Critics Review

2.00

Peraanmai is inadvertently hilarious.

A movie like this thrives on characters that knock against each other, and new emotions emerge but S P Jhananathan has thrust so many platitudes, morals and politics into it that it ends up being inadvertently hilarious. It's a script that looks good only on paper, filled with good intentions but ho...(more)

A low key affair.

This Diwali's first release Peraanmai directed by S P Jananathan deals with an entirely different theme but strikes a low key especially in the reliability segment.

Ayngaran International can take pride that they have produced Peranmai, a different type of entertainer with a subtle message.

Mighty and masculine.

It is a film that is different from the regular rhythm pattern of Tamil cinema. It has action, humour, punch dialogues and loads of heroism but all presented in a different mix that touches both our heart and brain. Vidyasagar's background score is appealing. All credit should go to the director for...(more)

Complete mindless entertainment.

S.P.Jananathan's Peranmai, starring Jayam Ravi, has an unique characteristic and a commendable storyline. Jayam Ravi is the heart-throb of show and has done full justice to his role. Cinematography by Sateesh Kumar is extraordinary and music by Vidhyasagar gels with the mood of the film. Peranmai ce...(more)
