From
the
filmmaker,
who
delivered
commendable
flicks
'Iyarkai" and
'Ee",
here
comes
'Peranmai"
–a
desi
version
of
Hollywood
superstar"s
Rambo.
SP
Jananathan
strikes
back
with
a
similar
touch
of
placing
a
social
crisis
as
central
theme
blending
them
accordingly
with
commercial
elements.
Perhaps,
this
could
be
the
best
film
in
Ravi"s
career.
'Peranmai" doesn"t
boasts
of
an
exceptional
storyline
as
we"ve
already
watched
similar
films
based
on
'one-man
army"
(more
than
hundred
times
over
the
screens).
Aye!
Didn"t
we
enjoy
watching
Vijayakanth,
Arjun
and
Sarath
Kumar
saving
our
motherland
from
terrorists?
Well,
don"t
presume
this
film
to
be
much
ridiculous
as
those
films.
It
has
got
a
perfect
narration,
interesting
elements
which
go
along
with
little
illogicality
like
a
puny
girl
bashing
down
a
goliath.
The
film
revolves
around
Dhruva
(Jeyam
Ravi),
a
forest
officer
raised
in
tribal
community
has
to
train
NCC
girls.
He
chooses
5
most
arrogant
girls
(Dhansika,
Maha,
Liasri,
Saranya
and
Vasundhara)
for
trekking
inside
a
forest,
who
are
unwilling
to
work
with
him.
Later
they
venture
into
the
forest
only
to
witness
an
appalling
scenario
as
they
witness
16
aliens
from
foreign
country
having
reached
there
to
blow
up
the
Indian
Spacecraft
that
is
to
be
launched.
What
unfolds
next
is
a
series
of
'thrilling" moments
with
a
much
predictable
climax.
Jeyam
Ravi
does
a
brilliant
job
in
all
aspects.
He"s
extraordinary
over
performing
daredevil
stunts.
SP
Jananathan
has
shaped
his
character
so
magnificently
offering
him
a
milestone.
All
the
five
girls
have
excelled
with
their
top-notching
performance.
Roland
Kickinger
makes
a
stunning
show
with
his
gigantic
physique.
But
it
really
looks
weird
when
a
guy
like
Ravi
bashes
down
him
easily.
The
climax
portion
of
saving
the
spacecraft
is
quite
ridiculous
and
Jananathan
should"ve
come
up
with
something
innovatively
different.
Roland
Kickinger
doesn"t
get
enough
scope
to
perform
well.
It
really
makes
us
wonder
why
Jananathan
had
to
rope
in
such
a
great
actor
and
portray
him
so
flimsily.
Vidhyasagar"s
musical
score
fails
to
impress
us
while
Satish"s
cinematography
is
excellent.
On
the
whole,
Peranmai
has
got
a
good
interesting
storyline,
but
some
of
the
illogical
factors
stop
the
film
from
getting
labeled
as
'excellent".
