In Miss You, Vasudevan (Siddharth), an aspiring filmmaker, gets into the crosshairs of a powerful minister, resulting in a nasty car accident that leaves him with a loss of memory. Vasu forgets everything that has happened in his life in the last 2 years, and how the story drips information to fill this gaping void is the biggest draw of Rajasekar’s story.

If little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me, do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you,” goes a stirring verse in Chilean poet Pablo Neruda’s ‘If You Forget Me.’ N Rajasekar’s romance drama Miss You claims to be peppered with inspirations of Neruda; the poet inspires the protagonist, a filmmaker, to write a story, and even the trailer cut draws the film’s story as inspired by a Neruda poem. From this information and the title, you might naturally expect a poignant exploration of love, falling out of love, loss, longing, and the fear of being forgotten, but Miss You is anything but that. Starring Siddharth and Ashika Ranganath as a mismatched couple, Miss You is a predictable two-hour episode that goes after low-hanging fruits and offers forgettable returns

Vasu meets Subbulakshmi A.K.A Subbu (Ashika) on a random trip to Bengaluru and immediately falls for Subbu’s rebelliousness (she fights for pro-hijab, and we hear a song that goes ‘Mehrooba’, but she isn’t a Muslim; an ironic cop-out for a film that speaks of rebelliousness). Vasu’s attempts to woo her range from creepy to cringe, but we are expected not to judge him because she pays no heed to his antics, and it gets revealed — drum roll — that he’s after someone he has forgotten but is sub-consciously enamoured by. What had transpired between Vasu and Subbu, whether Vasu figures it out, and whether the couple gets together makes up the rest of the story.
