When you are going to give a Valentine’s Day card to one you love, there is someone else waiting to give you a card expressing her undying love for you. That’s campus life for you. Every full-blooded young man and women must have/have had some kind of love experience in college. Lucky are the few who end up marrying their college sweet hearts. But there is a lot of heartbreak happening in the campuses. If heartbreak made a sound you could hear crashing sounds every day in campuses. The rejections are painful and are based on priorities, mismatching of personalities as well as at times purely on the basis of looks. Sad but true.


Preminchi chudu captures the moods of a group of college students as they meander from friendship through love and eventual heartbreak. Shaam (Shaam), Eeman (Eeman), Priya (Aasin), Pooja (Laila) and Irene (Pooja) form the core of the group that has other people as friends too. All are students of an engineering college where there are a lot of sports and extra curricular activities happening. Of course they are studying, but the movie prefers to stick to the fun activities. As a group they do things together like hanging out, shopping, participating in youth camps etc. That kindles love in the heart of Shaam for Priya, without her knowledge. To complete the triangle Pooja loves Shaam without his knowledge. Outside the triangle Eeman and Irene love each other but unlike the other three they acknowledge the love for each other. The interesting part of the movie is Pooja (Laila) plays the character of an innocent girl who loves Shaam truly. But Shaam takes her as a silly friend who probably is not worthy of love for her braces and stupid behavior. All attention is fixed on Shaam and Aasin. Aasin is strong-minded and calls a spade a spade. The story is kind of interesting with a few twists and turns. It’s better not to know the story if your Tamilian friend has not told it to you already.


Director Jeeva seems to have observed and studied campus lives closely. Despite the star status of some actors, Jeeva convinces you that you are watching a bunch of college kids. Though his second movie, the attempt t make the movie like real life is laudable. The picturisation, music and the plot everything raises the viewer’s eagerness to know the out come of the three love stories. Does Shaam get Aasin? Or does Laila get Shaam? What happens to Arya and Pooja? Find out. You would love it, like the thousands of students and ex students.
