*"Om Om Siva" - Vikram Sarathy, Sricharan
*"Hey Snehidhiye" - Nikhil Mathew

Release
'The Times of India' gave the film three out of five stars stating that "It is this tough story that Rajesh Kannan sets out to tackle, and to his credit, it must be said that he has done a decent job". 'News 18' Praised the story, but criticized the slow screenplay. The reviewer wrote that "Agreed that Rajesh Kannan has presented an original story. But the pace in which the movie moves is too slow, something which he cannot afford in a suspense thriller" 'Behindwoods' gave the film one half out of five stars stating that "To sum up, Perumaan could have been made as a decent short film. Fewer dialogues, jumpy song sequences and the dead slow script show the directors desperation to make it into a two and a half hours feature film".
