The Telugu romantic drama Premante has found a new home on digital streaming. After a brief run in cinemas earlier this year, the film is now available for a wider audience on the popular platform Netflix, offering a second chance for viewers who missed its theatrical release.
From Theatres to Streaming: A New Chapter for Premante
Netflix officially announced the acquisition this week through its social media channels. The platform shared the film's poster with a Telugu caption that translates to "love being a celebration filled with moments both grand and fragile." The OTT release comes approximately four weeks after the film's debut in theatres.
Produced by Rana Daggubati, Puskur Ram Mohan Rao, and Jhanvi Narang, Premante marks the directorial debut of Navaneeth Sriram, who also wrote the script. The film features Priyadarshi and Anandhi in lead roles, with popular television anchor Suma making a notable supporting appearance, marking her return to films after a break.
Plot, Performance, and Box Office Journey
The narrative of Premante centers on a married couple whose relationship is under significant strain. Their marriage faces a test, particularly from a police officer whose actions start to disrupt their lives. A pivotal moment occurs when the wife uncovers secrets from her husband's past, forcing her to confront issues of trust, accountability, and the future of their bond.
Positioned as a romantic drama, the film delves deep into marital conflict, examining themes of regret, personal flaws, and the possibility of second chances. It focuses on the emotional consequences of revelations rather than rushing to a simple resolution.
At the box office, the film reported a domestic net collection of ₹1.55 crore, with a worldwide gross of approximately ₹1.95 crore. Overseas collections added around ₹0.15 crore, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. The film's restrained narrative approach received mixed responses from audiences and critics.
Where and How to Watch Premante Online
Premante is now streaming exclusively on Netflix. The film is available in its original Telugu version, along with dubbed versions in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. For wider accessibility, English subtitles are also provided. This multi-language release significantly expands its potential viewership across India and beyond.
With its arrival on a major OTT platform, Premante has the opportunity to reach a broader audience and gain appreciation beyond its initial box office performance. The supporting cast adds depth to the story without overpowering the central narrative of the lead pair.
