First single ‘Carmeni’ from actor Samuthirakani’s social drama ‘Carmeni Selvam’ released
Fans of Tamil cinema are buzzing about the first single from the upcoming social drama Carmeni Selvam. Directed by Ram Chakri, the film stars Samuthirakani in the lead role as Selvam, a hardworking taxi driver facing real-life struggles.
The song, simply called "Carmeni," dropped recently and gives listeners a raw peek into Selvam’s thoughts. As a moving monologue, it dives deep into his daily battles, from juggling bills to dreaming of a brighter future for his wife Shanti and son Balu. The lyrics hit hard, highlighting how "honesty doesn’t pay EMIs" in a tough world, while the beat echoes his exhausting routine and the chorus pleads for stability.
At its core, the track explores a big question: Does greed get you what you need? The line "Peraasai patta dhan iraivan tharuvan" (Only if you are greedy will God give you) captures Selvam’s moral crossroads, pushing him toward risky choices to support his family. Another poignant bit, "Eppo varuvayo," reflects a wife’s quiet pain as she watches her husband sacrifice everything.
Carmeni Selvam tells the story of an honest cab driver whose world flips during a family crisis. What starts as a simple push for better days spirals into debt, lies, and tough lessons on love and survival. It’s a relatable tale blending duty with desperation, perfect for anyone who’s felt the squeeze of everyday life.
Director Ram Chakri shared his vision: "We wanted Carmeni Selvam to feel real and touch everyone. Every scene and line mirrors the dreams and fights of regular folks. This song is the heart of the movie—it’s Selvam’s honest cry for the life he wants. We hope viewers see their own stories in his journey."
Samuthirakani delivers a fresh take here, stepping away from his usual roles for something powerful and grounded. The cast packs a punch, with Gautham Vasudev Menon in a key part, plus Lakshmi Priya, Abhinaya, Karthik Kumar, Badava Gopi, Kothandam, Karan Chakravarthi, Sankara Narayan V, and Haritha Parakod rounding out the ensemble.
Keep an eye out for Carmeni Selvam‘s theatrical release—it’s shaping up as a must-watch Tamil film that tackles honesty, family, and the grind of survival head-on.
