'I Love Thane' starts off shakily, with Saiba, played by Masaba Gupta, searching through dating websites for a soulmate, who is modern enough to accept her with all her shortcomings, but it gets better once she comes across Parth played by Ritwik Bhowmik. Ritwik is a wonderful talent, and yet again he has nailed to perfection the calm and composed character of Parth, an introvert, who might be considered old fashioned by many, but in reality is much more open minded than most men who pretend to be modern. Masaba Gupta is quite charming as Saiba; of course she still has a lot to learn as far as acting is concerned, but I have to say that as an actress she exceeded my expectations. The majority of the film consists of conversations between Parth and Saiba, but it is very engaging, so much so that by the time the film ended, I wanted to spend some more time with the two of them and explore their universe. Sometimes the best conversations are about nothing and yet you enjoy them the most because they allow you the freedom to be yourself. The relationship that develops between Saiba and Parth has a certain warmth to it, which is not often seen in movies these days. I didn't quite like the beginning of this film, but by the time it came to a conclusion, it managed to put a smile on my face.
