Some unofficial sources have put the movie's box office collection at ₹2 crore on Sunday, taking the overall gross collection to cross ₹15 crore in Kerala.

"Premam" has taken Malayalam cinema by surprise with the kind of reception it has been receiving.

"What's really unique about the movie is that it's having a repeat second show at midnight in many cinemas to manage the huge rush something unheard of in Mollywood for long. People are braving the rains and even travelling to nearby districts to watch the film," P. V. Basheer Ahamed, president of the Kerala Film Exhibitors Federation, told The Hindu

"Premam" has again proved that content is king when it comes to a film's success.
