Little Hearts Review :
The feel-good Telugu rom-com Little Hearts has officially landed on ETV Win — now available to stream in its Extended Cut. With fresh scenes, more heart, and a little extra fun, this version gives audiences another reason to revisit the surprise theatrical hit.
What’s It About?
At its core, Little Hearts is a coming-of-age romantic comedy centered on Akhil, a young man struggling to meet his father’s expectations of academic excellence. After failing a key entrance exam, he’s enrolled in a competitive coaching center, where he meets Khatyayani — a strong, determined girl with her own ambitions.
What follows is a quirky and awkward relationship that slowly grows into something meaningful — all while navigating family drama, youthful dreams, and hilarious mishaps.
What Works
Fresh Spin on Familiar Themes
While the movie plays within the typical rom-com framework, it’s the refreshing tone, lighthearted writing, and grounded characters that make it stand out.
Charming Performances
Mouli brings a natural innocence to the lead role, striking the right balance between humor and sincerity. Shivani Nagaram adds grace and confidence, making their chemistry believable and enjoyable to watch.
Feel-Good Vibes
The film keeps things simple. There are no over-the-top twists or melodrama. Instead, it focuses on real, relatable emotions — a welcome change in a genre that often leans on exaggeration.
Neat Production & Pacing
Despite being a smaller-budget film, it looks polished. The cinematography, music, and editing work together to maintain a breezy pace and a visually pleasant experience.
What Could Be Better
Predictable Plot Points
Some story elements feel familiar — exam pressure, misunderstandings, family objections — and follow expected patterns. It’s charming, but not particularly groundbreaking.
Slight Rushing Toward the End
The final act moves a little too quickly. Some emotional resolutions could have been given more time to land with full impact.
Occasional Misses in Humor
While much of the humor works, a few jokes might feel outdated or slightly off-tone for modern audiences.
Final Verdict
Little Hearts is a lovable, low-stakes film that knows what it wants to be — a cozy, relatable romantic comedy with charm, laughs, and heart. Whether you missed it in theaters or want to revisit it with added content, the Extended Cut on ETV Win is a great pick for your next streaming night.
Rating: 3.5/5
Perfect for fans of lighthearted love stories and nostalgic coming-of-age dramas.
