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

AR Rahman Rumored for Chiranjeevi’s Mega158
January 7, 2026
When Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman was brought on for Ram Charan’s Peddi, opinions were mixed. However, the runaway success of the song “Chikiri Chikiri”, composed by the Mozart of Madras, has changed the narrative—suggesting that many more Telugu stars could seek Rahman’s musical magic in the near future.
Strong Tollywood buzz now indicates that AR Rahman is in consideration for Megastar Chiranjeevi’s next project, tentatively titled #Mega158, to be directed by KS Bobby, famed for Waltair Veerayya. If this collaboration materializes, it would mark the first-ever official partnership between Chiranjeevi and AR Rahman.
Interestingly, the idea isn’t entirely new. Back in the 90s, had Chiranjeevi accepted S. Shankar’s Oke Okkadu, Rahman’s compositions could have entered his filmography. However, when Shankar’s Gentleman was remade in Hindi, the original Rahman tunes were retained, but it didn’t count as a direct collaboration with Chiranjeevi.
Now, after Ram Charan’s “Chikiri Chikiri” became a pan-India chartbuster, crossing 200 million views on YouTube across all languages, Rahman’s unique ability to blend rooted Indian sounds with global sensibilities has made him a hot choice in Telugu cinema.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see if the Chiru–Rahman combo will finally become a reality, potentially creating a historic musical moment in Tollywood.
