In this work we analyze the corrections to tribimaximal (TBM), bimaximal (BM) and democratic (DC) mixing matrices for explaining large reactor mixing angle $theta_{13}$ and checking the consistency with other neutrino mixing angles. The corrections are parameterized in terms of small orthogonal rotations (R) with corresponding modified PMNS matrix of the form $R_{ij}cdot U cdot R_{kl}$ where $R_{ij}$ is rotation in ij sector and U is any one of these special matrices. We showed the rotations $R_{13}cdot U cdot R_{23}$, $R_{12}cdot U cdot R_{13}$ for BM and $R_{13}cdot U cdot R_{13}$ for TBM perturbative case successfully fit all neutrino mixing angles within $1sigma$ range. The perturbed PMNS matrix $R_{12}cdot U cdot R_{13}$ for DC, TBM and $R_{23}cdot U cdot R_{23}$ for TBM case is successful in producing mixing angles at 2$sigma$ level. The other rotation schemes are either excluded or successful in producing mixing angles at $3sigma$ level.
