Ponman: Plot & Cast

Directed by Jothish Shankar and based on GR Indugopan's novel Naalanchu Cheruppakar, Ponman is set in Kollam and follows the story of PP Ajesh, a gold dealer played by Basil Joseph. Ajesh lends gold jewelry for the wedding of Bruno’s sister, Steffi. However, when Steffi’s husband, Mariyano (played by Sajin Gopu), fails to return the gold as promised, Ajesh takes it upon himself to reclaim what is rightfully his.

Lijomol Jose plays Steffi, while Anand Manmadhan and Deepak Parambol feature in key supporting roles. The film’s cinematography is handled by Sanu John Varghese, with music composed by Justin Varghese.

A Second Chance for Recognition

Despite receiving largely positive reviews, Ponman did not achieve the commercial success it deserved in theaters. However, with its OTT release, the film has an opportunity to reach a wider audience and garner more appreciation.

This marks Basil Joseph’s second theatrical release of the year, following Pravinkoodu Shappu. Now, with Ponman arriving on JioHotstar, audiences can experience its gripping narrative and powerful performances from the comfort of their homes.
