Ponmagal Vandhal (transl. The precious girl has arrived) is a 2020 Indian Tamil-language legal drama film written and directed by J. J. Fredrick in his directorial debut, and produced by Suriya under his banner 2D Entertainment. The film stars Jyothika leading an ensemble cast including R. Parthiban, K. Bhagyaraj, Thiyagarajan, Pratap K. Pothan and Pandiarajan. The film featured music composed by Govind Vasantha, cinematography handled by Ramji and editing done by Ruben. It revolves around a rookie lawyer who leads to the reopening of a notorious 15-year-old case of a dead killer, alleged to have kidnapped and murdered young girls.
Ponmagal Vandhal was initially scheduled for theatrical release on 27 March 2020; however was postponed indefinitely, following the Tamil Nadu government's orders to closure of cinema theatres, as a safety precautional measure due to COVID-19 pandemic. The producers later planned for a digital release through the streaming service Amazon Prime Video. Being Amazon's first Indian digital film and the maiden Tamil film to be released on a streaming platform following pandemic restrictions, the film was premiered digitally on 29 May 2020 and received mixed reviews from critics, praising Jyothika's performance, story and the social message conveyed in the film, but criticised the lack of depth in the narration, slow-paced and clichéd screenplay. However, it became one of the most watched films in digital streaming services of the year.[1]
