    Fresh and enjoyable to watch

    Premalu' is an enjoyable watch on the lives of young adults easing into their first jobs and discovering the recently-attained independence of being away from home.

    At 156 minutes, Premalu is longer than the average film these days, but it justifies that duration with its engaging narration, even when we are sure of how it will all turn out in the end. The feverish pace set early on never slackens, with scenes shifting constantly and rhythmically, and Vishnu Vijay's music complementing it all. Naslen, Mamitha as well as much of the young cast fit into their roles organically. Premalu is a winner with its fresh, humorous treatment of a run-of-the-mill story.

    Manifestation of a love story from the perspective of a boy

    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.

    Premalu 2024: A Refreshing and Endearing Rom-Com

    "Premalu 2024" proved to be a delightful surprise. I found this romantic comedy to be thoroughly engaging from beginning to end. The fresh-faced cast delivered charming and natural performances that drew me right into their quirky, relatable world.

    I was impressed with how well the actors embodied their characters. There's a genuine quality to their interactions and emotions that adds an extra layer of enjoyment. The film's pacing is lively, moving from scene to scene with ease and preventing any dull moments from creeping in.

    The humor is lighthearted and genuine, never feeling forced or over-the-top. I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions. "Premalu 2024" has a pleasant feel-good atmosphere that left me smiling long after the credits rolled.

    If you're looking for a fun and heartwarming romantic comedy with a dash of youthful energy, I definitely recommend giving "Premalu 2024" a watch!

    Puppy love reimagined with youths.

    First of all the film isn't boring at all. It might not be relatable for working age youths cause this film would be too cute for them, but perfect for hopeless romantic's at school's, and maybe to an extent for college students.

    Naslen who started doing support roles like Dileep through this film might have finally become another main role actor in the industry. Naslen has done his homework very well to establish it well. The moment's where he shows his shyness reminds me as copied from the late actor Innocent, the moment's where he shows his shamelessness and playfulness reminded me of the much younger hustler-type Mohanlal. There were moments of him that reminded me of Dileep's certain reactions to situations in films, and Tovino's when it became a matter of saying things straight but with a Naslen touch. So, he is putting in his effort in creating an appeal with the audience. Mamita was able to convey her role and express the required emotions very well, however, I felt she should have done more to top it, cause it felt very subdued and lacked that bursting energy. She also needs to take care of herself when the truth is that the older actresses in the industry are trying very hard to capture youth. Shyam Mohan, a person whom I haven't seen before or remember seeing in films through this one has definitely become a recognisable actor with the richness of the character he embodied, and I would like to see him in more star-studded films to see if he could give more competitive acting. Sangeeth Prathap also did a recognisable role. Unfortunate casting, and people who had nothing to perform were Meenakshi and Mathew, both of them were added as fillers and it wasn't required for the film. Someone new should have been given the chance, just to expand the roster of actors in the industry. Meenakshi shouldn't have agreed to it, cause it was a role where she wasn't even able to channel her energy into the character.

    For me from the moment Devaragam 2.0 was performed, a happy kind of cringe came over me. A very common characteristic of Naslen films. Film is a simple puppy love story, and people who are in it are able to do it in their own terms and freedom is what makes it into a whole story. Only objection that I have is that the Sachin character was going to U. K., a place where no one sensible would go for their studies anymore. I don't know if it would have been more romantic or not if Sachin didn't board the plane. The film could have released with two versions, I believe something like that has been done before, but it was a long time ago. So, there was an opportunity for it in this film.

    Overall, it's an enjoyable watch, so I do recommend watching it now through theaters or later through streaming services. A very family friendly film.

    Relatable af laugh riot

    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.

      During the song "Mini Maharani", Reenu says "Dhaba Girls" when she and Karthika stand in front of a highway restaurant. This is a callback to her and director Girish A.D's previous film Super Sharanya, where the the group of the central character and her friends call themselves "Dhaba Girls".
