Nivin Pauly starrer Premam directed by Alphonse Puthren is continuing the dream run it had in Tamil Nadu. The latest report says that the film had completed 222 days of its theater run there. The film had ran 222 days and still continuing its run in Escape Cinemas Chennai. This is a wonder because even Tamil films did not gets a theater run above 200 days now-a-days in Tamil Nadu but a Malayalam film does it. Even last the film was houseful there and Premam Star Nivin Pauly also came to the theater for the show. He was in Chennai for the shoot of Chiyan Vikram’s short film based on Chennai flood relief activities.
Premam had achieved a great milestone in Tamil Nadu. The film had terminated in Kerala after running around 125 days here. Even though the film is celebrated here at first, then many people came against it saying that it is nothing but an over rated film. The censor copy issue also pulled down the film here. Even after all these issues Premam still remains the 2nd biggest success in Mollywood history. But the run it is having in Tamil Nadu is above all this and it seems the Tamil people loved the film more than any others. The fan base of Nivin Pauly in Tamil Nadu is been increasing day by day and that was very evident when he came last day there to watch the film. There was huge crowd gathered there to see him.
There are reports that even the Tamil film makers dropped the plan to remake it into Tamil as many popular Tamil directors said that no one in Tamil can do justice to the film which has been made memorable by Alphonse Puthren and Nivin Pauly along with other cast and crew. The Telugu remake is already started filming with the title Majnu and it has Naga Chaithanya in the lead along with Sruthi Haasan, Disha Pattani and Anupama Parameshvaran.
Anyway this great achievement by this film will really shut the mouth of its haters for sure.
