Watch Premam For Free

Waste of time

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I have watched so many many movies throughout my life, some movies I could categorize as great cinematography, outstanding acting, brilliant scripts, superb story telling, spellbinding background score, etc..However there are only a handful which have rattled my emotions while belonging to all above categorizations. "Premam" by Alphonse Puthren stands on top of that list as it conquers the perfection of movie making.Got to know about the movie through a friend of mine and I had high hopes for it. Well,my hopes were satisfied although can say whoaaa...did not expect that coming. Premam redefined my view on movies made in India as mainstream Bollywood/kollywood movies have hardly quenched the thirst for brilliance. (Except for "Aamir Khan" productions.) Covering breathtaking topography in Kerala district, the movie maintains its own rhythm with well developed characters. Performance by actors have simply took it to the greatness as every single actor gives their role the utmost justice. Must say "Sai Pallavi" did steal the prize among the cast, as she portraits her well crafted character with sound dialogues and expressions.Music in "Premam" is mesmerizing. Rajesh Murugesan has delivered his best with an amazing background score/soundtracks which will stick in your mind for a long time. Im truly grateful for the director. He surely knows how to arrange all these talents to present us the optimized result and all I can do is writing these words on IMDb to convey my thanks.The movie may have gotten closer to me as the culture and people somewhat resembles my country(Sri Lanka)though nothing can replace its originality. Has a running time of 2.30 hrs, hence make sure to have a peace of mind prior to watch this movie. Im truly sad that I have missed it on big screen still being viewed the blue-ray version.Fingers are crossed for the next masterpiece by Putheran...

I watched the movie after all the hype settled down and DVD was released. I watched it just to know what is so much to hail about , is it worth the hype or just another movie that calls itself new generation.First of all it is mixture of old seen things in a more trendy new gen way that's all.Before I start about the movie I must say Alphonse Puthren needs to understand the meaning of being humble, because one movie got hit and he began writing open letter to other directors as though he has done something that no one could achieve.I am saying this because people like Sachin Tendulkar or Abdul Kalam Sir have achieved a lot. Sachin holds the record for most number of record breaking and Abdul Kalam sir has worked with most noted people and has worked for our country. We respect them for their achievements as well as their humbleness.There are many people whom we respect because of their humbleness.He created hype by claiming that he took this movie 5K resolution and no other theatre had this provision and began criticising the Cinema. People who think they know everything are the most ignorant people (because if he knew that no cinema has 5k resolution provision he wouldn't have took it in that way). He needs to understand that movie makers,actors and all associated had their ups and downs, I am not going to lecture about how he has to change or what he should do. Let him decide whether to humiliate himself and belittle himself by trying to show off his ignorance, that's up to him. The movie has a lot of elements that Malayali audiences have nurtured and loved for decades. A hero who is anti hero and hero at the same time, like we used to love Lalettan in his Devasuram or Aaram Thampuran or Thoovanathumbikal or Mammuka from Kottayam Kunjachan, a lover who is dedicated to his love, friends who always provide shoulder, a dad who is friendly, college ragging, college lecturers and heroines who falls easily for the hero's charm.I personally think the movie was inspired (even though people wont accept) from several movies like Thoovanthumbikal where Lalettan was sort of anti hero and hero in college, Cherans autograph,Gautam Vasudeva Menon's Vaarnam Aaayiram, friends who provide support to everything like in classmates or any other 80's movie.I am teaching as guest lecturer in one of the named college in Trivandrum and after the movie became hit some of my colleagues who were teaching were called "malare" because the heroine in the movie is a guest lecturer who falls in love with the heroine, the students intensity of calling them increased and it lead to issue(even though a small one). I personally believe movies do inspire you to do what they show and this is one example of it, but it doesn't necessarily mean that all people do it, if that is so then after thoovanathumbikal got released every brother like character would be pimping out for his younger one or all people who failed in love would be going to prostitutes to avenge them. Nothing like that some people take these as part of movie and nothing more but some take inspiration to do it without thinking it could hurt others. Is there so much in the movie for the hype between youngsters calling it their movie and other people saying it is degrading the ethical values and moral values??? I personally think this movie should have been left without people bashing over moral values and ethics, that way the hype surrounding around the movie wouldn't have gained momentum, like India did to Indias daughter(they banned it and people began anxious as to what is so much about that documentary)??Finally the movie has pace till college days then it settles down to more of slow paced movie which has nothing much of an attraction except for the song and macho hero entering again into the arena, the music was good especially the Avalu vendra, the dappankoothu song (before the dance song or last music during credits), aluva puzha and malare. Anyway the movie starts in teens and ends up in middle age. Personally I think Nivin did justice to the role, because his portrayal of character in Ivide was horrible,terrible and pitiable which made several people think how he won State award. Sai pallavi was convincing as Tamil Guest lecturer, Kichu and friend character were notable, Vinay fort's professor character can be seen in many colleges where people don't know how to explain the concept and everything.The scenes do bring in nostalgia and a work that gets OK mark thats all. It is far from being a classic but yes it has got some people's attention that is all it is.

Dear Alphonse Puthren, I think I know the reason why Premam was such a huge hit despite being a pretty average film.You conjured up a few clever and remarkable moments, beautiful images and cast pretty women whose combined impact sort of out-weighed the poor writing and average acting.Your film offers scenes from three different stages in the life of George. The first stage is his life as a love lorn teenager. This portion of the film has a magical and almost dreamlike quality to it, mainly due to the sepia tinged cinematography. Frankly Alphonse, some of the scenes were quite cringe worthy and the teenager's antics amounted to stalking of the female character.The second stage is George's life as a rowdy college student. This part was quite entertaining and the slow motion fight scene was very well done. The actress Sai Pallavi makes quite an impact with her pizza face and wild dancing.The third stage is George's life as an adult. This part was unremarkable at best. But the film does not go on for too long. The language you used in the film is very candid and colloquial. Slow motion scenes are used to great effect. The visuals were very striking The songs were catchy and the women were gorgeous.Nivin Pauly and his beard make quite an impact - especially in the second part of the film. The supporting was average at best. When you really think about it, the film is nonsense. But it is tolerable nonsense. I will watch your next film, Alphonse Puthren. Hope you can work harder on your writing. Best Regards, Pimpin. (5/10)

I am no movie buff and I cannot get into any technical aspects of the movie, but to me, Premam is more than perfect and the spell it has spun has remained with me even after a good one month since I watched it to make me write a review.It was nothing but pure and sheer entertainment and pleasure to watch a honest movie made by Alphonse Putharen. The story, as many know by now, is not complicated; it's about adolescence, of innocent love/infatuation as many like to call it and the heartbreak of a failed proposal, the at-the-tether-end-of-adolescence phase where we do believe in love at first sight and giving a damn about the world, the more mature young man phase where love happens even after past failures.To get dramatic, Alphonse Putharen is an artist who has painted his canvas with all the right mixture of emotions, colors, palettes etc. I can see from his interviews that he is a very passionate filmmaker and his work shows in such a way that you are bowled over by each frame of the movie.Nivin Pauly is at his best in this movie. Believe me, the first movie that I got to watch of his is Neram and I simply can't compare how much he has grown from there to here, his personal best performance so far I believe. Sai Pallavi is like a fresh breath of air, perfect as Malar, you will fall in love with her for a whole lot of reasons, the voice, eyes, the pimples, etc.Shabareesh Varma, Krishna Shankar, Vinay Forrt, Anupama Parameswaran, Madonna Sebastian, Soubin Shahir, Siju Wilson, Sharafudheen, Ananth Nag, Renji Panicker, the peon and so on will leave an indelible impression on your mind.The songs need a special mention. If Alphonse Putharen is the quintessential filmmaker, Rajesh Murugesan is the versatile music composer. This movie has a magical feel to it because of its varied genres of music. The background score suits the mood of the movie to the T. Also, all the song lyrics are penned by Shabareesh Varma, it has made me run around looking for words unheard of before because I am a native Speaker only with no prior knowledge of tough, unpronounceable Malayalam words. The whole feel of the lyrics and composition takes you to another level. These songs are my morning walk partner now.To sum it all up, for me this is a whole new phase of rediscovering Malayalam movies, like the ones where something stirred in your heart when you watched Lalettan, Jayaram, Maamooka, and the likes emote.With this movie, Alphonse has announced to the world "Watch out world, here I come." Thank you Alphonse for making me proud of my roots!!
