The movie received positive reviews. 123telugu.com gave a review stating "Routine Love Story is a film which has its share of highs and lows. Fresh feel, good chemistry between the lead pair and some nice conversations are plus points. On the flip side, unnecessary and bad comedy tracks and irrelevant characters spoil the experience. Overall, RLS is a decent entertainer that will appeal to youngsters as a one time watch."[5] idlebrain.com gave a review stating "Routine Love Story departs from the routine love stories of Telugu cinema and tries to be different. The urbane youth humor makes sure that a subject of this nature is received with open arms. Praveen Sattaru who has shown sparks with his directorial debut LBW upped the ante now to reach for more audiences with a subject that appeals to both youth and urban families. You may watch Routine Love Story for humor and for an insight into relationships in changing times."[6] Oneindia Entertainment gave a review stating "Although, it is titled Routine Love Story, it has a fresh and brand new story, which has some realistic moments, which young audience can relate to their life. It is a must watch for youth."[7] apherald.com gave a review stating "A routine love story is presented in a youthful entertaining way , worth watching this weekend."[8] IndiaGlitz gave a review stating "All in all, RLS makes a beautiful movie watching experience for laic as well as discerning audiences."[9] Rediff.com gave a review stating "The film scores on account of the realism and logic despite being a commercial entertainer. The arguments and patch-ups are like everyday life but don't bore the audience. The bonding, separation, attitudes and differences between the couple are hugely believable and relatable in today's age. In that sense, the film moves in a lifelike way and not in a dream world. RLS may find favour with the urban audience, especially the youth, who may connect to it instantly."[10]
Radhika Rajamani says Telugu film Routine Love Story will surely click with the urban audience.
Director Praveen Sattaru made a quiet entry with Life Before Wedding. Sattaru's second film Routine Love Story (with nothing routine about it) comes with more publicity and is an entertaining romance, away from the candy-floss one usually sees in Telugu cinema.
Call it realistic slice of life film, Routine Love Story (RLS) is hugely relatable and believable although there is nothing new in the story.
Lead actors Sundeep Kishan and Regina Cassandra deliver natural performances, adding to the realistic quotient.
Like most celluloid love stories, this one also has a boy falling in love at the first sight with a girl. Sundeep alias Sanju (Sundeep Kishan) is so smitten by Tanvi (Regina Cassandra) in college that he just keeps looking at her for a few days and doesn't want his dream to be spoilt.
With the help of his friends, they get introduced, and get talking. Most of their meetings are planned and they even go on a college excursion to Kashmir, where both have an escape in the rapids and live in the village for four days as Tanvi nurses an injury.
Back home, they squabble as Sandeep wants to take the relationship forward but Tanvi still wants more time. Later, they patch up and even try to live together to test themselves as a couple. Would this lead to a happy ending?

Sattaru has adopted a sensitive, sensible and practical approach while writing the film which reflects in the making. The dialogues thankfully, are not double entendres.
The film has a natural progression of a boy and girl in love and nothing much seems enforced except for certain scenes like the hero saving the heroine by fighting the bad guys or rescuing her in the rapids. At certain times, the pace tends to slow down. The climax seemed rather abrupt and hurried.
After Praveen Sattaru, the film belongs to Sundeep and Regina and they do a commendable job. If one saw the glimmering of talent in Sandeep in Prasthanam, RLS will only enforce that as he slips into the character very well. He is a storehouse of talent.
Regina looks good and compliments Sundeep perfectly.
Mickey J Meyer's songs are in sync with the film though there's a sense of dj vu.
Uppena was like a breath of fresh air in the Indian thriller genre. It follows the romance between Aasi, a Christian fisherman, and Sangeetha (affectionately called Bebamma), a zamindar's daughter. Vijay Sethupati plays Raayanam, Bebamma's father, who places great importance on caste and honour. He, as expected, does not approve of their love.
The protagonists, debutants Panja Vaisshnav Tej and Krithi Shetty, blended so effortlessly into their roles and had me rooting for them right from the start. Vijay Sethupathi was, as usual, terrifyingly perfect. The dubbing might throw you off, especially if you are used to Vijay's subtlety in his dialogue delivery. (Although, he mentioned that he is learning Telugu to become more fluent and sign more Telugu films.) The final scene was what stood out for me; Raayanam's silence and reluctance and Krithi's ability to steal the screen from Vijay Sethupathi.
The foreshadowing dialogues, the antagonist father, and the caste divide hint at a tragic ending. In fact, in many instances, it reminded me of Dorasaani and Colour Photo. A 'routine love story', as we Telugu folks might call it. But despite the stretched second half and some predictability, the film is held together by its sincerity in telling a slightly different tale.
Though the story seems as old as time, debutant director and writer Buchi Babu Sana focuses on the relationships between the characters. Certain moments like Aasi and his friend (Jai Krishna) wondering who the man is between Romeo and Juliet, Aasi trying to say Sangeetha with his stutter, or Bebamma's idea that anger makes one age faster, all have their charm.
Caste was essentially the core message of the film. Raayanam goes to brutal lengths to protect his family honour by preventing his daughter from having a future with a boy from an oppressed caste. But this message is lost in the final scenes as the narrative shifts to the power of love and toxic masculinity. This again becomes a bit preachy, but I can appreciate Buchi Babu's effort to include a topic like toxic masculinity, which is rarely discussed in Indian cinema. The issue of casteism never really strikes a deep chord in your heart like perhaps Sairat did.
Uppena means high tide in Telugu, and the concept is weaved so poetically into the film's cinematography by Shamdat Sainudeen and soundtrack by Devi Shri Prasad and Sukumar. The town's coastal shots and the strong sea waves show parallels to Aasi's and Bebamma's vast love. The lyrics by Sri Mani, Chandrabose, and Raqueeb Alam, particularly in the songs Nee Kannu Neeli Samudram and Jala Jala Jalapaatham, which include sea metaphors, beautifully capture the blossoming love and desire of the couple. These two elements definitely made me wish I saw the film in the theatres.
