    Shekar Kammula's Meta-Narrative is "TOUCH"ing!!!
    Love Story is set in Hyderabad whose most famous love story is that of Quli Qutub Shah who swam across a river during flood times to save the love of his life, Bhagmati. This love story is between people who are from two different religions and social positions, and the only thing binding them is love. Hyderabad's foundation is built on love. Therefore the love story buds and grows in Hyderabad. And we are lured by it.

    Real story surfaces when the couple realizes that they are unequal and even if they want to live together, it won't end well for their families. And here chaitanya's character has more to lose. Because since childhood he resented his unequal status and faced many hardships to create whatever he has now.

    One beautiful aspect of this movie is how it deals with "TOUCH". For sai pallavi's character physical touch reminds her of the atrocity she faced as a child. For Chaitanya's character, being from a lower caste his touch is always considered impure. And beauty of writing comes out in a scene when he touches her, she feels discomfort even though she knows his touch is not intentional and he feels sorry as well as angry when she reprimands him, but he cannot show.

    They both carry a lot of emotional baggage in this movie. Which is why when heroine KISSES hero, it had a huge impact. And he cries when she kisses conveys the acceptance he feels of both her love and society as a whole. HIM BEING UNTOUCHABLE ALL HIS LIFE IS WIPED OFF WITH THAT TEARDROP.

    This is most mature writing I have seen from any Telugu director in recent times. Many questions were raised that we overlook in our day-to-day lives like What is Masculinity? How can child abuse affect their education? How can drinking father drains his child's security into gutter? Is his father's drinking habit root cause of all her problems? OR Is it the voyeuristic nature of a human mind? How can discrimination make you insecure? And when will you be free of that insecurity? Maybe never!!

    My only concern is due to this heavy lifting, somehow the atrocity faced by sai pallavi's character took a backseat till the penultimate portion of the movie. And the movie redeems its mistake with the powerful performance of Devayani (sai pallavi's mother) in a single scene in the climax.
