Shekar Kamula's story that has more than just love.

Lately, it has become a rarity to see simple, slice-of-life films that effortlessly show the ultimate reality of social existence. Love Story attempts to do that against clean narration and accomplishes the task without complaints. (more)

Sekhar Kammula delivers a heart-touching ode to love

Love Story is not a film without its flaws though. In an otherwise realistic film, Uttej�s character makes a plan so outlandish to help the couple it almost makes you laugh out loud. But then again, it makes it clear that such drastic measures are needed. The climax too gives in to help Revanth get his heroic moment, even if for a few minutes.(more)

Naga Chaitanya's film on forbidden romance is moving

Love Story is breezy and it treads a very familiar path. But there's a very disturbing sub-plot about sexual harassment within a family. Sekhar Kammula examines the definition of honour in such situations. The rushed climax is a bit of a letdown but despite that, Love Story is Sekhar Kammula's most complete film yet(more)

Sensible and Mature

One of the biggest assets of the film is the maturity in the love story. This film is not a regular boy meets girl romance and touches upon some of the darkest issues like caste, gender inequality, and rape. Sai Pallavi gets a new dimension in her role and is superb as Mounika. The manner in which she goes through turmoil and how it affects the love story is showcased so well by the noted actress. Eshwari Rao is also amazing as Chay�s mother and elevates the proceedings.(more)
