Premam

Premam kind of struck me as one of those movies that captures the bittersweet journey of love and growing up in a way that feels really relatable. It follows George, a guy who we see at different stages of his life, navigating through his crushes and the ups and downs that come with them. Each girl he meets sort of represents a phase in his life, which is neat because it highlights how love changes as we do, you know? The first girl, Mary, feels like that perfect first love young, innocent,full of dreams. Their interactions are sweet and awkward, which totally reminded me of my high school days. It’s funny how we idealize our first crushes. There’s this real sense of nostalgia packed into those moments, and I think it’s something that pretty much everyone can connect with. But, you also see the pangs of unrequited love that George faces. It’s tough, but it makes it feel authentic. then, as he grows older,we meet the second girl, who brings a different energy. The humor here is pretty strong,I gotta say. The way George navigates this new relationship, with its mix of laughter and frustration, is just, like,life. Love isn’t always a fairy tale, right? It’s messy and complicated. You feel for him when things don’t go as he hopes, and it’s kind of nice to see those ups and downs portrayed realistically. The last girl, who shows up in George's life later on, is more mature. There’s this great contrast between the earlier relationships and this one.

It’s like he’s finally learning what love really means,and it’s about more than just infatuation. there’s depth here, and the way it all culminates kind of hits home. It really makes you think about how we evolve as we move through life and love. But,honestly, some might feel like the last segment drags a bit, or maybe it’s just that I was so invested in the earlier stories. Visually, Premam is quite charming too. the cinematography has this warm, vibrant quality that matches the mood perfectly. Kerala,where it's set,is like a character in itself, you know? The lush greenery and the laid back vibe really amplify the story's romantic elements. I mean, who wouldn’t want to fall in love in such a picturesque setting? The music also plays a big part in creating that atmosphere. There are some catchy songs that just sort of get stuck in your head, adding another layer to the whole experience. Now, I don’t want to ignore the pacing; it kind of varies throughout. At times, it felt like it meandered a bit, and some scenes could’ve been trimmed down. But maybe that’s part of the charm? Life doesn’t always move at a breakneck pace. it’s hard to say if I’d feel differently on a rewatch, but I think the leisurely flow gives you time to soak it all in. Another thing worth mentioning is the performances. Nivin Pauly as George really brings this endearing quality to the character.
