Premalu, the recently released Malayalam film, has taken the audience by storm, emerging as a sleeper hit. Set in the vibrant city of Hyderabad, this youthful entertainer received rave reviews right from its opening day, swiftly catapulting it to runaway success status. Its universal appeal even managed to captivate audiences across different language demographics.
In a remarkable feat, Premalu raked in a staggering 100 crores worldwide in the Malayalam market alone, securing its place as the fourth highest-grossing film in the language, following the likes of Manjummel Boys and Lucifer. Such was its acclaim that it transcended borders, making its way into the Telugu market, where it continued its winning streak. Garnering positive feedback and commendation, it soared to become the highest-grossing Telugu-dubbed Malayalam film, outshining even the stiff competition posed by local releases such as Bhima and Gaami.
Distributed by SS Karthikeya, the son of the esteemed Telugu Director, S.S. Rajamouli, Premalu amassed a commendable 15 crores in Telugu-speaking regions worldwide, adding to its already impressive global gross. This success story is nothing short of phenomenal, particularly for a low-budget comedy entertainer.
Anticipation has been brewing among eager fans awaiting the film’s OTT streaming debut, which had seen multiple postponements in the past. However, the wait is finally over as the official streaming date has been set. Premalu is slated to grace screens in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam languages on April 12th, courtesy of the leading OTT platform, Disney+Hotstar.
