Premaloka

Premaloka (transl. World of love) is a 1987 Indian romantic musical film written and directed by Ravichandran in his directorial debut. The film was simultaneously made in Kannada and Tamil, with the Tamil version titled Paruva Ragam (transl. The Melody of Age). It was produced by N. Veeraswamy and is based on the 1982 American musical Grease 2. The film stars Ravichandran and Juhi Chawla in the lead roles. The plot follows Ravi, a college student who falls in love with Shashikala, a fellow student, and navigates challenges involving family conflicts, arranged marriage, and his secret identity as a mysterious biker.

Premaloka marked Ravichandran’s debut as a director and producer. The film’s soundtrack, composed by Hamsalekha, was highly successful, with the music receiving widespread appreciation and record-breaking sales. The film's success led to Ravichandran's rise as a prominent figure in the Kannada film industry. Juhi Chawla later recalled her experiences on the set as formative for her career in Hindi cinema.
