Review of Love Story

Love Story (2021)
8/10
Caste differences lite
8 December 2021
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.
