About the Movie
Set in the picturesque coastal village of Kollam, Ponman follows Ajesh, a gold dealer whose life takes a dramatic turn when he lends 25 sovereigns of gold for the wedding of Steffy, the sister of his friend Bruno. What begins as a simple transaction quickly spirals into a tense game of deception and survival when Steffy marries Mariyano, a man with criminal intentions who schemes to keep the gold and silence Ajesh forever.
Ajesh, determined to recover his gold, infiltrates the wedding festivities by posing as Steffy’s cousin, only to find himself entangled in a web of family secrets, dowry debts, and dangerous rivalries. As tensions escalate, Ajesh must outwit Mariyano and his protective family, whose plans for the gold are deeply rooted in their own desperate futures. The film masterfully blends suspense, humor, and heartfelt drama, turning a small-town conflict into an epic tale of courage and cunning.
Ponman stands out for its richly drawn characters, sharp screenplay, and the way it transforms a simple premise into a thrilling narrative. With Basil Joseph’s charismatic performance as Ajesh and Jothish Shankar’s confident direction, the film delivers both edge-of-the-seat excitement and moments of unexpected warmth, making it a standout in contemporary Malayalam cinema.
