Premalu

Premalu (2024) : Brief Review -

A random tale of today's nibba-nibbi, but truly a chuckling comedy! There are two ways to watch this film because it is made for two kinds of audiences. One section is for those who don't care much about storylines and creative ideas and are fans of love stories, maybe because they are sometimes involved in such stories. This section will hail it as a classic romance-hence justifying the use of "nibba-nibbi" in the headline. The second section, which cares a lot about good stories and content-driven films, will get to see a hilarious comedy. I'd include myself in the latter club, but let me tell you, I am not against love stories. I have my own favourites that may not be commercially successful but are great classics. Now, coming back to the comedy.. well, this is a genre for everyone. Nobody dislikes good comedy. Just keep that in mind and enjoy this fun ride that comes with some tiresome cliches. A college boy proposes to a girl, and she rejects it. The boy then falls in love with another girl during the wedding of a friend. I won't call these two things cliches because these things are very relatable and real since they happen a lot. I have seen many of my friends trying to flirt with girls and make friends with them at other friends' weddings or relatives weddings. What happens after that is what I would call tiresome cliches, because I am really tired of watching the same things again and again. Aadhi's character is mad, but damn funny. It went terribly wrong in the last 20-25 minutes, which I didn't really like. Reenu's love took so much time, and I guess it was predictable right from the first scene. The same happens with Sachin, a not-so-intelligent and educated boy-again, the same old cliche. So, there's nothing new but some great laughter. You'd definitely enjoy the fun, if not the boring romance. Nevertheless, thank you for not wasting 2 hours of my life (the other 30 minutes did waste it).

RATING - 6/10*

This movie is a sheer fun,comedy.

The best part of story is the innocence of love that is very hard to find in movies these days , if u like the movie '96' u are gonna like this 100%. Fantastic direction with each frame of the movie. The cinematograpgy is superb too and the sound design is fantanstic.

"Premalu" is an absolute delight! It's refreshing to hear about a movie that brings back the innocence of love amidst comedy. The comparison to "96" definitely adds to the intrigue. It seems like the direction, cinematography, and sound design all contribute to making it a visually and emotionally engaging experience. And when it comes to acting, it sounds like the cast truly shines, especially with their impeccable dialogue delivery and timing. The mention of the male lead's stutter adds a unique touch to the character dynamics. Overall, "Premalu" seems like a must-watch for anyone craving a blend of heartfelt storytelling and comedy.

A complete laugh riot if you're a Malayali. Premalu is so entertaining and so relatable, it's truly unbelievable how good this was using such a simple template rom-com story. Even though this is set in the city of Hyderabad, the two kinds of life they showed brought so many memories of my time in Banglore. I've experienced both those lifestyles even if not to the extremes this showed. The way so many dialogues and situations worked can only work with charming performances, natural dialogue deliveries and the details of the dialogue that are so close to how this generation of Malayalis communicates. All the performances and the specific vision of the director to bring out those performances really make an impact.

But what hit me the most were the subtle passing dialogues which, even if omitted from the movie wouldn't change the entertainment factor of the movie. What would otherwise be just passing situational dialogues are closely constructed to give depth to the story and the characters. There were a few moments there that were too close to home for me even when that was so quickly passed by. It is this attention to detail that makes Girish's films special and different from all the similar films that follow such templates.

Even though it was nothing more than small talk, I was able to talk to Girish and Naslen, while they were dubbing for this movie. Whatever portion they were dubbing, I'd like to believe it was some specific dialogues. That really makes this a special one for me.

A feel good movie with refreshing faces in the main roles.

A well directed time pass movie. Entire 150 minutes of the movie is worth watching. A talented team of actors add glamour to the movie. Every actor has justified his / her role with lively acting. The movie is totally dialogue oriented and the script writer has been very careful in avoiding unnecessary and unwanted slangs - though the entire story spins around current new gen - who uses liberal expletives in their daily dialogues Every frame is well directed and movie maintains its pace.

Definitely worth watching with family members. Don't Miss This Movie.

~ The film 'Premalu' directed by Girish AD starring Naslen and Mamitha Baiju is a very fun and enjoyable journey from start to end. The light hearted tone and new generation relatability all makes this a new age comedy entertainer. Naslen and Mamitha Baiju's performances were excellent too , the chemistry between Naslen and Mamitha was nice aswell but the chemistry between Naslen and Sangeeth Pratap (Amal Davis) was just excellent. Their comedic gags really worked well. Another great performance was by Shyam Mohan as the annoying bestie Aadhi who also contributed to the film's humour. Overall Premalu is a fun and care-free entertainer that is sure to make some laughs in the theatre. Good watch.
