After creating a storm at the Tamil Nadu box office and emerging as a sleeper hit in Tollywood, Pradeep Ranganathan’s Love Today was released in its Telugu version this Friday. The film received widespread acclaim for its unique take on modern relationships and received great box office returns. Seeing the unanimously positive response in Kollywood, Dil Raju decided to release the movie in Telugu states. Let’s see if it has enough to entertain the Telugu audience as well

Ivana looks great on the screen and has done a good job overall. Sathyaraj, as always is dependable and provides great maturity to the proceedings. His role in this rom-com is one of its highlights and kudos to the casting director for choosing Sathyaraj. Other characters like Radhika Sarathkumar, Yogi Babu provide the perfect fodder for the proceedings
