Release and reception
Love was released on 9 July 2004. The film was dubbed and released in Telugu as Prema Nagar and in Malayalam as Hey Taxi.
The reviewer for Deccan Herald called the film "a disappointing fare" and criticized its plot. Of the acting performances, they wrote, "Actingwise, Adithya has put in good efforts. There is nothing much to say about Rakshitha's performance as she has done similar roles earlier. Arun Sagar in the role of Amrish Puri's son is wasted." The reviewer concluded writing, "Camerawork gets noticed particularly in Banaras and Dubai desert scenes. Anu Malik's musical score has nothing new. The only songs by A R Rahman's were good."[8] Sify wrote "This is a big budget film shot in the picturesque locales of Varanasi, Dubai and other exotic locations on a lavish scale. The songs, cinematography and actions are well conceived but the director has not given any importance to the story which is predictable and banal".[9]
