Being a Mollywood movie, The film garnered a huge reception from the audience of Tamilnadu. The film’s theatrical run in Tamilnadu was unexpected and is being celebrated by Tamil people till today. Alphonse Puthren debuted as director in a Kollywood film “Neram” which had Nivin Pauly in the lead. But “Premam” impressed the Tamil audience more than the direct Tamil movie Neram.
Despite all the positive word of mouth, there are one set of people compared the movie with Director Cheran’s “Autograph” which was released in 2004. Both the movies belong to similar genre coming of age. Protagonists of both the movies are in search of the love of their life and Cheran who played the lead role in the movie “Autograph” would fall in love with a Keralite girl where as Nivin Pauly falls in love with a Tamil girl in “Premam”.

Following that Kottravai asked why he did not file a case for plagiarism.
வழக்குத் தொடர்ந்திருக்கலாமே சார்??
— கொற்றவை….🤷🙋🙋 (@prabha_twittz) April 21, 2019
To this Cheran said “Yes I could have but If I did that, this perception would have been unattainable. And many people would have accused me”
வேண்டாம் என விட்டுவிட்டேன்… வழக்கு தொடர்ந்திருந்தால் இந்த பார்வை கிடைத்திருக்காது.. என்னை பழி சொல்ல நிறையபேர் தயாராகியிருப்பார்கள்..
