Prema story at a glance

Prema is one of the very few trendy musical love stories which emerged in Telugu cinema during the late 80s era. Let it be the music, or the fantastic on screen pairing of Venkatesh and Revathi, the film remains to be one of the most artistic Musical films in Tollywood till date.

Story Details:

Prithvi (Venkatesh) is a musician and has a sad past in childhood where he loses his mother at an early age. He happens to fall in love with Maggie (Revathi) who belongs to a Christian family and her mother (Manjula) is very arrogant and strict person. Maggie loves Prithvi dearly and helps him a lot in attaining his goal of becoming a great musician. Meanwhile Prithvi has a guardian, a composer (SPB) who aids him in his goal and personal life as well. But as fate would have it, Prithvi comes to know a shocking truth about Maggie’s health condition and the rest of the film is about whether Prithvi attains his dream of becoming a great musician and where his love story takes him.

Performances:

Venkatesh is admirable as the aspiring musician and a great lover. His dressing is trendy and the accessories he uses in the film suit the theme. It is really good to watch Venkatesh in a youthful film and he proved himself with great performance especially during the emotional sequences. Revathi shares great on screen chemistry with Venkatesh as his lover and she looks incredibly cute in every frame. Her performance just gets better as the film reaches the climax. SPB is excellent in the role of mentor he is brilliant in every frame. Manjula is good as the arrogant mom of the heroine and Gollapudi Maruthi Rao, Kalpana etc played some pivotal roles in the film.

Technical Aspects:

The film is rich in cinematography by P.S.Prakash and songs were nicely picturized. Music by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja is highlight of the film and the background score elevates the emotional scenes very well. Eenade Edho Ayyindhi and Priyathama Naa Hrudayama became all time hits. The lyrics were penned by Athreya- a great lyricist and unfortunately it was his last film. Suresh Krishna’s direction is crisp and well made with high production values of Suresh Productions.
