The Malayalam film industry has been having a great run this year with back-to-back hits. Among all the success stories of the industry so far, Premalu is the clear winner. Without much promotion and budget, the unassuming love story won the hearts of audiences in Kerala and other Southern states. The film earned more than Rs 100 crore, a huge feat in Malayalam cinema. After its terrific box office run, the film is finally gearing up to be released on an OTT platform.
Premalu will premiere on April 12 on Disney Plus Hotstar. “The love story that captured hearts! #Premalu arrives for streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from April 12th! Not Kidding,” read a tweet by Bhavan Studios, the producers of the film.

Directed by Girish AD of Super Sharanya fame, the film stars Naslen K. Gafoor, Mamitha Baiju, Sangeeth Prathap, and Shyam Mohan in pivotal roles.
Anandu Suresh of The Indian Express gave the movie 3.5 stars and wrote in his review, “Similar to Girish AD’s Thanneer Mathan Dinangal and Super Sharanya, this Naslen, Mamitha Baiju-starrer too effectively employs situational and observational comedy. Yet, Girish ensures that Premalu stands apart from his previous works.”
Premalu also garnered huge praise from celebrities from other film industries. SS Rajamouli praised the film to the moon and said, “It is with jealousy and pain that I admit the Malayalam film industry produces better actors. In this film too, they did a fantastic job.” Rajamouli’s son SS Karthikeya distributed the Telugu version of the movie, which made a significant mark at the box office.
