Peranmai (English: Valour) is a 2009 Tamil-language war adventure film, co-written and directed by S. P. Jananathan in his venture and produced by Ayngaran International Films, it stars Jayam Ravi and Roland Kickinger in the lead roles while Ponvannan, Vadivelu and Urvashi, prominent actors from the Tamil industry, played supporting roles in the film. This film is based on Stanislav Rostotsky's 1972 Soviet film, "A zori zdes tikhie (The Dawns Here Are Quiet)".

The film revolves around a tribal forest guard who works for the welfare of his tribe and spreading education among them. Whilst, on a team bonding mission with five college girls, whom initially mistreat him due to his caste, they stumble on a group of foreign mercenaries who are planning to stop India’s scientific progress by destroying a rocket launch by using missiles. How the team bonds together and defeat the potential threat forms the crux of the story.

The film opened to audiences worldwide on 16 October 2009, coinciding with Diwali. The film received predominantly mixed to good reviews, praising the film for the patriotic theme. This film was dubbed in Hindi as Kasam Hindustan Kiand in telugu as Ranadheera.

Dhuruvan selects the five most insolent and disobedient girls in the troop for the expedition intending to provide them better training. As an attempt at a practical joke, the haughty girls post a complaint to Ganapathiram claiming that they didn't feel safe with Dhuruvan and that he was responsible for whatever that was to happen to them. Meanwhile, the expedition begins and while Dhuruvan is caught up in some procedures at the forest check post, the girls non-chanlantly try to drive the jeep and run it down the slope of a hill. After losing their vehicle, the troop decides to stay in the forest for the night and go by an alternate route the next morning. But the plot thickens, when Kalpana (Vasundhara) describes two white men with advanced armaments in the Indian forest heading towards the direction of the Indian satellite research station in the forest.
