Review of Premaloka

Premaloka (1987)
10/10
The movie that revolutionized romance in Indian Cinema
23 December 2005
You have seen QSQT, u have seen DDLJ, u have seen Maine Pyar Kiya, but if you have not seen Prema Loka, then u haven't seen the movie that started the trend which was followed by the romantic movie makers all over India. Prema Loka has a very fresh and lively look to it and considering that it was shot in 1987, it was way ahead of its time. Ravichandran as the débutant director and actor is wonderful in the movie. Juhi Chawla, who went on to act in some of the blockbuster Hindi movies,is at her pretty and bubbly best. Ravichandran has taken every minute detail into consideration. This is probably the first movie in India which truly made a fashion statement. He also imported a Honda bike, for the movie.

No conversation about Prema Loka is complete without talking about Hamsalekha who completely took the music world by surprise, with his unconventional and youthful songs which did not follow the regular Indian song format of "anthra" and "mukhda". People still sit up watch when these songs are aired on TV.

If you haven't seen the movie, make sure that u watch it. Its one of the milestones in Kannada film industry
