== Reception ==
K. N. Venkatasubba Rao of ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote that "Though Mayur Patel has given his best as the hero, it is Srinagar Kitty as the villain who succeeds in registering his histrionic potential on a par with those artistes who played that role in original Telugu and Hindi films".<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.hindu.com/2005/11/27/stories/2005112702460200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061116080910/http://www.hindu.com/2005/11/27/stories/2005112702460200.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 November 2006 |title=A frame-to-frame remake of Marocharitra |last=Venkatasubba Rao |first=K.N. |date=27 November 2005 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=25 January 2014}}</ref> R. G. Vjayasarathy of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' said that "Being a faithful adaptation, some sequences of the film are well-narrated. But if outstanding performances were one of the main features of the original, except for a few artists like Mayur Patel, Komal and Pramila Joshai, the others fail to deliver in this remake".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2005/nov/28love.htm|title=Love Story: Poor copy of a classic|date=28 November 2005|work=[[Rediff.com]]|first=R.
