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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Its a Shaker Kammula movie again he proved he is the only person in telugu movie industry can do such a beautiful feel good movies .... extraordinary screenplay amazing direction, must watch family drama love story ... dont miss it.

The director has run out of ideas for the climax.

First half was OK. Second half only sarangi song.

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.

I'm totally in love wid this "love story"!sai pallavi as usual super acting n chaitu is always osm.im eagerly waited for this film! It is totally reached my expectations overall family entertainer!loved the music must watch movie.......

None of the people involveds best work. I hardly noticed deviyani until the end - a slight insult to the actress she really is. Sai pallabi has had better movies. And sekhar kammula has made much better, less flashier movies.

Not a proper story and not worth the hype movie is receiving. It seems like purposely promoting one religion and defaming one. Instead director should've shown, how they are fooling & converting people. Director should thank to Music Director and Lyricist for bringing this movie to the hype.

Probably director lost his script 30 years back, and might have found in his own backyard digging, when nothing else to do in corona times. What a waste if energy from actors. Music is good, acting is good, but story is from stone ages. Slow and boring. 6 stars for music and lead pair chemistry.

There is so much lag in movie, which can be managed better by Shekhar Kammula . As you see Fidaa, there is no lag and each and every minute is used. I didn't think he used the time properly and I felt so slow movie. More scenes and speed would have incorporated in this movie.

This film has Sekhar kammula sir's heartfelt, warm and genuine moments backed up by two beautiful performances and a great soundtrack. The love story is genuine and simple, without any bells and whistles, extravaganza of a commercial plot. Although the climax felt a bit rushed, the 2 key issues and malpractices in today's society have been dealt very well. Love Revanth, Mounica and Sekhar kammula.

Highlights : Music and Chemistry Between lead pair

Drawbacks : Routine Storyline, Poor interwel bang and l worst climax. Overall, Love Story is a well-intentioned movie with good casting.

My Rating 6.5/10.

Screenplay... Direction... Actors.... Story.... a feel good movie after happy days. 😍

Sekhar kamula was Extradnary, Screen presence , dailogue writting , he is good work and worthy work. Coming To the performences Naga Chaitanya was Actor in this film He's dailogue was sooo Good.

Sai Pallavi was good in her role buy dance man What ey dance..? She's dancing like peacock wow..!

She nailed. Music was backbone of this film. DOP was nice other characters good her roles...!

Overall movie was magica.. 😊

Low pace film ,the story did not stick to plot ,and the green screen visuals if you do not have budget then don't shoot in green screen, it was so irritating to see low budget vfx how can i feel the emotion of scene when it does't look real , in conclusion i say mistake of director's narration and vfx ,only actors did their work nicely.

Still underrated in imdb bcz very bad movies are getting good rating now a days... & This one have to be around 8.6-9 Great acting Great dancing Well directed well made Emotional touches Saii pallavi & Naga best acting Great script selection Saii pallavi mammm Talented saii pallavi nailed it.

Good attempt by shekhar but he could not handle entire script , in mid way he was lost strong points for Chaithu.. since majili he is on progressive track... he is opening up and will do far better in coming future... he may shut critics comments on his acting skills...

okay but could have handled better...

Watched the movie on OTT. I'm fortunate that I saved Rs.1000. I thought 1st half was routine and boring. But shockingly, 2nd half was even routine and missing the essence and plot point. If these kind of movies are touted as successful movies, we get to watch only these kind of substandard movies. Industry needs honest feedbacks so that better movies are made. Wish SK good luck and hope for a better flic from him in future.

The story is another version of the regular social agenda of love and marriage between an upper class girl and lower class guy. The movie deserves credit for addressing the issue of child sexual abuse by a family member. By using killing to deliver justice or closure, it failed to create the impact made in Monsoon Wedding (2001).
