Dear Alphonse Puthren,

I think I know the reason why Premam was such a huge hit despite being a pretty average film.

You conjured up a few clever and remarkable moments, beautiful images and cast pretty women whose combined impact sort of out-weighed the poor writing and average acting.

Your film offers scenes from three different stages in the life of George. The first stage is his life as a love lorn teenager. This portion of the film has a magical and almost dreamlike quality to it, mainly due to the sepia tinged cinematography. Frankly Alphonse, some of the scenes were quite cringe worthy and the teenager's antics amounted to stalking of the female character.

The second stage is George's life as a rowdy college student. This part was quite entertaining and the slow motion fight scene was very well done. The actress Sai Pallavi makes quite an impact with her pizza face and wild dancing.

The third stage is George's life as an adult. This part was unremarkable at best. But the film does not go on for too long.

The language you used in the film is very candid and colloquial. Slow motion scenes are used to great effect. The visuals were very striking The songs were catchy and the women were gorgeous.

Nivin Pauly and his beard make quite an impact - especially in the second part of the film. The supporting was average at best.

When you really think about it, the film is nonsense. But it is tolerable nonsense.

I will watch your next film, Alphonse Puthren. Hope you can work harder on your writing.

Best Regards, Pimpin.
