 I felt that Perusu, available on Netflix, was a prime example of overdoing the intensity of a joke. I understand that a situation can seem extremely funny, but can you base an entire film on it? Or rather, is it advisable to do so? That said, I think the premise was unique and had a lot of potential, but it lacked solid subplots that could further accentuate its impact. Most of the time, unless it's physical comedy, the essence of a comedy film is lost when it's dubbed into another language. When a joke is invented in one language, it becomes a bit difficult to use humor and achieve a similar impact when the dialogue is translated into another. So I confess that Perusu probably didn't amuse me because I didn't know Tamil, and reading the subtitles didn't help. But beyond the language barrier, I felt that, as an audience, I expected more from the film.  Director: Ilango Ramanathan Writers: Balaji Jayaraman, Ilango Ramanathan Stars: Chandini Tamilarasan, Niharika NM,...
