All Guild Reviews of "Chennai Love Story"
Attempts and Fails to Transcend Its Conservative, Weepy DNA
The Chennai in this sentimental romance becomes a stock backdrop—a temple here, a beach there, a train here, a church there, with neither the texture of the city nor its unique chaos.
Love can’t possibly be that bad. Though every time someone proposes in Chennai Love Story—twice, really, but it feels like two times too much—the characters weep as though handed a diagnosis of terminal illness. Their bodies heave, struck by anxiety. They turn away from the lover proclaiming love. They can’t stop crying. Love, really, must be that bad.
Sri Gouri Priya Is Terrific in a Film That Loses Steam Midway
Director Ravi Namburii and writer-producer Sai Rajesh’s emotional narrative gets off to a great start, only to squander its potential
It is unfair to analyse a film as two halves. In the case of debut director Ravi Namburii’s Telugu film Chennai Love Story, however, it becomes inevitable. Sai Rajesh, who has written the story, screenplay and produced the film, introduces a twist at the mid-point that changes how the audience is likely to perceive the film. Everything from this point depends on whether one gives in to an idea that defies logic and what it entails, even if the story thankfully ends on a pragmatic note.
