Premaloka

Premaloka ( _kn. ಪ್ರೇಮಲೋಕ) is a Kannada feature film starring Ravichandran and Juhi Chawla released in 80s. Premaloka literally means "World of Love" in Kannada language. It was Super hit film, becoming biggest grosser of that time. The film had twelve songs all of which are popular even today. The film gave a talented music director Hamsalekha to Kannada film industry. It gave Juhi Chawla a break in film industry and V. Ravichandran name as director.

Loosely based on Grease-2, the film revolves around the protagonist, who tries to woo a girl (his classmate). On being spurned, he poses as a mysterious biker, and sweeps her off her feet. Towards the end, she comes to know that the biker and her classmate are in fact the same guy.

In spite of an ordinary story and moderate performances, the film had a tremendous response due to few reasons: For one, the whole package was fresh. It was a complete break-away from Anant Nag, Rajkumar and Vishnuvardhan movies. Then, the sets and art direction. It gave the viewer an impression that Kannada Films can be big budget too. Music by Hamsalekha was a huge plus. The songs are hummed even today, and it made Hamsalekha an overnight star. He would go on to compose music for many more Ravichandran films, making them a superb pair in the 80s and 90s.

The film was remade in Tamil as Paruvaraagam, with the same lead pair and songs. It was a hit there too.
