Women Power
Even though it’s a predictable storyline it’s a much relevant needed story telling to the society. Many women and children don’t speak their pain in this society because of fear.Suriya and team needs to give more power to women like this. #PonmagalVandhal

Whether the movie was released in theatres, or on digital platform, some users always opt for the illegal downloading of the films. Despite the direct online release, Ponmagal Vandhal was not spared from the online piracy curse. It has to be seen how the makers react to the post-release reactions of the fans.
