Pokkiri Simon is an interesting blend of comedy and relatable drama, showcasing the life of a young Malayalee boy completely consumed by his admiration for the Tamil superstar Vijay. The film captures that peculiar obsession many have with their cinematic idols, and how that can twist into something more complicated. The pacing has this unique ebb and flow, oscillating between lighthearted moments and heavier themes about parental expectations and self-identity. Jijo Antony's direction lends a distinctive touch to the film, with practical effects used creatively to depict Simon's fantasies. Performances feel genuine, especially from the lead, who navigates this obsession with a charming naivety that resonates. It's a look at fandom, dreams, and the ties that bind family, all wrapped in a comedic package.
