![]() Instead you feel like you are hanging out, perhaps for a little too long, with a bunch of amiable friends. There is little sense of high drama here. Instead Alphonse leavens the sadness with humor and tenderness. His soaring affections don’t land but Premam never becomes a Devdas-style pity party. He asked: Ye khalish kahan se hoti, jo jigar ke paar hotaa. Mirza Ghalib famously described the emotion as teer-e-neemkash or a half-drawn arrow. Alphonse captures the giddiness and sweep and peculiar ache of love. Premam is stylized – fluttering butterflies are a recurring trope – but not synthetic. But from this flimsy and fatigued material, director Alphonse Puthren, who also wrote the film, fashions a gorgeous but unvarnished ode to romance.
