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

Suriya’s Karuppu Faces Fresh Release Trouble Amid TN Political Drama

May 7, 2026

Suriya’s long-delayed film Karuppu has once again landed in uncertainty despite finally locking a release date. The movie, which has been surrounded by postponements, rumours, and production delays for months, is currently scheduled for a grand theatrical release on May 14. However, the ongoing political turmoil in Tamil Nadu is now creating fresh doubts about whether the film will actually arrive as planned.

The concerns intensified after director RJ Balaji revealed that the trailer release itself had been delayed due to the tense political situation in the state.

Initially, Karuppu was planned for a Diwali release last year, but the makers postponed it because production formalities were not completed on time. The team later targeted Pongal, only to delay it once again due to pending CG work. Eventually, the makers decided on a summer release after the Tamil Nadu assembly election results, expecting political stability to return by then.

Unfortunately, the current political uncertainty has once again placed the film in a difficult position. With Vijay’s TVK reportedly still unable to form the government and political discussions dominating the state, the atmosphere remains tense even days after the election results were announced.

With only a week left for release, the makers now face a crucial decision. If the political situation settles quickly and a new government is formed soon, Karuppu may release on May 14 as scheduled. Otherwise, another postponement seems likely, which could become a major setback for the project after multiple delays already weakened the film’s buzz.

Directed by RJ Balaji, Karuppu features Trisha, Indrans, Natty, Swasika, and Sshivada in key roles. The film is produced by SR Prakash Babu and SR Prabhu under the Dream Warrior Pictures banner. Music is composed by Sai Abhyankkar, cinematography is handled by GK Vishnu, and editing is done by R Kalaivanan.
