                            hit film Premiste for the journalists at Prasad Labs 
                            on the night of 10th November. Journalists shared

                            of the opinions expressed by various journalists - 
                          Senior 
                            journalist Pasupuleti Rama Rao said that he 
                            has seen such a wonderful love story in form of Premiste 
                            after watching K Bala Chandar's Maro Charitra decades 
                            back.

                            (editor of Cine Star film weekly) said, "Premiste 
                            is an impact making film. The climax is heart-touching 
                            and taking is realistic. There is lot of emotion and 
                            feel in Premiste. Suresh Kondeti knows how to promote 
                            films." 
                          Mohan 
                            Goteti (editor of Sitara film weekly) said, "Premiste 
                            stands as the best example of a novel flick. It is 
                            a director's film all the way. Heroine Sandhya did 
                            exceptionally good job. The character of Aiswarya 
                            haunted me for days after I watched the film." 
                          BA 
                            Raju (editor of Superhit film weekly) said, "Premiste 
                            is one of the best love stories ever made on celluloid. 
                            By producing film like this Suresh Kondeti is making 
                            all journalists proud." 
                          Ex-journalist 
                            and present lyricist Bhaskarabhatla said, "I 
                            have already seen Premiste twice. There is much of 
                            realism in this film. I experienced similar events 
                            in my life as I married a girl through registered 
                            marriage and I know the practical difficulties. I 
                            have known Suresh Kondeti for 12 years and he made 
                            a great decision of dubbing this film." 
                          Valluri 
                            Raghava said, "All great love stories are 
                            tragedies. But in this film these is sweetness as 
                            well as tragedy in the climax. Suresh Kondeti is good 
                            at marketing his products. Premiste is a healthy love 
                            story in this globalized world where love happens 
                            over cell phones and internet." 
                          Akella 
                            Raghava said, "I worked for Santosham film 
                            magazine for a few months. The feel in this film is 
                            so good that it overcame the nativity problems by 
                            attracting everybody. Great screenplay is the major 
                            contributor for the success of this film." 
                          'Hasam' 
                            Raja said, "Selecting such a nice subject 
                            like Premiste shows the classic taste of producer 
                            Suresh. It is a risky step to dub such a film and 
                            he succeeded in doing it. This film is an ideal film 
                            not only for the youth but also for the parents." 
                          Veteran 
                            scribe Gudipoodi Srihari said, "Suresh 
                            Kondeti is an ever-smiling and non-controversial person 
                            in film industry. Shankar's craze in AP and the true 
                            story worked in favor of the film. There is a saying 
                            that 'Truth is stranger than fiction'. The secret 
                            of the success of this film is that it told the truth 
                            and reality. Telugu film story writers should not 
                            leave the truth out while writing stories. I saw Premiste 
                            on the 1st day 1st show. The openings were great. 
                            The climax of the film is neither a tragedy nor a 
                            happy one. Most of the producers of Telugu cinema 
                            are trapped in old stories and formula today. I request 
                            the producers to choose novel stories. There are many 
                            journalists who have good exposure in filmmaking. 
                            Watching films, observing shoots and moving around 
                            in film industry gives lot of exposure to the scribes. 
                            The Telugu film industry should use the services of 
                            journalists in making better films. Suresh Kondeti 
                            hit a jackpot with Premiste. I request him to be cautious 
                            while making his next film as doing a straight film 
                            needs lots of exposure in each and every department 
                            of filmmaking."

                            journalist Bhushan said that Premiste belongs 
                            to the genre of heart-touching classics like Vasantha 
                            Kokila and Matru Devobhava.

                            Kondeti said that he want to remain as journalist 
                            though he is entering new avenues. Premiste film was 
                            released with 42 prints and now the prints number 
                            is reached to 100. He thanked everybody for making 
                            Premiste a big success.
