Ponman
Ajesh,a jewellery agent lends 25 sovereigns of gold to Bruno for his sister Steffi's wedding, only to recover just half. When he demands the rest, he’s drawn into a tense comeback battle with Steffi's husband Mariano, an infamous prawn farmer in coastal Kollam.
Self Reliance
When a man is offered a million dollars to play a game in which hunters try to kill him, he thinks he has found the perfect loophole: they can only attack when he’s alone. His only problem is that none of his friends or family believe the game is real. Forced to seek companionship in unexpected places, he navigates the bizarre challenge with humor, paranoia, and a surprising search for connection.
