What the audience says
The few people who have rated Ponman rate this Malayalam film highly. It's sitting at 7.8/10 on TMDB across 29 ratings — a small sample, so treat it with caution. The 125-minute runtime sits in the comfortable middle. In India you can stream it on JioHotstar.
Should you spend 2h 5m on it?
2h 5m of Malayalam drama with a comedy streak, not one for younger kids. The 7.8 rests on just 29 ratings so far — promising, not proven.
