Praveen Sattaru is back with another Love entertainment flick after LBW.
Story –
Sanjay (Sundeep) and Tanvi (Regina) become friends on a condition that the latter should agree to love the former in six months. After six months feelings towards each other changes and what happens to their love story is what this film is about.
Performances –
Sundeep is natural. He is very good in the confrontation scenes with Regina. He is a decent actor with loads of confidence. Regina is the show stealer. She has good looks and can act well. This combination is a rarity in Telugu films. She can go miles if she picks right films. MS Narayana’s comedy is okay and Vennela Kishore did a cameo. Tagubothu Ramesh is fine and rest of the star cast played their parts well.
Technical Performance –  
As this is a love story, the colors are vibrant and it has cool locales. Art department and Camera department gelled well. Dialogues are alright and editing is adequate. Technical crew has been led by Mickey J Meyer’s music, which is the major asset for this film. Production values are good.
Director did a decent job in ably handling his resources. He has a different style and approach towards film and that is evident in all the scenes. His debut film scores on the content front and this one falls short of expectations, especially for the people that have seen LBW.
Analysis –
Director opened the story in a funny flashback format which is nice. Hero’s approach towards love and Heroine’s clarity have been explained well. First half races ahead until the interval point and later on it gets stuck for a while.
This is a typical story that doesn’t move ahead and fixes to a point and moves back and forth. Dealing with such subjects is a huge risk. Director challenged himself, but couldn’t come out with desired results. Last half hour of the film didn’t click as the comedy scenes and the climax backfired.
Despite the short comings, Routine Love Story scores due to the freshness in narration and good performances topped by cool musical score. Audiences who love to watch routine films with different approach can watch it. RLS appeals to young audience.
Verdict: Can be watched once

The Enduring Legacy of a Fractured Fairytale: Kamal Haasan and Sarika

June 4, 2024

Kamal Haasan and Sarika, once a celebrated couple in Indian cinema, captured hearts with their on-screen chemistry and off-screen romance. Their story, however, took a tragic turn, culminating in a highly publicized divorce.

Their journey began in 1982 on the sets of “Raj Tilak,” where their love story blossomed. Marriage followed in 1990, and the couple welcomed two daughters, Shruti Haasan and Akshara Haasan. Cracks began to appear in the facade of their seemingly perfect union, with reports suggesting a gradual decline in their relationship.

A turning point came in 2001 when Sarika reportedly fell from the terrace of their Chennai residence. While the details surrounding the incident remain unclear, it undeniably cast a shadow on their already strained marriage.

According to media reports, communication between Kamal and Sarika dwindled, leading to a state of estrangement within their own home. The once vibrant family dynamic dissolved, replaced by an atmosphere of silent tension. This culminated in their final separation, a heartbreaking decision they reached after a meeting with a mutual friend.

Following the divorce, concerns arose regarding the well-being of their daughters. In an interview, Kamal Haasan expressed his anxieties about their education and upbringing, emphasizing the importance of formal education and his commitment to support them.

Sarika, on the other hand, reportedly opted to return to acting, a career choice Kamal Haasan felt she could have pursued earlier with his support.

Over time, both Kamal and Sarika have moved forward, focusing on their respective careers. Their daughters, Shruti and Akshara, have carved their own paths in the entertainment industry.

Theirs is a story tinged with both love and loss, a reminder of the impermanence of even the most celebrated relationships. While Kamal Haasan and Sarika have moved on, their story continues to resonate within the public consciousness, serving as a cautionary tale and a testament to the enduring power of love and family.
