Reception
[edit]A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Premadesam is not anything like Prema Desam of 1996; instead, it’s a romantic drama with a peppy first and mellow second half".[3] A critic from OTTplay wrote that "On the whole, Prema Desam has a good plot. The romance and performances are good ".[4] A critic from Sakshi Post wrote that "While some situations do give a feeling that we have seen them in past, the treatment and characterizations makes it a must watch. The family emotions and the romantic tracks are well-executed".[5]
