Ponthan Mada is a 1994 Malayalam film written and directed by T. V. Chandran. The film stars Mammootty and Naseeruddin Shah. It is based on two short stories, Ponthan Mada and Sheema Thampuran by C.

Crossing the class boundaries, the two communicate through Thampuran's window with Mada hanging from a palm tree.
