Release and reception
The film did not impress critics. A reviewer for Andhra Today wrote: "One is left to wonder why the audience's patience is put to test by a 'wafer' (thin) story".[3] Andhra Online wrote "The reason for the title of the film being "Love Story 1999" according to the filmmaker is that the film is sure to continue to run even into the next year. That's the first thing where they went wrong. And followed it up with mistakes that even a newcomer would not commit in the making of the film. It is a tragedy that a director as reputed as K. Raghavendra Rao can also come up with such stuff".[4] Love Story 1999 did not perform well at the box office despite having a well known director and Prabhu Deva opted against signing straight Telugu films for a period afterwards.[5][6] The film was dubbed and released in Tamil as Nee Enakku Uyiramma in October 1999.[7]
