Despite an overly melodramatic narrative and a cliched screenplay, Ponmagal Vandhal is watchable because of the compelling lead performance of Jyothika who excels as 'Venba' a lawyer fighting for justice. She is superb especially in the emotional sequences and makes your root for her cause right from the beginning.
An important story that deserves to be told, Ponmagal Vandhal nevertheless doesn't rise to the levels of a must watch since all the secondary characters like Partiban and Bhagyaraj are largely subdued in their performances and ultimately it seems like justice was delivered without the desparate vigour, resistance and tension we have seen in classic courtroom dramas . Don't set your expectations high and you won't be disappointed.
