Valour) is a 2009 Indian Tamil-language action adventure film, co-written and directed by S. P. Jananathan for his venture and produced by Ayngaran International Films, it stars Ravi Mohan and Roland Kickinger, with Dhansika, Saranya Nag, Varsha Ashwathi, Liyasree and Vasundhara Kashyap in the female leads, while Urvashi, Vadivelu, and Ponvannan play supporting roles.

The film revolves around Dhuruvan (Ravi Mohan), a tribal forest guard who works for the welfare of his tribe and spreads awareness among them.

While on a trekking with five college girls, who initially mistreated him due to his caste, they stumble on a group of foreign mercenaries led by Anderson (Roland Kickinger), who are planning to stop India's scientific project by destroying a rocket launch by using a missile.

Being from a tribe, he is constantly degraded by his superior ranger Ganapathiram for his caste and rough persona, and framed for committing inappropriate acts by other cadets, but their warden Victoria sympathizes for him.

Meanwhile, the expedition begins, and while Dhuruvan is caught up in some procedures at the forest checkpost, the girls buy condoms and other inappropriate items and start the jeep, nonchanlantly driving it and running it down the slope of a hill.

Dhuruvan guesses that they might are heading towards the direction of the Indian satellite research station in the forest to destroy their project of launching a rocket.

Dhuruvan analyzes that the men are out to sabotage the space mission and makes plans to defeat the operation of the foreign mercenaries.

She bids them goodbye, and Susheela tells her to tear the complaint letter as they wrote it without understanding Dhuruvan's value, before Ganapathiram sees it.

Anderson, the leader of the foreign mercenary group, decides to stay back until a clear notion from the opposite side.

That night, Dhuruvan and his troops break into their camp and seize one of two boxes that the mercenaries carry around with them, expecting it to contain information about the air missile after killing two of them.

In the end, Ganapathiram is awarded by the Indian government for "bravery", while Dhuruvan is back at the camp training another set of new NCC cadets.

[11] Sify wrote " Here is a definitive movie with a moral framework, and commitment along with a stunning and realistic climax" and also praising Jayam Ravi's acting.

[12] Rediff.com wrote "A movie like this thrives on characters that knock against each other, and new emotions emerge but S P Jhananathan has thrust so many platitudes, morals and politics into it that it ends up being inadvertently hilarious.

[13] Behindwoods wrote "Peraanmai directed by S P Jananathan deals with an entirely different theme but strikes a low key especially in the reliability segment".

[14] Times of India wrote "Likewise, if you are one of those passionate followers of Tamil cinema, and get all twitchy and charged up over the sameness in formula-driven action films and have been demanding at least a fresh storyline as a minimum requirement to escape a sense of deja vu, you can relax.
