Story:

Balaji Sakthivel the director of Premiste and Kalasala known for his realistic and dark themes is back with his recent offering Premalo Padite with relatively new faces to the Telugu industry. The movie also marks the active entry of UTV into the Tamil industry. Considering the big names like Ronnie Screwvala, Lingu Swamy and Balaji Sakthivel who are behind the film, the expectations are also high especially among the critics. Let us have a look at the film.

Performance Analysis:

Balaji Sakthivel knows how to extract acting from the new comers. He has done the same in this movie. All the four protagonists in the film Sri and Urmila Mahanta have done a fantastic work and their performance was on par with experienced actors. The actors donning the roles of the friends namely Mithun Murali and Manisha Yadav have done justice to their roles.

The dubbing artists have done a great work and their voices perfectly suited the characters on the screen. Suresh Kondeti’s cameo comes as a surprise in one of the songs. It was certainly a bold decision but was not well taken by the audience.

Technical Analysis:

The cinematography by Vijay Milton is okay and the film made use of Canon EOS 7D digital camera for the filming. However, the camera handling was rough probably, in an attempt to give the realistic feel to the movie. The production values were apt as one of the producers Lingu Swamy himself is a notable director.

Noted guitarist R. Prasanna, replaced Balaji Sakthivel’s usual associate Joshua Sridhar. The move does not seem to have worked for the music was just okay. The dialogues were decent in parts. Dialogue translator should have put in an extra effort to make the movie palpable to the Telugu Audience. The editing should have been better.

The story was realistic like any Balaji Sakthivel’s film; the movie deals with the love between people separated by the strata in the society. However, there is a twist waiting in the characterization.

The screenplay certainly does not stand up to the expectations. There is no movement in the story in the first half. It is only in the second half that we see some pace in the movie.

Positive Points:

Realistic Approach

Acting of the New Comers

Minus Points:

Screenplay

Editing

Dragging Climax

Too Many Crying Scenes

Limited to Very Limited Set of Audiences

Verdict:

Premalo Padite is a film that has created some expectations in the audience who have earlier liked the film Premiste. The movie is certainly realistic and the idea of intertwining two teenage love stories is good. The story also encompassed many of the realistic elements. However, the idea was not executed properly. The first half had a very boring narration and the second half unlocks some of the riddles left by the screenplay in the first half. It is the second half that normal audience will start understanding the film. Second half also has some hard-hitting and bold scenes.

The movie also cautions the parents about the present day youth and sends strong message to the society. However, the movie is not meant for family audience and weak hearts. Too many crying scenes that suit only the Tamil audience fail to impress the Telugu speaking audience. The strong message in the movie is bound to impact you and will haunt you for some time.
