Love Insurance Kompany or LIK, is a Tamil language science fiction romantic comedy film directed by Vignesh Shivan and starring Pradeep Ranganathan, Krithi Shetty and S. J. Suryah. The romance is mixed with a futuristic world, where technology has already infiltrated people’s relationships. It is scheduled to be released in theatres on April 10, 2026, following several changes of its release date. The movie gained a lot of popularity due to its unconventional plot and the stellar career of Pradeep Ranganathan as a movie producer after Love Today, Dragon and Dude. But the critics and audiences were not all on board with LIK, and this had a dampening impact on its theatrical momentum.
It started with a decent performance as it made around ₹6.85 crore India net on the first day and about ₹9.93 crore worldwide.

LIK: Love Insurance Kompany Storyline
In an alternative future where technology shapes the way people love and relate, Vibe Vassey, a young man, is convinced of traditional, and true, love. A sudden change occurs in his life when he gets into a relationship with Dheema, who shares a similar world view with the technologically advanced surrounding world.
The main characters are the powerful system called LIK, which tries to predict, control and secure romantic relationships using technology. Vibe is drawn into this strange new world, and he is torn between his convictions in the power of natural love and a system that makes love a business calculated affair. But there’s a lot more to Vibe’s journey, as suriyan, a powerful figure connected with the love futuristic world, also adds some complexities.
Combining romance with comedy and science fiction, the movie asks if technology can really comprehend love — or if real feelings can ever be beat out of a computer or calculation.
LIK: Love Insurance Kompany Budget & Box Office Collection
Sources on the box-office circuit report that LIK: Love Insurance Kompany was reportedly made on a shoestring budget of approximately ₹60 crore. The movie was expected to do well due to its popular cast, Vignesh Shivan’s direction and his previous commercial success, Pradeep Ranganathan. But it didn’t quite live up to the hype and after the opening week, it didn’t immediately find momentum.
Based on the reported box office figures from Sacnilk,LIK grossed around ₹43.07 crore in India and ₹60.67 crore globally at the box office. However, there is some variation in estimates between different trade trackers, with some putting the global figure in the ₹58–62 crore range. The film was said to have an ₹60-crore budget but failed to make it big in theatres and was widely termed as a commercial miss.
Final Thoughts
Love Insurance Kompany (LIK) is an innovative Tamil romantic comedy film that attempts to bring the concept of love into a futuristic, technology-filled universe. Vignesh Shivan’s idea is unique and the trio of Pradeep Ranganathan, Krithi Shetty and S. J. Suryah have the star power to make the movie interesting. The film’s lukewarm critical and audience response, however, did not help its soaring opening numbers translate into extended runaway success. The film is estimated to have grossed approximately ₹58–60 crore worldwide after the theatre run, and then ₹9.93 crore on day one of its worldwide release. In short, LIK is more interesting for its original idea and futuristic appearance than for its popularity in the theatre.
