Maju KB's latest film, Perumani, offers an eccentric take on satire, humorously poking fun at various subjects within the framework of a comedic narrative set in a whimsical village. While the exaggerated characters risk veering into over-the-top comedy, Maju strikes a satisfying balance by minimizing dialogue and emphasizing physical expressions. The film's political undertones remain subtly woven throughout, allowing it to stay true to its comedic genre.
Set in the fictional village of Perumani, the story revolves around an intriguing incident triggered by a wedding announcement disruption. Nassar, spurred by curiosity, embarks on an investigative journey, unraveling the village's secrets and complexities.
Comparing Perumani to a hypothetical fusion of Sathyan Anthikkadu's style and Wes Anderson's flair, the film employs unique cinematography to amplify the eccentricity of its characters. Despite a multitude of characters, the narrative remains coherent, with Maju skillfully conveying intricate backstories with minimal exposition, such as the dynamic between Abhi's two mothers.
Vinay Forrt shines as Nassar, portraying a character with a ludicrous ego and a narrow worldview with comedic brilliance. Lukman delivers a grounded performance, complemented by Deepa Thomas's seamless transition between hyper and normal character dynamics. Sunny Wayne's role showcases his versatility, while Navas Vallikkunnu and Vijilesh provide standout comedic moments.
Perumani relies heavily on visual storytelling, utilizing vibrant colors and wide-angle lenses to enhance comedic impact. The first half sets the stage for the narrative, leading to a hilarious crescendo reminiscent of Ponmuttayidunna Tharavu in the final act. Addressing themes ranging from gender politics to religious satire, the film navigates complex subjects with finesse, culminating in a satisfyingly entertaining experience.
Maju's craftsmanship is evident throughout Perumani, highlighting meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to amplifying unconventional ideas with minimal room for error.
Here is an official teaser 2 of ""Perumani"", starring Sunny Wayne,
Vinay Forrt, Lukman Avaran and others. Written & Directed by Maju.
Produced by Firoz Thairinil.
