0

Movie: PonMan
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Basil Joseph, Lijomol Jose, Sajin Gopu, Anand Manmadhan and others
Director: Jotish Shankar
Producer: Ajith Vinayak Films
Streaming On: Jio Hotstar

Basil Joseph’s PonMan is one of the well appreciated movies from Malayalam Cinema in recent times. The film was a success at the theatrical release, and it arrived on OTT lately. Let’s find out why it has achieved good appreciation from the theatrical and OTT audiences in our review.

Story:

Ajesh, a gold dealer, loans 25 sovereigns to Bruno for his sister, Steffi’s wedding, expecting to receive all the gifts given to the bride. When the family cannot pay the money, Ajesh decides to get it by any means. The rest of the story is how he faces Steffi’s husband Mariyano, a criminal who has his reasons for stockpiling gold.

Performances:

Basil Joseph is terrific in the character of Ajesh. He shows superb command in some crucial scenes. Lijomol Jose and Sajin Gopu perform well, while Anand Manmadhan, Sandhya Rajendran, Jaya Kurup, and Deepak Parambol also make a good impact. 

Analysis:

The movie takes place in Kollam and adapts GR Indugopan’s Nalanchu Cheruppakarar. The film stands out as its underdog characters seize every opportunity to rise from hardship.

Initially, it takes a while to get going, and some sluggish segments in the latter half slow things down. But the positive points work superbly for the film. The significant confrontation between Ajesh and Mariyano demonstrates Mariyano’s shift towards immorality in pursuit of financial stability, which results in audiences rooting for Ajesh.

Moreover, a seamless transition of Steffi and Ajesh’s relationship at the climax is neatly enhanced by perfect dialogues.

Positives:

  • Performances
  • Engaging Screenplay (For Most of the Parts)
  • Some Crucial Moments

Negatives:

  • Dull Feel in the Beginning
  • Stretched Moments in the Second Half

PonMan Movie Review and Verdict:

Jothish Shankar’s PonMan is a well-made emotional drama. This film captivates with convincing performances from Basil Joseph, Lijomol, and Sajin Gopu and a neatly done screenplay except for a few flaws. 

Lyca Productions to Shut Down

0

Lyca Productions entered Kollywood with a sensational debut blockbuster of Vijay, AR Murugadoss’s Kaththi. Over the years, the banner made many big films, but they faced failures for the most part. The latest shocking news is that Lyca Productions will shut down soon.

After a big blockbuster like Kaththi, the production house has seen many ups and downs continuously, and recently they hit rock bottom with very big losses. Lyca Productions’ recent films are Chandramukhi 2, Mission: Chapter One, Indian 2, Lal Salaam, Vettaiyan, and the latest Vidaamuyarchi. All movies have resulted in big losses for the banner.

The production house lost heavy amounts with Rajinikanth and Shankar’s films. 2.0, Darbar, Lal Salaam, Vettaiyan, and Indian 2. These films resulted in massive loss ventures for them, and their recent release, Ajith’s Vidaamuyarchi, also resulted in a massive loss of crores.

With such back-to-back big failures, Lyca Productions is said to be shutting down. Lately, the Lyca team stepped out of Mohanlal’s Emuparaan by taking the invested money, and Gokulam Movies replaced them.

Lyca has two movies in the pipeline; one is Indian 3, which has almost completed the shooting, and they need to finish the works to recover at least some percentage of money, and their second film is Vijay’s son, Jason Sanjay’s debut directorial film with Sundeep Kishan as the lead.

After completing the two movies in their hands, the production house will most likely not produce any films as per reports.

0

Backed by Natural Star Nani and starring Priyadarshi as the lead, the latest legal drama, Court, is rocking at the box office. With the power of its content and positive talk, the film is drawing audiences to the theaters. Court Day 2’s box office is excellent, as it surpasses opening day and premieres in India.

Court Continues its Rampage at the Box Office

On the opening day (including the early premieres), the court collected 5 Cr gross in India, and the overseas number was around 3 Cr, which takes the total to 8 Cr, which is a stunning start for the film.

On Day 2, along with maintaining the same momentum, it even witnessed a growth over the first day. The trade expects day 2 of the film to be much bigger than the opening day. The worldwide numbers on the second day are expected to be in a similar range as day 1.

Court: Terrific hold on Day 2 and an excellent Day 3 Guaranteed

Because overseas day 1 + premier numbers will be higher than day 2. So the film is likely to collect around 8 Cr gross on the second day as well. Court Day 2’s box office is excellent, as it surpasses opening day and premieres in India.

Tomorrow being Sunday, the film is expected to be even bigger than day 2 in India, and the advance bookings are already looking very promising. A small film with a court backdrop doing such huge numbers is definitely an unexpected feat, and the weekend number of the film will be in the range of 25 Cr gross.

Prakash Raj takes a dig at Pawan Kalyan again

0

The Formation Day celebration of Tollywood Actor Pawan Kalyan’s political party, Janasena, happened yesterday. The Actor participated in the event and criticized people who opposed the Hindi Imposition by backing it. He questioned why few Tamil films were being released in North Indian States if they opposed the Hindi language. These comments didn’t go well with the netizens, who slammed Pawan Kalyan for his biased stand on the same issue.

Pawan Kalyan, back in 2017, strongly opposed Hindi Imposition and came out heavily against the BJP Government, terming it “North Indian Leadership”. But he later went into alliance with the same party. Actor Prakash Raj now took a dig at Pawan Kalyan, quoting the latter’s tweet on the same Hindi Imposition topic in 2017 where he strongly opposed Hindi Imposition and also appealed to the “North Indian leadership” to respect Cultural diversity. With this tweet, Prakash Raj irked Pawan Kalyan, and this is not the first time. The Actor, in the past, countered it the same way when Pawan Kalyan made an issue on Tirumala Laddu.

Prakash Raj didn’t stop there, he posted a tweet again terming Pawan Kalyan as Bhajana Senani from being Janasenani after winning the elections. This tweet is also going viral now. Fans and the Audience are also upset with Pawan Kalyan repeatedly taking up the ideology of the BJP when he runs a party himself. The Actor has also been getting trolled nationwide since yesterday for shifting his ideologies and stands. We need to see how he responds to these trolls.

Sivakarthikeyan’s Paraskathi Telugu Teaser

The film is based on real incidents that happened in 1970′ in Tamil Nadu, and it deals with the concept of Hindi imposition. Now this film gets another exciting addition in the form of the latest popular hero from Malayalam, Basil Joseph. 

A leaked still brings more hype to Parasakthi

A leaked still from the film’s sets has Ravi Mohan and Basil Joseph taking center stage, with Basil in a railway officer uniform. This interesting addition to the cast will definitely add more value to the film. The Tami Cinema fans are excited as another big name joins Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi.

Basil Joseph is one of the best actors in this generation who makes the scene more beautiful irrespective of genre, such as comedy or emotion, and he is always very choosy about the scripts, so it is certain that there will be a strong character for him in the film.

The team did not officially announce the addition of Basil into the cast. However, as the leak still has been spread online, the makers will likely announce it very soon.

0

Coolie, starring Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is the most hyped film for Tamil cinema in recent years. With the announcement itself, the film produced massive hype among audiences, and they are eagerly awaiting its theatrical release. Coolie’s OTT deal has been finished, and it came with mixed results.

Massive Hype for Rajini – Lokesh’s Coolie

Besides Rajini, this action thriller also stars Nagarjuna, who plays a crucial role, and other stars like Aamir Khan, Soubin, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Satyaraj, who appear in major roles, along with Pooja Hegde, who appears in a special song.

The film’s music is composed by the sensational music director Anirudh. Big production house Sun Pictures is backing it. All these factors disclose how big the film is, and undoubtedly, it is the biggest film from Kollywood that has every chance of breaking all the existing records of Tamil cinema.

Cooli’s OTT Deal: Good But Not The Best

The theatrical businesses for Coolie are happening at record prices, whereas, like all films, Coolie also has an impact of decline in the OTT market. The film’s digital rights are said to be bagged by Prime Video for 120 Cr.

An amount of 120 crore rupees is definitely huge, and many of the films are failing in recent times to get such big offers from OTT platforms. However, looking at the film’s range and comparing it with old Tamil movies and digital businesses, this is less. Rajinikanth’s Coolie’s OTT deal has been finished, and it came with mixed results.

Many films are getting affected by the decline in the OTT market across industries. Especially, the Tamil and Telugu films received massive prices for OTT deals earlier, but now the situation has changed.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie: The Uncertanity around the Release Date

Meanwhile, Coolie’s team seems to have finalized all the things, and just locking a release date is pending. The makers are interested in releasing the film for Independence Day weekend, but it will have to face competition with WAR 2, which is also releasing at the same time.

So the producers of Rajini—Lokesh’s Coolie are looking at other dates as well, but all noted dates are already locked by other films. So, we need to wait and see what the Sun Pictures team decides. The film’s teaser is said to be delayed for the same reason, as the team wants to release the teaser with the theatrical release date.
