Movies finding late success has been a recurring trend in Mollywood. 'Ponman' has now joined the club. Basil Joseph's film ‘Ponman’ despite winning critics' praise failed to find success in theatres. However, it seems like the fortunes of ‘Ponman’ are revving up again after their OTT release.
The tidbits from the movie and its scenes are omnipresent across Instagram and other social media platforms. Basil’s role as jewellery agent PP Ajesh is now the talk of the town. People are singing paeans for Basil’s evolution as an actor over the years. Many deem Ajesh from Ponman as the actor's best performance to date. Some others have already made it certain about the actor-director taking home all major awards for acting this year.
At the same time, Basil Joseph shared an Instagram post thanking people for the continuing love pouring in for Ponman after the OTT release.
There are reports about the movie turning into a rave in Tamil Nadu after the OTT release. Many Tamilians are coming in praise for Basil’s performance. Basil’s monologue during a lodge scene from the movie would be the most shared reel during the last week alone in Kerala.
