Want to watch ‘Ponman’? Check out our ETimes exclusive review, which reads, “Writers Indugopan and Justin Mathew have done a superb job of creating layered characters—the mother, Steffi, Mariyano, and the several smaller characters—that we love, hate, sympathize with, and empathize with. And we are given glimpses of Ajesh’s ‘craziness’ early on and so never doubt his almost insane drive to get his gold back. What a well-written character. The film is also filled with beautiful lines that combine humanity, humor, and philosophy, like when a friend, Markhandaya Sharma, tells Bruno about how life is about a balance or when Ajesh tells Bruno about surviving and surging ahead in life. It will having you laughing and move you to tears.”
