Love Story is a 2005 Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film directed by Bharathi Kannan.

This film is a remake of Maro Charitra (1978) and is about the love between a Hindi man and Kannada woman.

[3][4] 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".

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".

[6] A critic from Viggy said that "If you watch Love Story without comparing it with its original (Kamal's performance or Balachandar's direction), you surely will enjoy the film and those melodious songs".
