Premante Review | A Feel-Good Telugu Film Worth Watching

Some films do not arrive with noise, hype, or exaggerated promises. They arrive quietly, with honesty, and leave you smiling long after the credits roll. Premante is exactly that kind of film.

Light hearted, warm, and genuinely entertaining, Premante reminds us that cinema does not need excess to be effective. The film chooses simplicity over spectacle and sensible humor over loud comedy, creating an experience that feels relaxed, wholesome, and deeply enjoyable.

At the heart of the story is Priyadarshi Pulikonda, who once again proves why he is such a dependable and grounded performer. His portrayal feels natural, and relatable. Alongside him, Anandhi brings grace, warmth, and emotional balance to the narrative. Together, they make a beautiful pair. Their chemistry feels effortless, making their journey a true treat to watch.

A special mention goes to Suma Kanakala, who adds a unique charm to the film. Her presence brings organic laughter and warmth without overpowering the story. The comedy is further elevated by Vennela Kishore, whose impeccable timing and subtle humor blend seamlessly into the narrative, enhancing the film rather than distracting from it.

What truly stands out is that every character adds value. No role feels unnecessary. Each character contributes meaningfully to the script, making the film feel complete and well thought out.

A heartfelt kudos to the director, Navaneeth Sriram, for trusting simplicity and respecting the audience’s intelligence. The clarity of vision, restraint in execution, and belief in storytelling over spectacle are evident throughout. This kind of direction quietly sets an example for meaningful, budget conscious cinema.

Equally deserving of appreciation is the entire team behind Premante. There is a strong sense of collaboration across performances, writing, and execution. Every department seems aligned with the same intent, making the film feel sincere and lovingly crafted.

Premante comfortably finds its place in slice of life storytelling, feel good cinema, soft romantic comedy, and the growing space of content driven new wave Telugu films. Its genre fluidity allows the story to breathe naturally, reminding us that simple, honest cinema can be deeply impactful.

With slightly tighter editing and deeper exploration of a few emotional moments, the film could have been even sharper. These are minor refinements and do not take away from its overall charm.

Films like Premante deserve encouragement and support. They prove that creative ideas can flourish while keeping budgets realistic. Telugu cinema needs more such stories.

With admiration and encouragement
