Love Story follows the story of a guy and a girl who happen to fall in love after moving to the big city. The story may not be very novel but it certainly has a lot of emotions and effervescence that are key ingredients for a love story. The screenplay standing at more than 150 minutes might seem daunting but it truely passes off like a breeze. The first few minutes is a build up and gives us a sneak peek into the childhood of the protagonist up until his journey to the big city. And slowly with the introduction of the other protagonist, the love story begins and you know that you are in for a treat. The sensitivity and frothy texture against a light hearted yet impactful narrative is just so amazing to watch. Even some of the social evils including a serious act of crime is delicately tackled. It is usually at the halfway mark where films like these generally derail with the focus shifting on the families and their backgrounds. But this is where the film scores. After a brief note on the parents in the village the film again shifts its base to the main city. The dramatic last 30 minutes(sometimes melodramatic too) is when the tension is built up with subtle twists culminating into a final act which was good but a tad too simple and rushed. It almost seemed as if the writers were running out of time and they just looked to end it. But overall a brilliant screenplay that leaves in several places with a smile on your face.
