Across continents, films catering to mature audiences have built a steadfast following, and Tamil cinema is no different. Tapping into this specific genre, first-time filmmaker Ilango Ram recently directed 'Perusu,' a movie that explores unconventional, adult-centric themes.
Starring Vaibhav, Sunil Reddy, Santhana Bharathi, VTV Ganesh, and Deepa Shankar, the film also serves as the launchpad for social media personality Niharika, who portrays Vaibhav’s on-screen spouse.
Following an enthusiastic reception and a confirmed digital premiere, 'Perusu' hit the silver screen on March 14 after drawing positive feedback from industry professionals and media during its preview screenings.
Capitalizing on the buzz, streaming behemoth Netflix secured exclusive digital rights and has now formally announced the film’s online debut. 'Perusu' is set to stream on Netflix beginning April 11, and will be accessible not only in Tamil but also in dubbed versions for Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada audiences, expanding its reach across the southern Indian market.
A Peculiar And Daring Narrative
The storyline centers around Halasiyam, a revered elder in a rural village, who unexpectedly passes away—only for his body to remain in an unmistakably awkward state. This peculiar predicament plunges his family into distress as they struggle to conceal the embarrassing reality, resorting to extreme measures such as binding the body with tape and rope. However, despite their frantic efforts to suppress the matter, word inevitably spreads, and soon, the villagers begin to gather to pay their respects. The crux of the film’s plot unfolds as the family grapples with this bizarre conundrum, leading to a series of comedic mishaps.
Wordplay And Waves Of Laughter
With a provocative title and a screenplay laden with cleverly placed double meanings, 'Perusu' kept theatre audiences erupting in laughter. The film’s humor, particularly elements that resonated with male viewers, played a pivotal role in its popularity.
Among those who lauded the film was actor Silambarasan, who openly expressed his appreciation for its bold approach. With its imminent Netflix release, 'Perusu' is poised to capture an even broader audience through the digital platform, ensuring its humor reaches beyond cinema halls.
