Another profound director, Halitha Shameen was moved by the movie. She wrote, "I watched the online premiere show of #PonmagalVandhaal. Emotionally riveting court room drama! Jo ma'am as Venba puts herself in the place of Jyothi and her daughter and fights 'The Jyothi Case' by delivering awe-inspiring performance. #PonmagalVandhaal is an important film that will help even an emotionally hardened person to empathise better and also encourages victims and survivors to speak out. Great intent and fantastic making! Congrats Fredrick & team!"
