Perusu, a Tamil-language comedy-drama directed by Ilango Ram, boasts a vibrant ensemble cast that brings its unique narrative to life. In an industry where comedic storytelling often teeters between brilliance and controversy, ‘Perusu’ dares to walk the tightrope with finesse. The film doesn’t just embrace humor—it weaponizes it to challenge societal norms.

One of its most intriguing and, frankly, eyebrow-raising moments? The discovery of the protagonist’s deceased father with an erection. Sounds shocking, right? But Perusu turns this delicate scenario into a comedic yet thought-provoking moment, proving that even the most awkward subjects can be addressed with the right mix of humor and sensitivity.

Vaibhav Reddy steps into the role of Durai, the younger of the two brothers at the heart of the story. Known for his carefree and slightly irresponsible demeanor, Durai‘s world is turned upside down by the unexpected events following their father’s demise.

Composer-singer Premgi Amaren says his latest song, Aararriro, in the Tamil horror series, Live Telecast, blends motherly love with music. Aarariro is the first song of the Kajal Aggarwal-starrer series, which was launched on Saturday by popular star Sivakarthikeyan.

The number composed by Amaren is a lullaby sung by a single mother to her son, about the journey of life. The song is penned by Aishwarya M, and is sung by Vaikom Vijayalakshmi.

"Two things in life are priceless and life without them is worthless -- music and motherly love. Both evolve from divine intervention and it's always a bliss to experience such beauty. Working on the song ‘Aarariro' has been a phenomenal experience, and all credit goes to the beautiful angels -- Vaikom Vijayalakshmi for her heavenly vocals and outstanding lyrics penned by Aishwarya," Amaren said.

Film: "Damaal Dumeel"; Cast: Vaibhav Reddy, Remya Nambeesan, Kota Srinivasa Rao and Sayaji Shinde; Director: Shree Kumar; Rating: ***

Close in the footsteps of dark comedies such as "Soodhu Kavvum" and "Moodar Koodam", comes "Damaal Dumeel", which unlike its contemporaries, may not be exceptional but still has what it takes to be applauded for the effort.

"Damaal Dumeel", which releases Friday, is one hour and 57 minutes long. It features Vaibhav Reddy and Ramya Nambeesan in the lead roles.

Even as a villain, he doesn't want to play stereotypical roles.

"He will not shoot scenes in more than two takes. He tells actors what he exactly wants before and after every scene. This allows the actors not to waste time from going through same scenes over and over again," Vaibhav told Ians.

Time flies when one is working with Sekhar, he added.
