Story:
Surya (Aata Sandeep), a dance choreographer is married to Poorna (Jyoti Raj) and has a daughter. But he has an extramarital love story with his dance student Sushma (Prachi Thaker). Surya constantly keeps struggling to justify his loyalty in his love relationship with both the girls. What is his journey all about? Who will he choose towards the end? Needs to be seen in the film.
What about on-screen performances?
Aata Sandeep is just about fine with his act. He looks very artificial in a few scenes. He needs to improve a lot with his dialogue delivery and body language especially.
Prachi Thaker also is not-so-impressive with her performance. She looked glamorous on screen and that’s about it.
Divya Dekate who plays the female best friend of the hero is not up to the mark while Abhay Bethiganti who plays the male best friend of the hero is pretty decent in his part.
Jyoti Raj is the better one of the lead actors. Though she seems to be a bit loud in the opening scenes, she does well in the emotional parts.
All the rest of the cast are pretty ordinary in their respective limited portions.
What about off-screen talents?
The story by Yogee Qumaar has nothing fresh to offer. The concept of having an extramarital affair after a marriage has been seen in many films in the past, and the plot only manages to give you tons of boring messages on love through some senseless discussions on relationships.
The screenplay too is very tiring. The narrative never keeps us engaged in the plot and the scenes are too lengthy with unnecessarily long dialogues that bores us big time. These lengthy dialogues/conversations are the major drawback of the film.
Director Yogee Qumaar’s inexperience in handling the craft can clearly be seen in the way he narrated the film and the way he extracted performances from his lead cast. He should have concentrated more on coming up with a crisper screenplay with a much more fast-paced narrative.
The camera work by Shyam Thummalapalli is very basic and the framing isn’t up to the mark.
The editing by Anil Jallu needed to be crisper. Almost about 20 minutes in the film could have been easily chopped off.
The songs by Saketh Komanduri too don’t offer anything special. Pretty ordinary stuff with the background score as well.
What’s Hot?
* Nothing To Be Precise
What’s Not?
* Overdose Of Dialogues
* Very Badly Written Conversations
* Too Lengthy Scenes
* Half Baked Characterizations
* Poor Direction
Verdict: Love You Too is a tedious romantic drama about having a love story even after marriage. Though the concept goes well with today’s times, the execution is a complete mess with underwhelming performances & boring narrtive.
