On January 30, 2025, the movie starring Basil Joseph and Sajin Gopu titled Ponman was released in theaters. In no time, it became a smash hit at the box office, garnering praise from both critics and viewers. The earnings it generated were quite promising.
The film’s title, “Gold Man,” is derived from a true-life event.
To help you understand better, the plot of the movie “Ponman” draws inspiration from the well-known novel “Naalanchu Cheruppakar,” penned by G.R. Indugopan.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that the author didn’t come up with the idea for the novel on his own. In fact, the initial spark was provided by Jyothish Shankar, the film director, who shared the story with him. The inspiration for this tale came from Jyothish’s personal life experiences.
In this tale, we follow the adventures of Ponman, a character deeply connected to both the book’s author and filmmaker, as they are all fellow townspeople of Kollam. The narrative unfolds amidst the vibrant cityscape of Kollam, where our protagonist, Jyothish, calls home.
Apart from drawing inspiration from personal events, the film starring Basil Joseph extensively draws upon societal settings as well, focusing particularly on exposing and criticizing the pervasive social issues that have significantly damaged the cultural identity of numerous regions.
This includes the mention of dowry, a practice that remains persistent in Indian society at large.
Regarding the response to the film “Ponman”, it has earned a unique endorsement from director Anurag Kashyap. He considers it as one of the most sincere portrayals in cinema.
A snippet from the director’s review was found online, where he said, “It’s incredibly original and a blast! Basil Joseph is undeniably one of the most charismatic everyday actors out there right now. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
If you haven’t heard yet, Ponman has made its way onto streaming platforms! Movie enthusiasts can now watch it conveniently online through the Jio Hotstar portal.
