Chennai Love Story FIRST Review: Kiran Abbavaram, Sri Gouri Priya Shine in an Emotional Romantic Drama

Chennai Love Story blends romance, heartbreak and emotional healing into a touching drama.

Kiran Abbavaram and Sri Gouri Priya deliver impressive performances as Steven Shankar and Nivi.

The story follows Nivi's journey after her wedding is called off, her alcohol addiction, and her move to Chennai where she meets Steven.

Director Ravi Namburi's debut film has strong emotional storytelling but a slightly uneven second half and a less satisfying climax.

Sri Gouri Priya excels in conveying pain and vulnerability through expressions in close-up shots.
