It is a tour de force for Nivin Pauly and shows his range as an actor.

The film has three parts (and three love interests). We see Nivin at 16, 22 and finally in his 30's. He's completely different in each one -- love sick mooning teenager in the first third -- crushing over the village beauty. Then he's a rowdy tough guy in college, totally different look and moxie in carrying himself. He falls for a Tamil guest lecturer who is his teacher. She kicks him out of class when he comes drunk! Then the final bit he owns a cafe but is lonely.

What was frankly amazing about this film is that all three heroines looked like the girl next door. Like a normal girl. The teenage girl had this HUGE frizzy hair. The teacher, she had pimples! Not just one either!

The last romance had the most traditionally cute girl, and had the shortest length to the story. He wins over the girl by baking her a cake!

A tragedy separates him from the love in the college middle section, and the reveal on who the final girl is from his past was very cute.

I have discovered about myself that seeing a guy in a skirt, namely the mundu (Kerala version of lungi) garment that Nivin wears for lots of the film is so bad ass and sexy. Would not have thought that before, but the way he folds it up to it into kilt length in slow mo. Hubba hubba!!


The movie was a bit long, but it was interesting how different it was than the other Malayalam movies, and how different than the same story would have been in Bollywood. Big emotional payoff in the end, that made me glad I watched, but a bit long in the beginning section especially. Lots of love sick songs about the village girl.

Not quite as good as Bangalore Days, but I still enjoyed it.

Charming, Modern, Lovable.
Premam (meaning love in Malayalam), is the story of a young man called George (Nivin Pauly) and it portrays three stages of his life, each of which has a love story. George falls madly in love with three girls in his journey through the movie and the film beautifully portrays it, punctuated by good humour and wonderful music (by Rajesh Murugesan). The filming of beautiful scenes of wildlife and picturesque locations as well as the heartwarming song Malare (sung by Vijay Yesudas) are worth mentioning.

In totality, Premam is a peppy, light-hearted movie, fitting the modern, young audience.
