Love Story

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.

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.

There's no proper plot for this film...and ending too incomplete... director hyped this film so much in trailer but there's nothing serious happened as shown in it... movie was just dragged with dances and there are so many unnecessary scenes and not even one single joke was laughable...and love scenes were seemed to be forced in second half and hardly one time watchable.

Overall good movie. Its about love and equality. The characteristics of the hero is potrayed confusingly. Once he will be brave the other time he runs away. Coming to the end, the ending was abrupt. The whole movie standard droped because of the ending. The ending was so unsatisfying to watch. Unless there is Part 2.

Love Story is set in Hyderabad whose most famous love story is that of Quli Qutub Shah who swam across a river during flood times to save the love of his life, Bhagmati. This love story is between people who are from two different religions and social positions, and the only thing binding them is love. Hyderabad's foundation is built on love. Therefore the love story buds and grows in Hyderabad. And we are lured by it.

Real story surfaces when the couple realizes that they are unequal and even if they want to live together, it won't end well for their families. And here chaitanya's character has more to lose. Because since childhood he resented his unequal status and faced many hardships to create whatever he has now.

One beautiful aspect of this movie is how it deals with "TOUCH". For sai pallavi's character physical touch reminds her of the atrocity she faced as a child. For Chaitanya's character, being from a lower caste his touch is always considered impure. And beauty of writing comes out in a scene when he touches her, she feels discomfort even though she knows his touch is not intentional and he feels sorry as well as angry when she reprimands him, but he cannot show.

They both carry a lot of emotional baggage in this movie. Which is why when heroine KISSES hero, it had a huge impact. And he cries when she kisses conveys the acceptance he feels of both her love and society as a whole. HIM BEING UNTOUCHABLE ALL HIS LIFE IS WIPED OFF WITH THAT TEARDROP.

This is most mature writing I have seen from any Telugu director in recent times. Many questions were raised that we overlook in our day-to-day lives like What is Masculinity? How can child abuse affect their education? How can drinking father drains his child's security into gutter? Is his father's drinking habit root cause of all her problems? OR Is it the voyeuristic nature of a human mind? How can discrimination make you insecure? And when will you be free of that insecurity? Maybe never!!

My only concern is due to this heavy lifting, somehow the atrocity faced by sai pallavi's character took a backseat till the penultimate portion of the movie. And the movie redeems its mistake with the powerful performance of Devayani (sai pallavi's mother) in a single scene in the climax.
