Review:
I recently watched Perusu, and I must say, it left a lasting impact. It’s not your regular masala flick - it packs a punch with strong storytelling, emotional depth, and an undercurrent of raw realism.
Plot:
The film revolves around a man from a humble background who stands up against a corrupt system, fighting for justice and dignity, what stood out is how the film didn’t just rely on loud dialogues but used emotional moments to elevate the hero’s journey. There’s sense of of authenticity in the way characters are portrayed - especially the lead, who carries the weight of the story with power and grace.
Performances:
The lead actor absolutely nails it - a perfect blend of rage, control, and vulnerability. The supporting cast also shines, especially the antagonist whi gives a chilling performance. The chemistry in family scenes adds more soul to the narrative.
Direction & Screenplay:
The direction is sharp and focused. The pacing is consistent, with a flew slow moments in the middle, but it doesn’t derail the film. The screenplay blends action, sentiment, and suspense smartly.
Music & BGM:
The background score is one of the biggest highlights! It gives goosebumps during key scenes and adds to the "mass" appeal without feeling overdone. Songs are decent, thought very memorable.
Cinematography & Editing:
Visually, the film looks gritty and real - just what the theme demands. The editing could have been tighter in the second half, but overall it maintains the tension well.
Final verdict:
Perusu is must-watch if you love powerful storytelling with a strong emotional base and mass appeal. It speaks to the heart and roars like a lion when it comes to social issues
Pros:
• Strong lead performance
• Emotionally charged narrative
