Porinju Mariam Jose is a 2019 Indian Malayalam-language period action thriller film directed by Joshiy from a screenplay written by Abhilash N. Chandran.

It starred Joju George, Nyla Usha, and Chemban Vinod Jose in the titular characters, while Vijayaraghavan and Rahul Madhav appeared in supporting roles.

It became the fifth Malayalam film of 2019 to successfully complete 100 days in theaters after Lucifer, Kumbalangi Nights, Uyare, and Virus.

It is later revealed that Mariyam was about to elope with Porinju, but her father, Varghese, tied a rope around his neck and threatened to hang himself on a tree if she runs away.

Later, due to schedule conflicts, Biju Menon was replaced by Joju George while Chemban Vinod Jose was earlier confirmed.

[citation needed] The New Indian Express rated 3.5 on a scale of 5 and called it "an intense, high-voltage thriller", and that "the storytelling is not exactly fresh, but the actors and the cathartic violence make Joshiy's latest film compelling".

[8] Sify rated 3.5 in a scale of 5, but called it an "average masala entertainer" and said the film "may be far from perfect but is well packaged and is genuinely engaging", but situations are mostly predictable and at times, unconvincing.

[9] Manorama Online rated 3 out of 5 and wrote: "Joshiy engineers the twin shades of noir and romance, deftly interchanging them at the right moments, for a smooth glide of the narration.

DOP by Ajay David Kachappilly and the brilliant music by Jakes Bejoy compliment [sic] each other and elevate the movie to several notches above".

[12] Deccan Chronicle rated 3 out of 5 stars and stated that "in spite of a slightly stretched storytelling and a predictive second half, PMJ is a good watch".

[14] HuffPost had the opinion that the film may have worked better in the '80s", "the talented cast is let down by a clichéd narrative and a director stuck on his old-school filmmaking skills".

[15] Firstpost rated 1.75 in 5, saying that the "basic story is interesting, and there is a lot this film could have been", but with a "weak writing of its leads, it is unsurprising that Porinju Mariam Jose fails to be an involved, emotionally engrossing narrative".
