The massive success of the Naslen-Mamitha Baiju starrer also proves that it is indeed possible to achieve great commercial success, even if a film is not headlined by popular stars. Despite dealing with a familiar plot, the intelligent writing that majorly relies on humour, and the exceptional performance made the film an instant favourite of the audiences. Premalu has indeed set a new benchmark for South films, especially romantic comedies, with its massive success.
