05Reception
Suresh Kavirayani of Cinema Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Premante offers nothing except forced comedy and a tiring narrative. Not a single scene stays with you, and the film struggles right from its beginning to its end. Debutant director Navaneeth Sriram gets a solid opportunity but squanders it with a weak script and an uninspired execution." Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote "Premante reaches for a balance between madcap comedy and a deeper look at relationships and the effort required to sustain them. It has its moments, but its introspective undercurrent never fully lands, leaving it as a film that is enjoyable in parts but unlikely to linger."
