Peranmai (transl.Valour) is a 2009 Indian Tamil-language action adventure film directed by S. P. Jananathan and produced by Ayngaran International. It stars Ravi Mohan (credited as Jayam Ravi) 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 music was composed by Vidyasagar.

The film revolves around Dhuruvan, 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. The bonding of team and defeating the potential threat forms the crux of the story.

The film opened to audiences worldwide on 16 October 2009, coinciding with Diwali. The core plot is loosely based on the 1972 Soviet film The Dawns Here Are Quiet.
