Premam went on to become a sensation that appealed even to the viewers of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka etc. In fact, the film did complete 300 days of run in Chennai city. After 250 days of run, the film again had a re-release in Chennai.

Back in the past, Malayalam movies had a market which was largely confined to the State of Kerala alone. With the exceptions of superstars' films, which did have takers outside the State.

With the passage of time, there has been a comprehensive change in the attitude of non-Malayali viewers. Now, people from other states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh etc. are eager on watching Malayalam movies.

We all know how well Premam performed in Chennai. The film went on to complete 300 days in a centre in Chennai alone.

The success of recent films like Charlie, Kali, Jacobinte Swargarjyam etc. in cities like Chennai and Bangalore has opened a great avenue in front of Malayalam cinema.

Such a change is definitely a good one for Malayalam film industry as the budget constraints would shrink as the scope of the films are expanding.

This change once again proves that what matters the most is quality and underlines the fact that quality films would always have takers.
