Love Story

RATED 8/10 Language: Telugu RECOMMENDED

Nice romantic drama with hurried climax... the cast, characterisation and dialogs are so good that saves the film in most of the places... It was so enjoyable and entertaining till the climax... The climax and last 15 mins are giving Tv serial feeling and its so hurried... I enjoyed so much except the last 15 mins.

Don't know why Shekar Kammula placed different concepts in one single movie. Love is 25% other emotions are 75%. Unusual and boring scenes were many. Good thing is Naga Chaitanya improved in Dancing and acting. Telangana slang not apt to him but ok. Dancing episodes are so boring and dragging.

When the lead actors show full chemistry, the movie will be a breeze to watch. Sai Pallavi is among the best actors of this generation, who could convert an ordinary script into superlative viewing pleasure, in perfect partnership with Naga Chaitanya's simple and unassuming presence. Sekhar Kammula, the director, picks the context so beautifully well and delivers a hard-hitting message about the most unreported family crimes behind closed doors. Music and dance, designed to delight the discerning audience. "Sarangadhariya" dance sequence, is an impossible feat. How did Sai pull it off so well .... Watch the moview NOW ....

Revanth(Naga Chaithanya) is a low caste man who has a passion for dancing opens a small zumba dance centre in the city. Mounika(Sai Pallavi) is a high caste girl who comes to the city for a job and to escape from her authoritative uncle narasimham(rajeev kanakala). Mouni has a passion for dancing and when she joins revanth's dance centre as instructor, their business prospers. Later both of them fall in love. Rest of the film is whether their love triumphs or not through the caste difference.

Recent tamil films have shown caste differences in a raw, intense and brutal manner. But shekhar kammula showcases it in a lighter vein. I never liked naga chaithanya on screen. But in this he was convincing and bearable as you feel only the character. Sai pallavi is always great. Rajeev kanakala delivers a slapworthy performance as narasimham.

Drawbacks i felt was the production values. There are few sequences where revanth and mouni drink tea near the teashop of a bridge which is clearly shown as green screen. Another drawback is the climax is rushed because of the excessive runtime. The chartbuster saranga dariya was placed in a bad manner.

On the whole, love story shows a sensitive topic in a lighthearted manner.

The director has run out of ideas for the climax.

First half was OK. Second half only sarangi song.
