Cast

Production

Love Mouli was conceived by director Avaneendra during his tenure as an associate writer on RRR . [6] He developed the story in a novel-like format [7] due to initial uncertainty regarding lead actors. He later considered several young Telugu actors before casting Navdeep in the lead role, notwithstanding his limited recent film activity as a lead actor. [8] The film was subsequently promoted as Navdeep's comeback as a lead actor, [9] with the term "Navdeep 2.0" being widely used. [10] [11] The film received an A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification. [12]

Reception

Love Mouli received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its moments of romance but criticism for its slow pace. [23]

Avad Mohammad of OTTplay rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "On the whole, Love Mouli is a brave attempt in today's time. The romantic drama has a purpose but is narrated in a very dull manner that might go well with many. Things start working only in the second half and end the film on a high." [24] Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Love Mouli is more than just a romantic drama; it is an evocative and visual journey that leaves an impression. While the film's bold narrative and unorthodox treatment may not appeal to everyone, those who appreciate the blend of romance with deeper existential themes will find this film rewarding." [25] A critic from 123telugu rated the film two and one-fourth out of five stars and wrote that "On the whole, Love Mouli disappoints due to its excessive adult content, sluggish pacing in the first half, and narrative inconsistencies. While Navdeep and Pankhuri Gidwani deliver performances that are passable, the visually attractive locations offer some respite." [26]
