‘Premante’ Movie Review

Introduction
Priyadarshi, who is balancing his career as both a comedian and a lead actor, now comes with Premante, a romantic comedy entertainer featuring Aanandhi as the heroine. The film carries the subtitle “Thill Praptirasthu.” Released this Friday, does Premante have enough elements to engage the audience? Has it become another hit for Priyadarshi? Let’s find out in this Premante Movie Review.

Plot Summary
Madhu Sudhan alias Madi (Priyadarshi) runs a small business with his friends to clear his father’s debts and save their family home, which is under mortgage. Ramya (Aanandhi) dreams of a thrilling and exciting life after marriage. Both families start looking for suitable matches for them. Unexpectedly, Madi and Ramya meet at a wedding, and their matching opinions lead to their marriage.

After the wedding, the story takes an unexpected turn. Does Ramya get the thrilling life she imagined? What new path does Madi choose to clear the family debts? How does Ramya react after learning about it? How do the couple handle their married life? Do they stay together? And how does Asha Merry (Suma) enter their lives? The rest of the story answers these questions.

Analysis
Premante tells the story of a couple who meet unexpectedly, get married, and discover new truths about each other as their life begins. The film focuses on understanding each other’s flaws, adjusting, and moving forward in a relationship.

The first half runs on a light, entertaining note with cute romance between Madi and Ramya, suspicions arising after their marriage, and the truth that follows. However, in the second half, the twist revealed by the heroine shocks both the audience and the hero, giving the impression of a fresh storyline.
But several bank robbery scenes and other sequences stretch logic too far, weakening the narrative. The director fails to maintain the grip established in the beginning. Scenes involving Head Constable Asha Merry (Suma Kanakala) and CI Sampath (Vennela Kishore) are funny but resemble Jabardasth skits rather than cinematic sequences. Due to this, Suma’s role doesn’t leave much impact. Although the story idea is new, the director couldn’t present it effectively.

Performances
Priyadarshi performs well as a middle-class youngster and as a husband. Aanandhi gets a role with scope for performance, and she does justice within her limits. Suma Kanakala’s character feels more like a TV skit than a film role, offering no freshness. Vennela Kishore tries to generate laughs, while Hyper Aadi and Ram Prasad are underutilized. 

Outdated comedy punches appear in a few places.Director Navaneeth Sriram picks a good point but struggles to handle it well after the twists are revealed. Several scenes test the audience's patience, mainly due to missing emotional depth between the husband and wife.

Technical Aspects
Viswanath Reddy’s cinematography adds vibrant color to each frame. Production values are decent. However, the lack of emotional depth and the uneven storytelling weaken the overall impact.

Final Verdict
In concept, Premante offers something new, but the weak narration and lack of emotion make the film feel dull by the time it reaches the screen.
