Director Annish Krishna's Telugu movie Lover featuring Raj Tarun and Riddhi Kumar in the lead roles, has received mixed reviews and average ratings from the audience.
As its title suggests, Lover is a romance drama with a good dose of comedy. Annish Krishna has written the script for the movie, which has been produced by Dil Raju under his banner Sri Venkateswara Creations (SVC). The movie has received a U/A certificate from the censor board and its runtime is 2.10 hour.
Lover movie story: Raj (Raj Tarun) is a customised motor-bike builder and he believes in his own way of doing things. He falls in love with a Malayali nurse (Riddhi Kumar) and it is love at fight sight for him. Love blossoms between the two. But she lands in a problem with a goon (Ajay). How Raj risks his own life to rescue her forms the crux of the story.
Analysis: Lover deals with a routine story and has hardly anything fresh to offer. The first half is all about hero's introduction and he devolpes love for heroine. Twist before the interval sets momentum for the story, but second half is predictable. The director tries to engage the viewers with comedy and other commercial ingredients, say the audience.
Performances: Raj Tarun has done his best and his comedy timing, action and dialogue dictions are the highlights of Lover. Riddhi Kumar looks cute and her chemistry with hero will strike a chord with young viewers. Ajay, Rajeev Kanakala and Subbaraju have also done great jobs, which are among the attractions of the film, say the viewers.
Technical: Lover has decent production values. Ankit Tiwari's Tanishk Bagchi and Rishi Rich's composed songs and background score, Sameer Reddy's beautiful picturisation, action choregraphy, dialogues and beautiful locales are the attractions on the technical front, add the audience.

#Lover -- (2.25/5) Mediocre in Overall...! Just Moderately Satisfied. The movie has a simple plot that doesn't have anything New. 1st half runs on few comedy tracks, 2nd goes Weak. Climax portion is Good. In all, it's just better than Raj Tharun's Previous outings.

#Lover: Regular love story told in quite routine and boring manner. So predictable. Songs are hummable, 'naalo chilipi kaala' is best of the lot.

#Lover Review - Same Old Tale Mirchi9 Rating - 2.25/5 Overall, #Lover has a few lovely moments courtesy of the songs and writing. But when seen in totality as a movie, the lack of anything new hurts it badly. #Lover is a very routine subject and the attempt to make it fresh starts from the Ananthapur background itself. The dialogue delivery and locations along with the hospital setting show the effort. However, all said and done, the actual content remains the same. #loverreview

#Lover - Routine But Partly Entertaining Positives: 1) Songs and Visuals 2) Scenes between lead pair in the first half Negatives: Age old story and execution Much better than #RajTarun's recent movies Trust #DilRaju to push this movie also to achieve HIT status
