Analysis

Romantic is a perfect template of Puri Jagannadh and the film reminds about his previous films. The film looks racy and is completely predictable from the first frame. The wild and the romantic love story between the lead actors Akash and Ketina will appeal to the youth. The songs are shot well and the action episodes are decent. The first half of Romantic is shot in Goa and the visuals are decent. The interval episode stands decent and the first half ends up on a good note though it is predictable. Romantic has enough stuff for the youth.

The second half too carries the pace and it is predictable. The action blocks are framed well and the songs are shot well. Akash and Ketika are the major strengths of the film and Ramya Krishna roars loud as a sincere cop. Romantic is shot across the beautiful locations of Goa and is stuffed with youthful elements. The film dips down during the pre-climax episodes and the climax is emotional. The performances of Akash and Ketika during the climax portions are exceptional and the film ends up on a happy note. If you are a lover of Puri Jaganandh's films, Romantic will impress you for sure.
