Nevertheless, the ending is definitely bold. The poor placement of the much-hyped Saranga Dariya adds to the woes. Even as the lead pair confront their fears, reconcile with their haunting past, and question their own love for each other, Sekhar Kammula never really manages to make you feel empathy for them. It is disappointing that a romantic drama like Love Story fails to pack a punch with the conflict in the screenplay. The predictability of it all also takes away from Love Story. Fundamentally, the premise of Love Story is as old as Telugu cinema itself! It’s about a poor boy loving a rich girl, and the frustrations and distress that come along with it. At each template point, the story tries to take a different turn but squanders its potential by not making it engaging. The narrative moves at a sluggish pace resulting in diluting the impact of some highly dramatic scenes. The storytelling is enhanced with an intriguing background score and terrific cinematography.ĭespite starting out promisingly, the film loses steam because of the uninspired writing. The attention to the rural setting, and the characters' accents elevate the film.

Director Sekhar Kammula has changed his usual style of filmmaking and has done a commendable job with the narration. He paints quite a realistic portrayal of the disparities in society.

We are living in a world where the humiliation and discrimination of the oppressed caste, and the exploitation of women, irrespective of their caste identities, are a common sight. The film effectively takes on the dynamics of the caste disparities and some significant issues encountered by women.
