Story: Amar (Raanna) falls in love with his classmate Anita (Reeshma) in school; feelings that she appears to be reciprocating so much so that they both even go to the same college. But when a local goon makes unwanted advances on Anita Amar beats him to a pulp and lands in a police station. When he’s let out though Anita spurns his love and ‘friendzones’ him. What gives?
Review: Ek Love Ya is the launchpad for two actors - Raanna and Reeshma Nanaiah. But as the brother of producer Rakshitha and thereby director Prem’s brother-in-law Raanna is in the spotlight from start to finish. No complaints on that front; Raanna has been groomed for this over the last several years and that shows onscreen. He has an effortless easy-going charm about him and is quite likeable in his lover-boy avatar. He’s also convincing as a bearded angry man punching his way through the bad guys even though he’s not got a towering screen presence (six-pack-abs nothwithstanding
Reeshma is the mandatory love interest and gets the standard commercial film treatment - a couple of scenes and several song-and-dance sequences. Luckily for her Prem’s got music man Arjun Janya on board who’s composed quite a few hit numbers for the film like the very peppy Yaare Yaare and Edebaditha Joragide among others. Sadly even Rachita Ram whose role seemed a lot more promising at the onset and is part of the love triangle is not given enough to sink her teeth into. Kudos to her though for trying to make the most of the little she’s given.

The film is visually very pleasing and credit for that should go to cinematographer Mahen Simha who presents the locations and the people in it beautifully while allowing each to shine on its own. What Ek Love Ya lacks is a good story. Showmanship alone cannot shoulder an entire film audiences today need good content too and that is where director Prem falters presenting really old wine in a new bottle. Now you may argue that wine gets better with age; it just doesn’t here.
