Ponmagal Vandhal movie review and Live updates

JJ Fredrick’s Ponmagal Vandhal has been in the news for its creators’ choice to discharge it straightforwardly on an OTT stage (the principal prominent Tamil film to do as such), and the discussion encompassing it. Be that as it may, it takes just a couple of moments into the film for us to understand that the producers were by and large only reasonable by taking this course as opposed to go for a showy discharge. For, both in its composition and making, there is a solid caused for-TV to feel about this task.

Ponmagal Vandhal is an unashamed message film in the appearance of a court dramatization and banks exclusively on the crusading energy of its lead star to assist it with getting a great decision from the crowds. Since the time her arrival to acting, in 2015’s 36 Vayadhinile, Jyotika has to a great extent been leading activities that are driven by a message, in any event, acquiring her the sobriquet Female Samuthirakani. As in the on-screen character’s case, her movies have begun to be just about the message, yielding narrating and art simultaneously.

While this probably won’t be excessively tricky in a film like Raatchasi, that isn’t the situation in this film, fundamentally on account of its classification – court show. The film starts with a quiet visual of a cloudy mountain scape. Yet, soon, the calm is broken by firearm shots. We are informed that Jyothi, a North Indian lady, has killed a few youngsters who were attempting to safeguard a young lady whom she had captured. News reports guarantee that she is a psycho executioner who grabs and murders young ladies.

What’s more, we discover that she has been shot dead in a police activity. The film at that point slices to 15 years after the fact when Venba (Jyotika), a new kid on the block legal advisor, figures out how to get the court to revive Jyothi’s case and contends her side. Who is she and for what reason would she say she is gambling everything, particularly with the open conclusion firmly against her? To the extent court shows go, Ponmagal Vandhal is firmly dreary. Rather than red hot exchanges and charged contentions between the contradicting legal counselors what we get are passionate articulations being made look like dangerous verification.

What’s more, to top it, Fredrick even gives us shots of individuals in the court clearing off their tears on hearing the lead’s sincere discourse. In any case, several lines do hit their imprint – Udal reedhiya thunburuthapatta palapaer kitta unmaiya thavira endha saatchiyum irukkadhu. Furthermore, Ramji’s cinematography makes the slope station scenery wake up, particularly in the night shots. In any case, the story is totally unsurprising prompting a film that is not exactly convincing consistently.

The film uncovers its cards directly at the outset that pretty much every turn does not shock anyone and there is no pressure in the procedures. The treatment feels shallow, all the more so in light of the fact that the film manages a delicate issue — sexual maltreatment of kids.

There are a lot of supporting characters – Venba’s dad Petition Pethuraj (K Bhagyaraj), the rival legal advisor Rajarathinam (Parthiban, whose Parthibanisms in the discoursed grind due to the film’s tone), a rich and ground-breaking agent Varadharajan (Thiagarajan) and the principled adjudicator (Pratap Pothen) – however none of them are created past their one-note qualities. Concerning Jyotika, who gets the opportunity to assume two jobs, she gives us sincerity, however that isn’t sufficient to rescue the unnecessarily exaggerated story.
