Besides being released on the streaming platform, Penguin and Ponmagal Vandhal have a severe semblance to each other. Both movies have female protagonists. And the plot involves the kidnapping of a child and follows the pain of a mother and the ordeal she undergoes. The colour palette and the locales in Penguin too are pretty much similar to that of Ponmagal Vandhal.

Keerthy Suresh plays the role of a mother whose child goes missing. The child is kidnapped by a psychopath whose face is hidden behind a mask. Well, from the looks of it, Penguin surely is a dark film. The trailer leaves many questions answered, will the mother be able to rescue her kid? Or will she seek vengeance from the psychopath? The makers of the film say, Penguin is “a mother’s story.”

The title of the film ‘Penguin’ is pretty interesting. Well, you see Penguins are known to be over-protective about their children and they tend to take care of their little ones in the harshest of weather conditions.

The film is written and directed by Eashvar Karthic. It is produced by Kaarthekeyen Santhanam, Sudhan Sundaram and Jayaram.

Penguin will begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video from June 19.
