Written by Karan Shrikant Sharma, Satyaprem Ki Katha focuses on the love story of Sattu(Kartik Aaryan) and Katha(Kiara Advani), a couple from the Gujarati community who deals with a sensible social taboo. Besides them, the film also has Gajraj Rao, Supriya Pathak, Shikha Talsania, Siddharth Randheria, Anuradha Patel and Rajpal Yadav in pivotal roles.

Meanwhile, DesiMartini has given three stars to the movie. The review reads, “The movie has enough meat in the second half for viewers to remain glued – but are they willing to give moviemakers a long rope? As Gajraj Rao astutely mentions in one of the scenes – tea doesn't develop taste if boiled too early; to which Katha replies – tea also turns harsh if kept on flame for a longer time. Unlike the first half, which is too stretched, the second is crisp and smartly edited. And, the movie does have a good message for all!”
