India Today’s review of Ponman reads, “Basil Joseph and Sajin Gopu lived their respective roles and their face-off scenes brought them to the edge of the seats. Lijomol Jose’s performance shows the resilience of a woman and how they always become a pawn in men’s world. With brilliant performances and hardly any lags, Ponman is a realistic film that holds a mirror to society.”
