Premalo... Pavani Kalyan (transl. Pavani and Kalyan are in love)[a] is a 2002 Indian Telugu-language romantic drama film directed by Polur Ghatika Chalam and starring Deepak and Ankitha.[1]
The film is directed by Polur Ghatika Chalam, who wrote the story for Sampangi (2001) starring Deepak. The film is produced by Super Hit film magazine editor B. A. Raju.[2][3]
Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu opined that "BREAKING THE monotony of the campus love stories, this film proves a refreshing drama of love, coupled with family sentiments and friendly relationships. It is a carefully crafted work of director Ghatikachalam".[4] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com said that "The only plus point of the film is music. The primary drawbacks of the film are dull narration and nativity problem of hero. May be you can watch this film at your leisure".[5] A critic from Sify wrote that "Deepak is wooden-faced throughout while Ankitha looks glamorous. The music of Gantadi Krishna is disappointing. On the whole it is a run-off-the-mill love story with a tame climax".[6]
Box office
The film ran for a hundred days despite a slow start.[7]
