PERANBU is a Tamil language drama in which a single father faces the challenges of caring for his disabled daughter.

threat and horror
A character is left unaccompanied in her room while her father goes out to work and is placed in potentially dangerous situations due to her disability. The same character also faces the prospect of physical abuse by unsympathetic staff in a residential centre for the disabled. These predicaments cause emotional upset to both the woman and her father. There is also moderate threat in a scene in which a transsexual sex worker is physically assaulted by a customer.
sex
There are verbal references to masturbation and the use of sex workers by the disabled. In one scene it is implied that a teenage girl is masturbating. Neither the verbal or visual sex references contain crude or graphic details.
additional issues
Discriminatory attitudes, based on disability and sexuality, are demonstrated throughout the narrative but these are not endorsed by the film as a whole. There is also mild bad language ('crap', 'screwed', 'shit' and 'hell').
