Release and reception
A critic from ''Andhra Today'' wrote that "One is left to wonder why the audience's patience is put to test by a 'wafer' (thin) story". ''Love Story 1999'' did not perform well at the box office and Prabhu Deva opted against signing straight Telugu films for a period afterwards. The film was dubbed and released in Tamil as ''Nee Enakku Uyiramma'' in October 1999 owing to the popularity of the actors in the Tamil film industry.
