Performances:

Although most of the actors are new, they have given it their all.Naslen has managed to impress one and all and his role will surely resonate with a lot of youngsters. He looks the part and performs with ease and is the one to watch out for. Mamitha as Renu has a terrific screen presence and it’s not just the cute looks but her excellent performance as a young ambitious professional that stands out.  Other cast members such as Althaf and Shyam Mohan have done a good job as well and add great value to the proceedings.

Positives:

  • Nalsen and Mamitha’s chemistry
  • Relatable writing
  • Humourous moments
  • Depiction of Hyderabad

Negatives:

  • Slow pace
  • Climax portion


Analysis:

The greatest strength of Premalu is its reliability. Right from its lead characters to city surroundings and the challenges faced by youngsters, everything is spot on and youth will definitely relate to it. Girish AD has done a tremendous job at portraying Hyderabad in its true spirit. Hyderabad is much more than skyscrapers and Hi-tech city and the kudos to Ajmal Sabu’s cinematography for capturing the essence of the city beautifully.
