswara Rajan.
OTT Platform Confirmation and Release Date Speculation
Following a steady theatrical run, attention has now shifted decisively to the film's over-the-top streaming plans. The production team previously confirmed that the post-theatrical digital rights were secured by the global streaming giant Netflix, with this information prominently displayed in official posters and various promotional materials. However, the precise premiere date has remained officially unannounced.
According to recent reports from entertainment portal FilmiBeat, With Love may begin streaming on the platform starting March 6, 2026. Industry insiders note that Netflix is expected to issue a formal announcement regarding the release schedule in the coming weeks.
Box Office Performance Analysis
The film demonstrated respectable commercial performance during its theatrical exhibition. According to detailed data from the Sacnilk website, the romantic drama collected approximately Rs 51 lakhs on its 14th day of release. The cumulative 13-day total stood at an impressive Rs 22.60 crore nationwide.
A closer examination of the second-week figures reveals a predictable declining pattern. On Day 11, the film earned Rs 1 crore, representing a 55.56% drop from previous collections. This was followed by Day 12 with Rs 90 lakhs and Day 13 closing at Rs 80 lakhs. While the business was not groundbreaking, it represented a decent outcome for a debut-led production.

Critical Reception and Performance Praise
An exclusive review from ETimes commended the film for its sincerity and inherent charm. The critique noted, "With Love doesn't reinvent the romantic genre. It follows a conventional narrative pattern but discovers genuine charm through its likeable lead performances, Sean Roldan’s vibrant musical score, and a lovely supporting ensemble."
The review particularly highlighted Abishan Jeevinth's debut lead performance, stating, "Abishan, in his inaugural leading role, does complete justice to the boy-next-door character. His unassuming screen presence effectively softens the portrayal of Sathya, a role that might have appeared off-putting if interpreted by another actor."
Regarding Anaswara Rajan's contribution, the critic added, "Anaswara delivers a wonderful performance. She executes both emotional and serious moments with natural ease and complete absence of exaggeration, demonstrating remarkable acting maturity."
The film represents a significant milestone for director Madhan and lead actor Abishan Jeevinth, both making their feature film debuts in substantial capacities. As the entertainment industry awaits official confirmation from Netflix, With Love continues to be a talking point for its traditional yet heartfelt approach to romance and the promising debut performances at its core.
