While Achara enjoys all the love and music and fun...Jaby seems to be so obsessed with the lens and camera and aperture and whatsoever🤣🤣🤣

Fun fact : the guy who beaten by nivin pauly is the director of this movie (Alphonse puthren)

Well achara we Indians study stuff that ends up having no relation with what jobs we get

Achara : Enjoys and understands almost everything Jaby Every 5 seconds: What just happened there??🤣🤣

I was surprised when Premam became a big hit outside Kerala because a lot of it is so rooted in the culture, along with a lot of references from old films, actors and dialogues that could never make the same sense when translated. When someone outside India is watching, however familiarized they are with the movies, they are still gonna miss a lot. There are lots of bits and pieces in it which are more noticeable in rewatches which I don't think too many people outside of Kerala would really get.

Malar’s name is very Tamil and she’s speaking a different language to them actually, so there’s a slight but significant exoticism factor key to that part of the film

Bakery: its just a common profession most keralaits get into as recepies are known. Bakery/cafe business in India doesnt require a passion for cooking/baking. It just need a business minded man.... Hero here is a rich spoiled kid who wasted his college life and malar happened to be only best memory in his life... he definitely gets matured and hook into some profession from that he make money... the lesson you looking for.. he just being practical. All that magic about love dating has dead now in him. A typical 30s man in India will look out for settle down with a girl. A girl that's all matter. He is now direct in speaking his mind. He don't need to be kind to girls, being kind he gain nothing... Celine likes his honesty in showing the real emotions (not fabricated to please a girl).. its a small town and Celine knows him by person and she just feel safe with a known guy than that ass hole her family choosen. Premium just tells a story of a random guy from a random town... lesson is simple. Don't take life seriously. Life is a box of chocolate. You never know what would you get.

Students in Kerala don't always go in the path they studied. Many of my seniors (commerce/business and even engineers) opened up restaurants right next to the university after their graduations! xD That's just how it is. The other thing is that it's very common for college students to drink in Kerala. Some also get into smoking, but drinking at a young age doesn't always reflect on their attitudes. Inter-college and intra-college fights are common as well. We've had multiple fights in our hostels because some idiots didn't like the taunts at a basketball game. -_-

This movie was a wild fire of trends in 2015, like: 1. The style how the story came to be told, with the most realistic and practical way. Rather than exaggerating action or heroism. 2. Beard styled with Black shirt & kerala mundu/ 3. Red velvet cake 4. "Malare" trended and till date the most popular song. As the song conveys a lot of emotions(lyrics) and it matches with the scenes combined. 5. Yes, the fiancé that was planned to marry (Celine - 3rd Girl) and got beaten up is the Director of the movie. 6. This movie's core actors and team including Director, music director are all close friends. This was their 2nd movie after their success with "Neeram". 7. There was piracy issue at the time, when all the theaters were running House Full. As the pirated movie was uncut and had a lot of scenes that was removed from the final cut. The piracy theory was conveyed recently during 2021 malayalam movie "JAVA"(which was good, more related to multiple investigations).

First of all.. George is not a cool guy, and George is the representation of many of us. That is the reason that George is not perfect and many of us don't learn anything .

When the movie was released Sai Pallavi's role was kept hidden. There was a lot of mystery surrounding the character. When people went to theatre, the role 'Malar Miss' was like a hidden Easter egg. In fact this was Sai Pallavi's debut as an actress. Girls were raving about how beautiful Sai is without donning makeup like mainstream actresses does on screen. People came to the theatre to see 'George' but went with 'Malar Miss' in their hearts.

She is Tamil lady and he's Malayali I think you people never noticed that point

The violin score in Premam and 96 are composed by the same person Govind Vasantha

2:46 The man playing George's dad is Renji Panicker. He is a writer known for writing long punch dialogues which have a lot of English words. He and a director named Shaji Kailas was an iconic writer director duo known for their movies with iconic mass dialogues which are still fresh in our minds.. 22:06 The husband is Alphonse Puthren who is the director of this beautiful piece of art..

I agree with what you said, Premam was a huge hit here and when I watched it I wasn't as impressed as I expected. It was good as a feel good chill movie but definitely wasn't my fav. I loved the malar plot in the story though. I needed to know the characters more in depth. It was an interesting one and visually it was really good. There is so much cultural references that you might have missed, I would recommend banglore days, it is something everyone can watch, a strong story, amazing performance and perfectly put together. It has Fahad Fazil who you are familiar with from kumblangi nights and Nivin Pauly from this movie. I highly recommend that.

Premam can be quite confusing for a non-Indian. Its very colloquial with many of its references and dialogues - many of which doesn't make sense when translated into English. But like you said this was most definitely the Malayalam equivalent of a Richard Linklater movie. The director's debut film though, Neram, is much more straightforward and story oriented. It was a quite compelling movie for its low budget. Premam was wildly successful in Kerala though. It was so huge when it first came out it caused stampedes, there were recommendations being made for tickets from celebrities and political figures, and people were rewatching it like crazy.

The whole movie happens from his point of view, and Celine was never in his story... only when he met her, is when those interaction had meaning for him. Hence it was not shown in a linear manner, and added as post credits.

There is only a 35% chance to get a job after taking a degree form a non reputated college.there is a high chance you will get another job not related to the course you took

This is film is to be FELT and not Disected with Logic. Everybody in India fell in love with this film. Its cultural thing may be but nobody even cared abt character arch or anything in the film. Just the way the film was shot and the music, Performance etc.. made everyone fell in love.

The main characters george and his friends has failed school and collage many times. So they both are near 25 age.

I totally lost it when achara said ' turns people into assholes' and jabby immediately replied' oh! Is that what you use?' 😂😂😂

It’s common in Kerala. In college, students and teachers interact more friendly.

I knew this movie was a blockbuster in 2015. Being a Tamilan, I never watched the movie. However I watched this movie few months ago with subtitles and I really liked the movie especially the heart break scene with malar. It was one of the most emotionally shot scenes that I have ever seen. May be it is because we all have had heart breaks in our lives and we’re able to connect with that feeling. In India, most of the first love ends up in heart break. I agree with many in this group that foreigners may not resonate with this movie. I can see jaby’s body language during reaction. He is not interested in the movie. He has been discussing about camera and angles. Achaea was excited. But her final summary is that she is not liking protagonist. Premam is a gem in Indian cinema and will remain so.

9:06 It was a shocking moment for us when we watched this movie in theater...

'Ayappanum koshiyum' must watched malayalam movie💯💯🔥🔥

You would really appreciate "mayanadhi" it's great movie where you wouldn't know what you are feeling.

I saw this movie in my 20s. Even as a girl, I could relate to this movie and felt nostalgic because I have seen boys in my school college time who were like this. And at that age we kind of idolise and crush on brash and outgoing rough men. Now in my 30s I see what you see. I feel the same way as you discussed. The main character never learned anything or changed his way. He is there, things happening to him. Things are given to him and taken away from him. He mad about it, does nothing and living with it. That's it. Thank you. Many of them may go harsh on you guys for giving such open mature reviews. People in Kerala tend to cling to nostalgia and old feelings more than to change themselves. Thank you for bringing about the change of view for me on this movie. And it was necessary.

Cousin marriages are not weird in South India ,especially in my state (Andhra),the marriage is between cross cousins, that is, children born to a brother and sister, not two sisters and not two brothers.

The trend here in Malayalam movies is pretty much like real life. Everyone in their mind is a Protagonist. But for everyone else you may be a Antagonist. In real life you can't be always good. Like that here the main character here is not someone who is always correct or he may not learn from his mistakes. He was totally himself. He didn't assess himself too much. Here is the story of someone who is not a good guy or a bad guy just living his life. Pupil here in Kerala could really connect to his character, since all of us had similar experiences in one way or the other.

Thing is that you're loosing small details inside the story, like its shown they have already failed in school for a year, and their current age at college is 21 and a guest lecturer could be as young as 24 here. And some cultural nuances that will be hard for you to follow (even for north indians ), this movie is full of such stuffs,thats the basic essence of this movie.And thats why movie became such a pathbreaking movie of this generation down here at south. And there are many little things on entertainment level that malayalis will only get, like the George's dad character is ranji panciker who was a leading screenwriter in malayalam @90s who penned many blockbuster political thrillers with long english dialogues at that time, so its like spoofing himself with that english dialogue he says here, also that music is from his superhit movie 'commisioner'. so you would find hard to get the real essence of south indian films(barring the mass masala movies). I think jaby has already said before he find it hard to enjoy movies like super deluxe and kumbalangi nights, but he enjoyed 2.0 more.

Achara: almost understands everything Jaby: who am I? Where am I? What is happening over here

While Achara is enjoying the movie, meanwhile jaby is tired of reading subtitles 😅

That cake scene is very common in Malayalam movies for eating almost everything.. Most of the directors do that to emphasise that they are enjoying what they are eating..

Please watch" AYYAPPANUM KOSHIYUM " malayalam full Movie

Nivin's dad is Renji panicker...he is known for his fire and power dialogues and scripts in malayalam movies...Probably every malayali will get goosebumps if it's Renji panicker 's script....

"..Turns people into self centred a**holes" "Is that what you used?" I thought Jaby was gonna get slapped 😆😆 The look Achara gave him was priceless 🤭

22:43 - destroyed in seconds😂😂😂😂

the thing is...it's very toxic but people don't realise. there's stalking, teacher student relationships, age gaps, obsessive behaviour, toxic men etc. but it's very loved. and if you ignore these problems, you can watch it fine

The meaning of the last quote is As the film itself concludes, "God unified the flowers which cannot travel with the butterflies, and for ye flowers which can, He bestowed upon thee with butterflies as the emotion of love!"

The man beaten by George and friends at the last, he is the director of the film, Alphonse Puthran

Please show Johnny Rome some Malayalam Movies. I bet he would enjoy it a a lot ❤️❤️

Jaby, watch "Neram" if possible. Its the director's first film. Trust me you'll enjoy it

The atmosphere in the movie is a main part. That cool and breezy one. That's the reason u fall in love this craft

The guy played husband at the Celine chapter is the director of the movie.

22:42 achara is going to beat jaby LOL

@Jaby and @Achara This movie might be a bit of a problem for non-Indians/Non-Malayalis to understand. It was one of the biggest blockbusters of the decade and mainly because of the realistic nature of the movie that was expressed in a humorous way and the movie had lots of emotions that we, as people from Kerala, completed our education in the colleges and schools in Kerala, with all the cultural and variations in expressing emotions, this was a great movie. I could personally relate to the 2nd part of the movie to some extent and I was literally very emotional when George was crying that bad. And I can really relate to the spontaneous actions/reactions of George to get Celine. He did not go for any Melo-dramas and didn't wanted to take that chance of trying to know a girl once again, date her and finally get rejected/lose her. So, I think that's why he just went for it rather than spending/wasting a whole lot of time trying to deal with the emotions related to finding his love. I got married to the girl in almost the similar way. After losing my first love...and blah blah blah....I did not wanted to go for another setback. I just proposed my now wife at the church and asked her out. That was my gut instinct and I didn't even know anything about her for the fact that I had seen her previously only once briefly in a friends party. Now we are happily married for the last 3 years. My friend at church really admired my guts to propose her straight without any ground knowledge about her and she becoming my wife. I still believe, the only reason I moved from Calgary to Vancouver was to meet this girl and nothing else. Regarding the business part, it is common among the youngsters in Kerala after their college, to start some business based on either their education or their skills/interest/extra curricular activities. It's like, I studied social work and working in a healthcare sector. But, I also have a business of teaching IELTS and CELPIP and I am running an institute for the same. Thanks

PLEASE WATCH THE MALAYALAM MOVIE 'AYYAPANUM KOSHIYUM'!!!! 😭😭😭🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

In india, student join the college for bachelors degree at the age of 18, at the final year they will be 21 years old. (other than engineering and medicine )

Premam is not about logic it's all about the feel , every person who fell in love , lost love , had one sided love can relate to it . It symbolises the romance culture in India ❤️

That was burn at 22:45 Jaby, I laughed the hell out.... 😂😂😂

Oh yea🤟.. More Premam❤️

No they said cockroach. They were drunk as f

The fiance who gets trashed by George and his friends is the Director of the movie..... Alphonse Puthren

Fact: When this movie got released, youngsters(across Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh) were thronging theatres and were so crazy about the movie that they skipped their classes. In Kerala, students from various schools and colleges were detained by the police as a part of Operation Gurukulam following the complaints given by staffs from the respective institutions. There was also a vandalism case in a theatre because the screening was stopped in between due to some technical issue. This movie actually earned a cult status.

22:44 that was smooth Jaby 😂

I appreciate jaby for taking his time to watch a Malayalam movie. So thank you jaby so much. He rarely does this. I know he has a lot of things going on in his real life. For the commenter saying jaby is bored or not into the story or achara is smarter then jaby. It like you ever love reading books. Why the you are watching videos instead of reading books. Are you visual learner then. Then jaby is visual learner. Archara is a bookworm. Is that simple. Just stop showing the your double edge sword against jaby. He is non indian and non Malayalee. You can't expect him to read subtitle. If we are not reading subtitle when we are watching movies. Why should he watch movies with subtitle? Majority of us even hardly a touch book. We can see that from george from point of view. Since when George touched a book in this film in the college. We here is all about soical life. Jaby will think like that. This video tells that malayalam films are dialogue heavy fast and same with subtitle. Jaby has unique talent then achara. He looks at how the scene is shot and take the meaning out of it. He does not have to understand the story or enjoy the film like many of us. He can enjoy of a film watching a scene. Why not we read erotic novel instead of looking at playboy magazine or those vouge magazine. Come on guys give him break and appreciate his viewing skills for once.

വളരെ അതികം നന്ദി ഉണ്ട് ഞങ്ങളുടെ ഒരു പടം നിങ്ങൾ re acting ചെയ്തതിൽ നിവിൻ പോളി മലയാളത്തിലെ ഏറ്റവും നല്ല യുവ നടൻ തന്നെ ആണ് ❤

Well I graduated in Hotel Management and ended up working random BPO jobs for almost 13 years and then became a content writer and translator. Education system in India is such exceptions being those who study Engineering and Medicine where majority of them continue to work in the field in which they specialized in college.

26:14 that's a pretty great catch to be honest. It does give off an Everybody wants some vibe at times. Premam's mix of emotion and irreverace, also fits with Linklater's brand

React to "om Shanti Oshana"

It's very common in kerala where they learn in college something and do something different in their future and it doesn't have to be something your interested. My uncle did engineering and now he owns a restaurant, it was out of nowhere 😂. Many mallus are in business for no apparent reason 😂.

I like how every single scene Achara enjoys.. especially love scenes ❤️

This is one of my favorite Romance/drama/comedy of all time. The director was heavily influenced by Goutham menon's Vaaranam Aayiram and VTV, my other two favorite romance/dramas

George was 22 during college and 30 in the 3rd segment. They do mention the age during the swimming pool scene

Because of the college part, there was scarcity for black shirts in shops😆😆

22:43 That was smooth 😂

Very good review. Your observations are a true mirror to Keralites on the social conditioning we get from college. Don’t get me wrong, we all enjoy our college days. But too many of us go into “higher education” for the sake of it, not to pursue a passion but just to satisfy social requirement, be hooligans or be at the mercy of political parties.

Jaby : Is that what u used? 😂🤣😁 Achara : seriously dude 😒😒

The guy Roney Vargese (Alphonse puthren)23:47 is the director of tis movie ...

I totally agree with you the fact he didn't learn anything. But I've got say that u missed a lot jaby. In every scene and dialogue there are many references and cultural appropriation that it's hard for others to understand. That's y this movie is a big deal in keral and tamil nadu. Telegu tried to remake this but failed in making this. This movie has many components that only touches the original audience ( Malayalam and Tamil). But thanks for the movie review. 😀

This is the first malayalam film viewed by many Indians...

I know jaby would say it's good eventhough he was not into it the whole time..he remembers what happened while the kumbalangi review i think 😂

when jaby said why's she not teaching and just walking around😭😭🤣🤣🤣

@Jaby! Hi there … first of all a big thanks to you.. your DM (you replied to my dm actually)helped a lot at a point of time when I was under depression. Your text brought a smile on my face after a long 6 months… as for the movie … George in college is a typical Kerala popular guy behaviour… where he has all the power among other students and all are basically either scared or respect them…Also the guy who gets beaten. Up in the end is the director of the movie… Alphonse Puthren

Did you guys mean to upload the entire video today or was it supposed to be cut into 2 separate videos?

There was a time I really wanted Jaby to react to PREMAM, after years it happened. Thank you Jaby!

Jaby and Archana knows that Malar and George speaks different languages right?

But actually there was a tradition prevailing where people marry their cousins in Tamilnadu

Hey Jaby, thanks for upload this watch along. It's always a treat to watch you and Achara react. But it seems like both of you have some underlying issues. I hope it gets resolved. I would love to see the chemistry again between both of you.

Expecting more Malayalam movies 🥰

Sai pallavi actually won many awards in State-level dance.. She's an excellent dancer 🔥

Apart from the teacher student thing, the hero is actually older as he has been in the college for ages, not bothering to pass out . I think that is what I remember from a conversation in the movie. Correct me guys if I am wrong, it's been ages since I saw the movie

22:44 Achara looks 😂😂😂

Malayalam movies are awesome... Currently best in Indian movie scenario 👍

I was literally waiting for the part 2 ❤️

It's pronounced Prey-mam

The dad is played by an extra ordinary actor and a scriptwritter in 90s

Please react to nivin Pauly birthday mash-up 🙏🏿❤️ Yesterday was his birthday ❤️

JABY YOU SHOULD EXPLORE MORE OF NIVIN PAULY

Watch Lucifer (Malayalam movie not the series). That's a movie an international audience can connect to well because of its making and subtitles. It's also the biggest blockbuster in Malayalam industry till date and the second installment to that movie is in its production stage. It's available on prime.

"miracle in cell no 7" one of the best movie . hope will enjoy

one of the great and simple and best movie and everyone played natural acting in this film ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

South Indians get married to their cousins all the time. The only condition is that the cousin has to be your paternal aunt's child or your maternal uncle's child.

thanks... Jaby noticed the great work of camera....with love shape on lamp

"oh is that what you use?" and the next couple of seconds!!!

Jaby bro who suggested this film watch The great Indiankitchen, kaanekkane , kala (malayalam), joji , Joseph, angamaly diaries , helen, home etc...

To really enjoy you really need to get the context. Pretty much everyone born in Kerala between 1975 to 1985 can correlate to the content. Interesting thing is that very few from my Dad's generation liked this movie. The college life is very raw, with politics mixed up. Trying to correlate the culture with a background of schools in the west would be really tough

Not a great fan of the story, but I really appreciate the way it is shot and worked out.

PLS react to VEER-ZAARA next. It has SRK-Manoj Bajpayee and Amitabh bachchan

Jaby Thanks for posting this in 2 videos. Thought u gonna separate it into 3 parts.
