Her cousin Arivazhagan (Ananth Nag) marries her.Īnd if you have any doubts about director Alphonse Putheran’s capabilities then go and simply watch the scene when Sai Pallavi couldn’t recognize Nivin post her accident, the long-drawn camera shot when he exits her house in despair with his heart broken, the grief slowly building on his face, the legs slowly giving away and finally he can’t take it anymore, you can’t cry in front of strangers but you can definitely weep in company of friends with their arms and shoulders to support. Before we can expect a happy ending the proverbial hand of fate strikes and Malar loses her memory after an accident. The incident of choreographer Dolly D’Cruz is pretty hilarious. The comic relief is provided by the college teacher Vimal Sir who also takes a liking to Malar. Probably she could see the love in his eyes but didn’t want to fully reciprocate or make the first move.

Though I believe that part of the song Malare Ninne may be a dream sequence it is never explicitly indicated whether Sai Pallavi loves him or considers him to be only a good friend.

Full marks to the storywriters and director for not overplaying their affair. Nivin falls in love with Sai Pallavi from the first glance itself though she happens to be his teacher. They are caught drinking in class and promptly expelled from classroom. They bash up a group of students of opposing camp and end up ragging their new joinee teacher Malar (Sai Pallavi) by mistake. Nivin and his pals are now grown up rowdies and study at the local college. She has numerous suitors and ends by getting engaged to some other guy.

Premam is the story of George David ably played by Nivin Pauly, his childhood crush is a local girl (Anupama Parameswaran) to whom he is not able to convey his feelings (except follow her every day to school with his pals Shabareesh Varma and Krishna Shankar). We may never know the exact reason but we do know that “har kisi ko nahin milta yahan pyaar zindagi mein” Why is unrequired love the bane of most ballads, is there beauty in its endearing pain which draws us to it, why do many love stories do not have a happy ending. All right folks, first things first, this is not a review of the DVD’s quality per se but is more of a spoiler alert for the movie.
