Review:
Little Hearts delivers a heartfelt narrative that blends romance with relatable life moments. The performances are sincere—Mouli Tanuj brings charm and vulnerability, while Shivani Nagaram adds emotional depth. Rajeev Kanakala and Sunil offer seasoned support, grounding the youthful energy with maturity. Director Maruthi crafts a story that feels familiar yet fresh, balancing humor and sentiment without veering into melodrama. The cinematography captures the vibrancy of youth with warm tones and intimate framing. Music by Surya Balaji complements the emotional beats, though a few tracks feel formulaic. Editing is crisp, keeping the pace engaging throughout. While the plot doesn’t break new ground, its strength lies in its emotional honesty and character-driven storytelling. The film’s originality stems from its grounded portrayal of modern relationships and the subtle commentary on communication and emotional growth.
