Love Today is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film directed by Pradeep Ranganathan and produced by AGS Entertainment. The film stars Pradeep (in his debut as lead actor), alongside Ivana, Raveena Ravi, Yogi Babu, Sathyaraj, Radhika Sarathkumar, Akshaya Udayakumar, Prathana Nathan, Adithya Kathir and Aajeedh Khalique. It is an adaptation of Pradeep's short film App(a) Lock (2020). The film follows a youngster who must swap his phone with his girlfriend for 24 hours before their marriage under the command of the girl's suspicious father.

The film was officially announced in October 2021 under the tentative title AGS 22, as it is the production banner's 22nd venture, and the official title was announced in July 2022. Principal photography commenced in December 2021. It was predominantly shot in Chennai, and wrapped by late-July 2022. The film has music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, cinematography handled by Dinesh Purushothaman, and editing by Pradeep E. Ragav.

Love Today was released theatrically on 4 November 2022. The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing ₹100 crore against a budget of ₹5 crore. Despite this, it drew criticism due to the sexist nature of the protagonists.[3] The film was remade in Hindi as Loveyapa (2025).
