Tollywood’s latest youth drama, Little Hearts, has received a mixed review from Mandava Sai Kumar on In News Live. The film stars YouTuber-turned-actor Mouli in the lead role, but despite his hard work, the reviewer expressed disappointment with the overall outcome.
Repetitive Storyline
Sai Kumar criticized the movie’s repetitive college romance plot, stating that audiences are tired of the same old formula. He pointed out that the story felt more like a web series stretched into a film, leaving viewers confused about its identity.
“Nibba-Nibbi” Love Story
The reviewer was blunt in calling the film an immature “nibba-nibbi love story” centered on teenage romance and college life. According to him, the narrative lacked freshness and failed to keep the audience engaged.
Rating & Respect for Mouli
Initially, Sai Kumar rated the movie 2 out of 5, but later revised it to 3 out of 5 as a mark of respect for Mouli’s journey — from a small YouTuber to a lead actor on the big screen. He appreciated Mouli’s effort, even if the film itself fell short.
Call to Support Small Films
Despite his criticism, Sai Kumar encouraged viewers to watch and support the film, emphasizing the importance of backing small-budget movies and new talent. He highlighted that only with audience encouragement can fresh talent like Mouli thrive in the Telugu film industry.
Conclusion
Little Hearts may not have impressed Mandava Sai Kumar with its storytelling, but his review reflects both honest criticism and appreciation for the efforts of upcoming actors. It is a reminder that while content is king, audience support is vital for nurturing the next generation of talent.
