God alone knows what Prithvi, Nayantara - I presume her's was a guest appearance - are doing in this movie, let alone the other equally talented actors wasting their talents - and our time - in a mockery of a movie? My rating: 2 stars.Manichitrathazhu ( transl. A hero who punches people without any rhyme or reason, contract goondas who run away at his sight, a cop investigating a strange unknown vehicle without even the sense to note down its registration number, a rich jewellery owner who does not give a second thought about 200kg of gold that his men misplaced, a girl who simply sits and watches TV all day, waiting to marry an idiot whose pauperised father wants to blow up the mall that his son is getting in dowry, and random people who perform group dance without any reason and a director who makes you watch boring things in endless repeatition expecting you to hold your breathe in anticipation. Second it's filled with too many cartoonish - but not funny - characters, without a single one of them showing even a spark of intelligence.

Each scene in Premam, each character - including the silent (and dialogue-less) lover rang a bell in our hearts and memories. "Java is simple!" Who can forget the Java instructor and his class room - in Premam?
