Oy!

Siddharth is excellent as Uday. His costumes and goggles are very nice. He made sure that he wore goggles for 80% of his screen appearance (including songs). His dances in songs are energetic. Shamili is pretty good with acting, though her looks are strictly average. They should have managed the dark circles around eyes with good make-up. It may be a sheer coincidence for Shamili to again act as a patient in her debut film as a heroine.

This film is inspired by Erich Segal's novel 'Love Story' which was made into a classic 'Love Story'. Johnny by Pawan Kalyan is also inspired by the same movie.

The first half of the movie is dedicated for introducing the characteristics of the two main leads and the way they fall in love. The illness of heroine is revealed to hero much before the interval. The entire second half is dedicated to the boy fulfilling the wishes of the girl.

Analysis: First half of the movie is decent. Second half is lengthy and is dragging at times. The climax is predictable and is not heart-touching. The plus points of the movie are Siddharth, music and cinematography. One should have guts to make such a film in Telugu where heroine dies at the end.

Great 👌 movie in Siddharth carrier. I love a lot asalu bore kotadhu eni sarlu chusina but movie endhuku super hit avaledho.i always confused on it. The movie length is to high but still u feel apuday ayipoyindha ani.cant express more than this.must watch film for everyone in their life atleast once.

Movie states ' live life happily and be the one who makes other happy '.

Eric Segal's "Love Story" if I dare say is an immemorial classic, even a couple of decades down the line the chances are pretty slim for the essence to be diluted. The director deserves due credit to imbibe the essence of localise it to suit the taste. Of course, it goes without saying that Siddharth must have contributed heavily to the proceedings.

Siddharth: As usual he gives pours his heart and soul into the character.

Shamili: The cute li'il "Anjali" definitely has blossomed into a beautiful flower. Undoubtedly she has given her best to get into the skin of the girl-next-door and strikes chord with the audience at an instant.

The screenplay keep the audience enthused with the narrative flow even though there would be a feeling that the sub-plots are more of a stocking filler ie. Suneel's insurance track, Ali's & Master's real- estate track, Pradeep Rawat's track and the happening on the ship. The melodrama towards the end was a bit Over-the-top and trimming was warranted. The songs have a fresh appeal and one of the strongest points of the movie. The director Anand Ranga has managed to hold reigns in all departments quite well.

"Ankhiyon Ke Jharakon Se" & "Khwahish" are the two names that were directly inspired by Love Story. Of course as a reference one can add "Anand" and "Geetanjali"(or "Yaad Rakhegi Duniya") to the list.

In the opening credit the director puts a disclaimer that like millions he is too inspired by "Love Story", so the Eric Segal fans don't need a deja vŭ to guess the proceedings. And for the audience for whom the name doesn't ring a bell, "Oyi" might be a good taster session.
