Love Per Square Foot is a 2018 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Anand Tiwari and produced by Ronnie Screwvala, under his newly established banner RSVP Movies. The film, which stars Vicky Kaushal and Angira Dhar in the lead roles, is about Sanjay and Kareena who try to find a house in Mumbai. They do not have enough money to earn individually, in order to buy a home, so they enter into a marriage of convenience.
Anand Tiwari who wrote the script in 2010, along with Sumeet Vyas, was intended to be made into a dark film, later they chose to make it as a romantic comedy film. The shooting of the film took place across Mumbai, within 50 days, during December 2016 and January 2017, whereas post-production works were completed within three months. Anand Bajpai composed the background score, along with Sohail Sen, while Sohail Sen composing the film's soundtrack. The film's cinematography was handled by Avinash Arun and editing done by Sanyukta Kaza.
Originally scheduled for a theatrical release, Anand Tiwari eventually sent the film's final cut to the executives of Netflix India, who approved to release the film online. Thus it became the first Indian film to be released directly on a streaming platform.[1][2] Billed as the first Indian original film from Netflix, Love Per Square Foot released directly through the streaming platform on 14 February 2018, to coincide with the Valentine's Day.[3] The film was screened at the Beijing International Film Festival, held in China in April 2019.[4]
