    Ponman

    Pon-man is the greatest superhero, powered by incredible courage and humanism, rising from the thick, golden sludge of working-class life, his petite physique miraculously appearing before people when they expect him the least, to show them light.

    This could have been better, certainly, more thoughtful and suggestive, with a more controlled use of songs in the narrative and better narrative flow. But that doesn't diminish the appeal of this film in the contemporary mainstream scenario. If one is to overlook its aesthetic plainness, this is a better film than Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum.

    Ajeesh's courage is inspiring.

    I've come back from the dead to pay my sympathies to Amal, for his loss of mirth and mojo. This is his weakest film – the sort a Pushkaran-less Aashiq Abu would make.

    Jyothirmayi looks gold, but she's been defeated by the screenplay and edit structure, which have the texture of a plastic bag. The film lacks humour, except where it becomes unintentionally funny.

    It's also poorly filmed.

    I should stop watching films, lest I witness the fall of talented technicians before my eyes.
