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

Ram Charan vs Jr NTR Fans Over Box Office

June 15, 2026

The box office rivalry between Ram Charan’s Peddi and Jr NTR’s Devara has now escalated into one of Tollywood’s most intense fan wars.

Released on June 4, 2026, Peddi has reportedly collected around Rs 193 crore net in India within nine days. The makers are confident that the rural sports drama is heading towards the Rs 350 crore mark worldwide.

However, Jr NTR fans have been quick to compare these numbers with Devara, which reportedly ended its theatrical run with worldwide collections of around Rs 428 crore.

Ram Charan fans argue that Peddi has shown stronger consistency in several centres across the Telugu states. According to them, the film has posted better multiplex numbers in cities like Hyderabad and Nizamabad while also maintaining steady collections over a longer period.

On the other hand, Jr NTR fans point out that Devara enjoyed a much bigger reach in markets such as Hindi-speaking regions, Karnataka and North America. The film reportedly earned nearly $3.79 million in North America on its opening day alone, whereas Peddi is said to have collected around $3.23 million there after nine days.

This overseas advantage has become a major talking point among Devara supporters.

Meanwhile, Peddi fans insist that sustained collections and strong local performance are equally important indicators of success. In contrast, Jr NTR fans maintain that worldwide reach and lifetime box-office numbers are the ultimate benchmarks.

As expected, the debate has gone beyond collections, with both fan groups accusing each other of inflated figures, corporate bookings and self-sponsored ticket purchases.

With Peddi still continuing its theatrical run, the final verdict is yet to emerge. But one thing is already evident — while Ram Charan and Jr NTR created history together with RRR, their fans are currently engaged in one of the fiercest box-office battles Tollywood has witnessed in recent years.
