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

Akhanda 2 Opens Strong Despite Delays, Crosses ₹40 Cr on Day One
December 13, 2025
Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 finally hit theatres this week with grand premieres after facing multiple delays that had dampened pre-release expectations. Despite mixed reviews, the film has surprised trade circles by registering a strong opening at the box office.
According to early trade estimates, Akhanda 2 collected over ₹40 crore gross worldwide on its opening day. With premiere show revenues included, the total is expected to cross the ₹50 crore mark, though official figures from the producers are still awaited. The film has witnessed an especially robust response in B and C centres, reaffirming Balakrishna’s enduring mass appeal.
While comparisons with the first instalment and criticism have surfaced, the sequel appears to be resonating well with its core audience. The film’s mass moments and devotional undertones are emerging as key strengths.
However, collections from dubbed versions in other languages have fallen short of initial expectations. Despite some promotional efforts in the Hindi belt, outreach in other regions remained limited. That said, the film’s Dharma-centric and Hindutva themes could help draw increased interest from North Indian audiences in the coming days.
With the weekend ahead, Akhanda 2 is well placed to post solid gains at the box office. Directed by Boyapati Srinu, the film is produced by 14 Reels Plus Entertainment.
