Story: Balu(Naga Chaitanya) comes in first in every exam he takes. So,generally he is conceited about himself. Mahalakshmi(Tammanah),his mardhalu(marriageable cousin) comes from her home village to study along with Balu. She studied in Telugu Medium, so she is kind of dumb(to put it nicely). When she sees Balu, she's in awe of him. When, its time to take the exam, she runs out crying from the exam hall, saying that she's dumb and she will fail. Balu develops sympathy for her and helps her study. The next time they take the exam, she comes in first. Balu gets extremely jealous and irritated. That starts the "Tom and Jerry" game between them,both try to outsmart each other. The third time neither of them come in first place, another classmate Ajith(Anand) comes in first. That irks the both of them,so they both compromise and try to divert him. How they do so, and in the process what happens between the both of them,forms the rest of the story.
Performances: Naga Chaitanya seems to be experimenting with different roles, with every movie. In this role he scores 95%, because he still needs to improve in the facial expressions department. I can't really comment on his dancing skills, because this film didn't have much. Tammanah is a treasure for Telugu Cinema, she's got the looks and she's got good performance skills. She has a really important role in this film, probably her best after Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam. She scores a 100%. All the others do what they are supposed too. The kids, were so adorable, they were such a cute addition to the story.
Direction,Story: Sukumar scores a 100% in both departments. The story is a fabulous feel good entertainer, while the direction lives up to it.
Music: Its by Devi Sri Prasad, and its AWESOME. They have such a lighthearted feel to them. My favs were: Diyalo Diyalo,Aho Baalu,That is Mahalakshmi,A square B square and Dhooram Dhooram. But all of them are breezy and nice.
Cinematography: 100% Love is one of those films where the camerawork plays a part too. Venkat Prasad did a nice job capturing the light hearted moments of the film. There are many throughout the film,little cute ones. The cinematography just gives us a lovable feel.
Pros:

- Naga Chaitanya's expressionless face in some parts
