Chennai, Sep 25 (NationPress) The team behind director Ram Chakri's forthcoming social drama 'Carmeni Selvam', starring actor and director Samuthirakani in the lead role, has officially launched the first single from the film, bringing immense joy to fans and cinema enthusiasts.

The track, named 'Carmeni', provides an intimate insight into the thoughts and feelings of the film's main character, Selvam, just before the movie hits theaters.

With a touching and emotionally charged narrative, 'Carmeni' presents a heartfelt monologue that embodies the core of Selvam's life and aspirations. The lyrics reflect Selvam's genuine struggles as a taxi driver, his dreams of securing a brighter future for his wife, Shanti, and their son, Balu, and the overwhelming pressure he endures in a society where 'honesty doesn't pay EMIs'.

The melody aligns with the daily challenges he faces, while the soulful chorus acts as a sincere appeal for a promised stable future.

The primary theme of the song -- encapsulated in the phrase “Peraasai patta dhan iraivan tharuvan” (Only if you are greedy will God give you)—serves as a philosophical foundation of the film. It highlights the moral conflicts that compel Selvam to forsake his values and embark on a morally ambiguous journey, making him a deeply relatable figure in a world filled with complex choices.

The yearning expressed in ‘Eppo varuvayo’ resonates with the unspoken sorrow of every wife witnessing her husband sacrifice everything for their family—a sentiment that quietly reverberates across numerous households.

For those unfamiliar, 'Carmeni Selvam' is a social drama that delves into the struggle between duty and desire, truth and desperation. The narrative follows Selvam, a humble and principled taxi driver, whose life shifts dramatically when an unexpected family crisis compels him to reassess his values. What begins as a pursuit of a better life spirals into a poignant exploration of debt and deceit, forcing Selvam and his wife to confront the true essence of love and survival.

Director Ram Chakri states: “With Carmeni Selvam, our aim was to tell a story that is genuine, authentic, and universally relatable.”

“Every frame, every line of dialogue, is meticulously crafted to mirror the shared hopes and struggles of ordinary individuals. The song 'Carmeni' represents the heart of our film. It’s not merely music; it’s a direct glimpse into our hero’s soul, a heartfelt appeal for the life he envisions. We aspire for audiences to connect with Selvam's journey and discover a piece of their own narrative within his,” he added.

Carmeni Selvam boasts a remarkable ensemble cast, with each character playing an essential role in the storyline. The film also showcases a groundbreaking performance from critically acclaimed actor Samuthirakani, in a role that marks a significant departure from his usual work. Alongside Samuthirakani, acclaimed director Gautham Vasudev Menon takes on a pivotal role. The cast also includes Lakshmi Priya, Abhinaya, Karthik Kumar, Badava Gopi, Kothandam, Karan Chakravarthi, Sankara Narayan V, and Haritha Parakod.
