He starts the first half in an interesting manner and ensures that the scenes in the first half sails off smoothly with entertaing and hilarious scenes bringing a decent end to the proceedings.
This set the tone for the increased expectations on the second half. He manages to continue in the same vein but increase in emotional scenes brought down the entertaining elements. To the top of it, the narration pace dips down and this impacted the overall output. Screenplay is decent and uni dimensional and there are few predictable elements. The climax however turns out to be a disappointment as it ends in an inconclusive manner.
The cinematography of Harsha Vardhan K is good. He showed the scenes in a natural away showing the life of Bengaluru quite well. The music of Anand Rajavikram is good. His background music added value to the proceedings. The editing of Sharath Kumar is ok but could have been better especially in the second half. Dialogues are entertaining to a point and production values are good.

The concept has been touched upon by various filmmakers earlier but he managed to entertain viewers to some extent in the first half with hilarious scenes that worked out well. But the emotions in the second half and the predictable elements ended up testing the patience of the viewers. A little novelty in the script and few entertaining scenes would have been added value to the narration. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Love OTP.
