The director Balaji Sakthivel has made 'Premisthe' movie in a very natural way. Though it was a tragic love story the entertainment value is there. In this movie he has also touched contemporary issues by showing how youth are getting misled through SMS and Smartphones. But the crucial scenes of the film had flat direction. Climax was not effective. Mainly, one will not get sympathy for the lead pair which has fallen into problems because of someone else. The main drawback is not developing the love story rightly. The scenes and screenplay to show the link between first half and second half, the emotions between the characters and the attachment to be given to the audience was left to the wind. That’s why one does not react even if something terrible is happening onscreen. That shows the weakness of direction.
The low budget films coming from Kollywood are always like this, why? There is a compulsory tragedy in the end, why? The characters are always below the poverty line, why? Is it because directors believe this to be the easiest way for appreciation? Or is it a genuine sympathy or affection towards people who belong to such class?
Earlier, we saw a cobbler, roadside mechanic, employee in clothes shop. Since they have shown all such characters, did the hero become a worker at a streetside Tiffin centre? Is that why his pair is a servant maid? Finally, the tragedy that strikes them, was it also written after ensuring that it was not repeated in other films?

sorry mate may be this is not ur so called movie but here it is a huge hit and only by word of mouth itself it has gained so much popularity and became one of the must watch movies.
but but re-recording/bgm was horrible. this movie could have been watched even wo bgm. the so called guitarist played horrible music at wrong times and spoiled the mood. movie could have been extended a bit more and showed that school boy was badly punished instead of reading a paper...these kinda things are v.imp.
Enough of tragic stories on the name of reality... People are fed up of the routine tragic endings or the deglamourised faces on the name of reality...
Not sure what the reviewers expect... Seems either the reviewer grew up in a place where Tamil is not spoken or is behaving too urban to sense excellence....
