My review: Routine Love Story
"Routine Love Story" is a romantic comedy from Praveen Sattaru who's debut flick "LBW" was critically acclaimed and well received by the audience. What could have been a really nice take on the current generation's perception of falling in love and making it work is watered down by really ridiculous and childish comical elements. The main plot of the love-hate-love relationship between the lead pair is portrayed realistically and interestingly.
Though it is christened "Routine Love Story" the screenplay is fresh. The initial pact that the lead pair get into about knowing each other before falling in love and when they realize that they have fallen in love with each other(which is shown not as a moment but a process that happens over a period of time) are shown like how it happens in the lives of current generation's youngsters.
Movie's biggest plus is the lead pair and their crackling chemistry. Sundeep Kishan and Regina Cassandra have done their parts to perfection. Especially Regina is excellent. She comes across as a natural performer and she looks damn cute too. Sundeep has also done his part well. The trio who play his friends are first-class while the comedy team led by M.N.Narayana are let down by juvenile writing.
Micky J Meyers' music is good though it reminds of many of his previous compositions. Suresh Bharghav's cinematography is adequate and the movie as a whole is technically okay, could have been better.
Praveen Sattaru who came into prominence with his previous movie has tried to live up to the name with his second venture too. He has tried to repeat with the concept which he seems to be comfortable with in his second venture too. He does succeeds to some extent. He could have tightened up his script a bit more and should have done away with those irritatingly poor sequences involving the heroine's family. Then it would have become as memorable as his first one.
On the whole, "Routine love story" merits a one time watch mainly for the lead pair's chemistry which lights up the screen.
Bottomline: Routine rom-com
3/5
