Starring Nivin Pauly as George and introducing Sai Pallavi in a star-making debut as Malar, the film also features a stellar ensemble cast including Madonna Sebastian, Anupama Parameswaran, Shabareesh Varma, Krishna Sankar, Siju Wilson, Ananth Nag, Vinay Forrt, Soubin Shahir, Sharafudheen, and more.
The story follows George’s journey through love and life, from teenage infatuation to adult introspection, exploring themes of heartbreak, friendship, and personal growth. What made Premam stand out wasn’t just its plot, but the soul with which it was told subtle and unhurried.
With no trailer or conventional pre-release hype, the film let its music and word of mouth speak instead. Songs like Malare, Aluva Puzha, and Kalippu became instant anthems, with Rajesh Murugesan’s soundtrack helping the film transcend screens and enter everyday life.
Alphonse Puthren’s editing and Anend C Chandran’s cinematography created a visual and emotional texture that felt lived-in and honest. Time may pass, but some stories and the bonds they forge remain timeless. 10 years later, Premam still blooms in peoples’ hearts.
