Cute Lovestory

Warning: Spoilers
Story - Story is somewhat similar to Maniratnam's classic "Mounaragam". In the sense, both movies are based on the point that when you got to spend some nice time with a person, whom you actually hate, you'll fall in love with him/her. Just some romantic moments are needed. While "Mounaraagam" goes on a serious note and has a subplot (Karthik- Revathy story), this goes on lighter note without any subplots.

Performances - Allu Arjun is adequate in his role. He does go overboard many times, but still he is decent on a whole. Genelia is superb. She got a role which demands lot of emotions and Genelia comes out with flying colors. Manoj Bajpai is good in his little cameo. Kishore as the revenge seeking police officer is nice. Deepak Shirke is fine as heroine's father. Tanikella Bharani, Brahmandam and hero's friends gang acted well.

Story-Screenplay-Direction - Story is nice though it slightly resembles "Mounaraagam". Screenplay is what made the difference. It is very gripping. Direction is superb except for the last scene. Karunakaran's strengths have always been cute romantic scenes, sweet nothings, nice montages and light heartedness and he sticks to his strengths even in this film and the output is just superb.

Music & Background Score - Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is okay. "Egire Mabbulalona" is fantastic. All other songs are just about okay. But he covers it up with excellent background score. He takes the film to a whole new level with his exceptional background score. This is easily one of his best works in scoring department.

Others - Cinematography is nice. Editing is fine. Dialogues are nice.

Finally this is a nice romantic comedy you'd definitely love to watch. The plus points of this film are lighter vein nature, background score, Genelia's performance and feel good moments. This is a film that oozes positivity. Minus point is bad climax. If you could excuse the climax, you can enjoy this clean entertainer.
