PONNIYIN SELVAN PART 2 MOVIE REVIEW CLICK TO RATE THE MOVIE

Ponniyin Selvan 2 is a Tamil period drama directed by Mani Ratnam, written by Kalki, screenplay by Mani Ratnam, Jeyamohan, and Elango, and produced jointly by Madras Talkies and Lyca Productions. The film has Chiyaan Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha, Jayaram and others playing pivotal roles. The music is composed by AR Rahman and the cinematography is by Ravi Varman.

Ponniyin Selvan 1 ended with Oomai Rani (Aishwarya Rai) saving Arunmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi) from drowning in the sea. Meanwhile, Aditha Karikalan is coming back to Thanjai after sensing Nandini's plan. Kundhavai (Trisha) and the entire family of Sundara Cholan distraught after hearing the news about Arunmozhi Varman's death, while Vanthiyathevan (Karthi) and Nambi (Jayaram) plan to protect Arunmozhi from the Pandyas.

The sequel is mainly about whose plan works out at the end and how the Chola empire manages to stay intact despite all the politics surrounding the throne. Does Arunmozhi Varman manage to get the throne? Does Mani Ratnam do justice to the original story by Kalki?

There is a popular adage that a lot of filmmakers follow - "Kill the writers before going to shoot". But can an epic film like Ponniyin Selvan be meddled with? Well, this is what makes Mani Ratnam what he is. He makes a few changes from the book, deleting a few characters, but the overall superstructure remains intact. Despite the length of the book and the amount of research available, Mani Ratnam has succeeded in encapsulating all 5 volumes into the two parts.

His vision gets fantastic support from the cast comprising Chiyaan Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha and Jayaram. While the rest of the actors are good in the limited screen time they have, the main star cast use their experience to the fullest. We couldn't see much of Vikram's acting versatility in the first part but here he gets an opportunity to unleash the beast inside him and he uses it to the fullest.

The other backbone are music director AR Rahman and cinematographer Ravi Varman. There is a crucial scene before the climax and the way that scene has been staged, shot and the choice of background score speaks volumes about how rich the film is technically.

Overall, the film is as good as the first part, and Mani Ratnam has done justice to the book, collectively through both the parts. While there is always a feel that things are a bit slow paced, this is probably what the film needs. It engages you till the end while the entertainment quotient is lesser than the first part. Nevertheless this is an experience one cannot afford to miss.

Ponniyin Selvan 2 review and release LIVE UPDATES: Mani Ratnam film gets positive response

Ponniyin selvan 2 movie release, movie review live updates: aishwarya rai, jayam ravi, karthi, trisha and vikram return in mani ratnam film based on kalki krishnamurthy’s five-part novel series..

ps2 movie review tamil

The second part of Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan 2 is now out in the theaters. Actors Vikram, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Prakash Raj, Jayaram, Prabhu, R Sarathkumar, Parthiban, Rahman, and Vikram Prabhu reprise their roles in the second installment of the epic drama that narrates the story of the Chola Dynasty. The film is an adaptation of Kalki Krishnamurthy’s five-part novel series of the same name. Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 covered one-third of the novel series and the rest is expected to be told in the second part.

From the trailer of Ponniyin Selvan 2, we already know that Vikram’s Karikalan is offered to rule half of the Chola kingdom and for the other half, a new crown prince has been announced after the apparent death of Ponniyin Selvan. However, Jayam Ravi, who plays the titular character, is shown to be alive.

ps2 movie review tamil

Ponniyin Selvan 1 received mixed reviews. But the film did a smashing business at the ticket counter, minting over Rs 480 crore globally.

Ponniyin Selvan 2 marks the fifth collaboration between Mani Ratnam and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after Iruvar, Ravan, Guru, and Ponniyin Selvan 1.

When asked if Aishwarya is his lucky charm, the filmmaker said during a press conference, “Filmmakers are very selfish people. Absolutely heartless and selfish, the only thing they care for is the film. However much I love her, I ask her only if I think she is right for the role. Every time I have asked her is because I have believed that she was absolutely right for the role and she has been nice enough to say yes. So, she is not just a lucky charm for me, it is her talent and her personality that was right to portray this character.”

Filmmaker Mani Ratnam's wife Suhasini Maniratnam posted a picture just before watching Ponniyin Selvan 2.

Know your level ra goltis 🫡 #ManiRatnam >>> @ssrajamouli #PonniyinSelvan2 >> #Bahubali2 PRIDE OF INDIAN CINEMA #PS2 👑🐐 pic.twitter.com/wVG0JmSyut — Kanchipuram Vijay Fan (@VfcKanchipuram) April 28, 2023

Many fans are comparing Baahubali and Ponniyin Selvan 2, calling Mani Ratnam the better filmmaker.

Actor Vikram, in an interview with PTI, said that the aura of the film was bigger than the cast's individual image. "When you go to a set, you have your aura, big or small hero, and everybody responds to you that way, unless you are a new face. So, the way you are treated you take that for granted. But when you have a film like this, everybody here is a hero or heroine. Then there is Mani sir, who is the master craftsman, (so) when we went there, we all forgot that image."

Trade analyst Sreedhar Pillai has given a positive review to Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan 2.

#PonniyinSelvan2 Review: Brilliant! An outstanding masterpiece from #ManiRatnam , where storytelling, perfect casting, production design & making blend beautifully. Terrific performances - #Vikram as #Karikalan & #AishwariyaRai as Nandini are the pivot around which film… pic.twitter.com/He6BcMHh8R — Sreedhar Pillai (@sri50) April 28, 2023

Mani Ratnam rejected Trisha's request of wanting to play Nandini in Ponnyin Selvan and he said ‘only Aishwarya Rai can do it’. Trisha went on to essay the character of Princess Kundavai. READ MORE

Indian Express gave Mani Ratnam's film a four out of five stars. A part of Ponniyin Selvan 2 movie review read, "Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan 2 will have polarizing views. While the fans of the book might be disappointed with some major deviations from the book, the ace director understands the form won't let him be entirely faithful to the novel." Read the full review here.

@MovieCrow tweeted, "#PonniyinSelvan2 First half takes it up a notch higher. Drama intensifies. Not a single character wasted nor compromised. Narration pace is not hurried as more knots unfold. Maniratnam makes sincere attempt to stay true to the Kalki's vision #ARRahman #ManiRatnam #Chiyaan."

Anupama Chopra shared her review for Ponniyin Selvan 2 and tweeted, "#PonniyinSelvan2 is enthralling. Visually sumptuous but more importantly, rich in emotion. The superbly rendered tragic love story  between Aditya and Nandini powers the film. Detailed review coming soon but do watch - preferably in Tamil with subtitles!"

Nandini/Mandakini is easily one of the finest performances by #AishwaryaRaiBachchan 👏 I'm completely speechless 🫡 Her scenes with #ChiyaanVikram are simply outstanding 😃 She perfectly showcases various emotions🔥 A Brilliant Performer👏 #AishwaryaRai #PonniyinSelvan2 #PS2 pic.twitter.com/hfCMexelRt — Kumar Swayam (@KumarSwayam3) April 28, 2023

When director Mani Ratnam‘s Ponniyin Selvan 1 released on September 30, 2022, it turned out to be a disruptor at the box office. While the original Tamil version raced ahead of its other regional counterparts, the film emerged as the highest Tamil earner of 2022, with its global gross collection above Rs 500 crore. Now, as the film’s second part Ponniyin Selvan 2 (PS2) gears up for release this Friday, all eyes are on the sequel’s performance not just on home turf but across all five languages too. READ MORE

Many characters were introduced in a short span in Ponniyin Selvan 1, which made the film a bit of an information overload for many. So, here's a list of characters inhabiting the Chola kingdom which will keep you prepared for the second part. READ MORE.

In an interview with PTI, Mani Ratnam said, "For years, India has been making films in Hindi and they have travelled down south. Aradhana was a huge hit there and there have been several instances. It is only a return gift I think. It's a fantastic sign that you can make a film in any language in India and it'll become an Indian film, not necessarily a north, south Indian film or a Hindi film. So I think it's good. I think people have become more open to it, and that will only increase the variety of films, variety of talent, and improve the overall standard of films.”

Karthi shared new pictures on Instagram ahead of Ponniyin Selvan 2’s release.

In an interview with PTI, Karthi said, “All of us have a feeling that we have spent a lot of time on this film. We did it with a lot of love. We know that these kinds of films don't happen often. So, from the very first day we were cherishing every moment. We were like a cricket team, where the opening batsman has to do well, the middle order has to be good, and the bowlers have to be good too. So, we were always looking out for each other because each one had to do their part well for the film to be good. This film is going to be remembered for a very long time.” 

In an interview with NDTV, Chiyaan Vikram opened up about what may happen in the second installment of the Mani Ratnam directorial. He said, “I can't let you know that but I just say that the romance between him (Aditya Karikalan) and Nandini is... I think it will go down in cinema history as something very special, because you know you have romance, you have one-sided romance. You have someone who is jilted. This one is something... it's love-hate. She loves me so much that she could kill me. It's almost like in The Fountainhead... Dominique Francon and Howard Roark.”

With just a few hours left for the release of Ponniyin Selvan 2, here’s a quick recap of what has happened in Mani Ratman’s adaptation of Kalki Krishnamurthy’s five-part novel series. READ MORE .

In an earlier interview during the promotion of Ponniyin Selvan 2, Jayam Ravi said playing the title role was a “big responsibility”.

“Down south, this is an epitome of a character. They look at him as God, the ruler of the rulers, that’s why Rajaraja means ‘king of kings’. Mani sir called me and said ‘I don’t worry about other characters…’ what he meant was ‘I can handle every other character, but (in) this you have to bring something. You go and live as Rajaraja Chola for six months,” he shared.

ஆதித்த கரிகாலனை கொன்றது யார்? விடை கொடுத்தாரா மணிரத்னம்? - பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2 விமர்சனம் இதோ

லைகா நிறுவனம் தயாரிப்பில் மணிரத்னம் இயக்கத்தில் பிரம்மாண்டமாக ரிலீஸ் ஆகி இருக்கும் பொன்னியின் செல்வன் இரண்டாம் பாகத்தின் விமர்சனத்தை இந்த தொகுப்பில் பார்க்கலாம்.

Maniratnam Magnum opus movie Ponniyin selvan 2 review

மணிரத்னம் இயக்கத்தில் கார்த்தி, விக்ரம், திரிஷா, ஜெயராம், ஜெயம் ரவி, சரத்குமார், பார்த்திபன், ஐஸ்வர்யா லட்சுமி, சோபிதா துலிபாலா, விக்ரம் பிரபு என மிகப்பெரிய நட்சத்திர பட்டாளமே நடித்திருந்த திரைப்படம் தான் பொன்னியின் செல்வன் . தமிழ் சினிமாவின் கனவு திரைப்படமாக இருந்த இதனை நனவாக்கிய பெருமை மணிரத்னத்தை தான் சேரும். ஏற்கனவே முதல் பாகத்தின் மூலம் பிரம்மாண்ட வெற்றியை ருசித்த இப்படக்குழு தற்போது இரண்டாம் பாகத்தை ரிலீஸ் செய்துள்ளனர்.

பொன்னியின் செல்வன் திரைப்படத்தின் இரண்டாம் பாகம் இன்று உலகமெங்கும் பிரம்மாண்டமாக ரிலீஸ் ஆகி உள்ளது. தமிழகத்தில் இப்படத்தை ரெட் ஜெயண்ட் மூவீஸ் நிறுவனம் வெளியிட்டுள்ளது. அதேபோல் லைகா நிறுவனம் தான் இப்படத்தை வெளிநாடுகளில் ரிலீஸ் செய்து உள்ளது. அதன்படி பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2 திரைப்படம் இன்று உலகமெங்கும் 3 ஆயிரத்திற்கும் மேற்பட்ட திரைகளில் ரிலீஸ் ஆகி உள்ளது. இப்படத்தை பார்த்த ரசிகர்கள் தங்களது விமர்சனங்களை டுவிட்டரில் பதிவிட்ட வண்ணம் உள்ளனர். அதன் தொகுப்பை தற்போது பார்க்கலாம்.

இதையும் படியுங்கள்...  முன்பதிவின் மூலம் மட்டும் இத்தனை கோடி வசூலா! ரிலீசுக்கு முன்பே கலெக்‌ஷனில் மாஸ் காட்டும் பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2

Maniratnam Magnum opus movie Ponniyin selvan 2 review

படம் பார்த்த நெட்டிசன் ஒருவர் பதிவிட்டுள்ளதாவது : “பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2 ஒரு மாஸ்டர்பீஸ். இவ்வளவு பிரம்மாண்டமான மற்றும் புத்திசாலித்தனமான திரைப்படத்தை கொண்டு வந்ததற்காக மணிரத்னத்தை பாராட்ட வேண்டும். கதைக்களம், கதாபாத்திரங்கள், காட்சிகள், வசனங்கள் மற்றும் இசை அற்புதமாக இருந்தது. விக்ரம், ஐஸ்வர்யாராய் மற்றும் த்ரிஷாவின் நடிப்பு வேறலெவல். கண்டிப்பாக பார்க்க வேண்டிய படம்” என பாராட்டி பதிவிட்டுள்ளார்.

மற்றொரு பதிவில், “பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2 வெறித்தனமாக உள்ளது. உண்மையாகவே இது தான் இந்திய சினிமாவின் பெருமைக்குரிய படம். டோலிவுட் ரசிகர்களே மன்னிச்சிடுங்க. பாகுபலி 2-வை விட பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2 அருமையாக உள்ளது. பாக்ஸ் ஆபிஸ் ஆபத்தில் உள்ளது” என குறிப்பிட்டுளார்.

மற்றொரு டுவிட்டில்,  “பொன்னியின் செல்வன் முதல் பாகத்தை விட இரண்டாம் பாகம் அருமையாக உள்ளது. கான்செப்ட்டை புரிந்துகொண்டால் இது பாகுபலியைவிட பெரிய படம் என்பதை உணர்வீர்கள். அதிக எதிர்பார்ப்புடன் செல்லுங்கள். மணிரத்னத்தின் மேஜிக் சூப்பராக ஒர்க் அவுட் ஆகி உள்ளது. பாகுபலி பட சாதனைகளை பொன்னியின் செல்வன் தகர்த்தெறியும்” என கூறி உள்ளார்.

மற்றொரு நெட்டிசன் போட்டுள்ள டுவிட்டில், “பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2 தீயாய் இருக்கிறது. சீயான் விக்ரம் ஆதித்த கரிகாலனாக மிரட்டி இருக்கிறார். ஐஸ்வர்யா ராயின் நடிப்பும் அழகும் வேறலெவல். பொன்னியின் செல்வன் முதல் பாகத்தைவிட இரண்டாம் பாகம் சூப்பராக உள்ளது” என குறிப்பிட்டு உள்ளார்.

இன்னொரு டுவிட்டில், ”உண்மையாக சொல்ல வேண்டும் என்றால் பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2 இரண்டு நடிகர்களின் ஷோ என கூறலாம். சியான் விக்ரமும், ஐஸ்வர்யா ராயும் பிரம்மிப்பை ஏற்படுத்துகிறார்கள். மொத்த படத்தையும் தாங்கிச் செல்கிறார்கள்” என பாராட்டி பதிவிட்டு உள்ளார்.

இப்படி பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2 படத்துக்கு தொடர்ந்து பல்வேறு பாசிடிவ் விமர்சனங்கள் வந்து குவிந்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றன. மேற்கண்ட விமர்சனங்களைப் பார்க்கும்போது படமும் வேறலெவலில் இருப்பதாக தெரிகிறது. இதன்மூலம் இப்படமும் பாக்ஸ் ஆபிஸில் வசூல் வேட்டை நடத்தும் என்பது உறுதியாக தெரிகிறது.

பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2-ம் பாகத்தை ரசிகர்கள் ஆவலோடு எதிர்பார்த்திருந்ததற்கு காரணம் ஆதித்த கரிகாலனை கொன்றது யார் என்பதை தெரிந்து கொள்வதற்காக தான். கல்கி தன்னுடைய நாவலில் இதனை ஒரு மர்மமாகவே வைத்திருப்பார். அந்த மர்மத்தை இப்படத்தில் மணிரத்னம் எப்படி கையாண்டுள்ளார் என்பதை வெளியிட்டு அது ஸ்பாயிலராகிவிடக் கூடாது என்பதற்காக படம் பார்த்த நெட்டிசன்கள் யாரும் அதனை வெளியிடவில்லை.

இதையும் படியுங்கள்...  ‘பொன்னியின் செல்வன் 2’ நடிகர் - நடிகைகளின் சம்பள விவரம் இதோ!

Ponniyin Selvan 2 Review - Magnum Opus

Published date : 28/apr/2023.

Ponniyin Selvan 2 Review - Magnum Opus

Ponniyin Selvan 2 Review - Magnus Opus

FDFS Review

( Spoiler-free review ) The first ended with Pandiya rebels taking an oath to spill royal blood and Chola chieftains planning a mutiny against their own. The stage was set with the question of whether the next king will be prince Aditya Kariklan or the hermit Prince Arunmozhi or their estranged uncle Madhuranthakan or Pandiya rebel Amarabujanga.

Writing and Direction

The epic writing by Amarar Kalki weaves a web of conspiracies, mysteries, political turmoil, and impending war with an element of surprise and shock at every step of the way. Mani Ratnam took the burden of huge responsibility on his shoulders to do justice to the epic Tamil novel. The narration pace is not hurried as more knots unfold with unexpected twists and turns. The master admirably delivers a sure-fire winner cautiously and confidently in a self-assured manner.

Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1 faced unfair comparisons to Baahubali . The fans of the novel came in with an expectation that may have been different from the director's vision. The bold decision to set the pace, tone, and mood of the first half part helped clear up all the noise. In the second part, Maniratnam could operate with more creative space to deliver a fitting finale that Amarar Kalki would have been proud of.

Even though Ponniyin Selvan is touted as a multi-starrer, every character plays a part and the success of the movie is when you forget the stardom of these artists. For example, in the scene when Vikram, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, and Trisha share the screen space, you will not hear whistles as the gravity of the scene will keep you glued.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in an author-backed and director-backed role has two of the best emotional scenes in the second part. Every bit of cinematic element comes together to elevate Aishwarya Rai's arguably career-best role.

Every character makes a mark and special place irrespective of screen time. Not a single character was wasted or compromised due to the movie's length. Again, this shows the confidence of Mani Ratnam to give enough breathing space between scenes. The scenes do not feel rushed and as a result, every character gets a moment under the spotlight.

Technicalities

The success of the technical department lies in the fact that you will not break away from the movie to appreciate it. They all blend in seamlessly. Be it AR Rahman's solid background score or the songs. Exceptional art design work (Thotta Tharani) with minute care and detailing for Cholas and Pandyas. The costume design (Eka Lakhani, Chandrakanth Sonawane) and numerous actors who grew their facial hair irrespective of how far back they will be standing in a scene. The computer graphics are used in a subtle and effective way without standing out. Again, a conscious decision to not fall for the comparisons and expectations.

Ponniyin Selvan will be a magnum opus in many ways. Ponniyin Selvan 1 and 2 will go down in history for reasons beyond just box office collections.

Ponniyin Selvan team has done their part. Now do your part. Go watch it in theaters.

Rating: 3.5/5

Kalki Krishnamurthy’s five-part novel series Ponniyin Selvan is adapted into film with the same name by maverick filmmaker Mani Ratnam and made into two parts. The film has a stellar cast – Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Trisha, Jayaram, Sarath Kumar, Vikram Prabhu. While the first part drew mixed reception in Telugu, let’s delve into the second part and find out.

Madhurantaka Chola (Rahman) wants to take over the reigns of Chola dynasty against his parents will. Pedda Paluvettaraiya along with Samanta kings conspire against Aditya Karikala (Vikram) to dethrone him and grab the Chola dynasty. Aditya is in shock of Arun Moli aka Ponniyin Selvan’s feared death in sea tragedy. Huge relief comes with the safe return of Arun Moli. Spy Vallavaraya (Karthi) plays a crucial role in this. But Aditya vows to take revenge against the people behind the conspiracy against Arun Moli.

Pandyas with the help of Paluvur Queen Nandini (Aishwarya Rai) hatch a plan to eliminate Chola Kings – Sundar Chola (Prakash Raj), Aditya Karikala (Vikram) and Arun Moli aka Ponniyin Selvan (Jayam Ravi). Nandini being Aditya’s former lover, he could not say no when she invited him to Kadambur. Despite knowing that Nandini conspired against his murder, Aditya Karikala goes to Kadambur where he dies. The story is all about how Arun Moli and Vallavaraya (Karthi) wipe out the enemies and retain the Chola dynasty.

Performances

Ponniyin Selvan 2 has an ensemble cast and their brilliant performances. Of all, Vikram and Karthi deliver knockout performances as Aditya Karikala and Vallavaraya. While Vikram shows myriad emotions involving anger, love and sadness, Karthi’s role too goes through various ups and downs. His character has a funny side but there is a depth and motive behind his words, actions. From loyalist to the King to becoming suspect in King’s murder, his character journey is nice. Jayam Ravi is decent in titular role Ponniyin Selvan. The story revolves around his character.

Aishwarya Rai lives up to her charm and high expectations of her. Her character Nandini has negative shades and she pulls it off well. She is seen in a dual role. Aishwarya also plays aged woman and speech-impaired Mandakini, mother of Nandini. She does justice to both the roles. Sobhitha Dhulipala is alright as princess Vanathi who is the love interest of Prince Arun Moli. However, she has very little scope to perform. Aishwarya Lekshmi as Poongulali also has brief portion, but she delivers what is expected of her.

Vikram Prabhu turns Parthi Sarathkumar as Pedda Paluvettaraiya got an important role and he does a decent job. Parthiban as Chinna Paluvettaraiya gets sidelined in this vast story. Prakash Raj as patriarch Sundara Chola sticks to his usual style but makes the impact. Jayaram as spy Nambi shines in his portions and different get-ups. Rahman as Madhurantaka is okay and Ashwin Kakumanu as Senthan gets only a couple of scenes with his love interest Poongulali (Aishwarya Lekshmi). Overall, Ponniyin Selvan 2 has talented actors who gave praise-worthy performances.

Technicalities

Critically-acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam makes this epic into a rich and grandeur tale on screen with high technical values. Cinematographer Ravi Varman brings life with impressive visuals and picturesque locales. AR Rahman’s background score heightens the impact of the visuals. VFX work is impressive. Editor Srikar Prasad shows his editing skills.

Sincere Attempt Emotion & Well-Hold Drama Performances, Visuals & BGM

Thumbs Down

Lack Of High Moments Slow Narration More Drama, Less Action

Ponniyin Selvan is an epic whose story is well-known in the public domain and came out as a five-part novel. When it is being adapted on to the big screen, it naturally has its advantages and mammoth challenges for director Mani Ratnam. The whole story of Ponniyin Selvan happens between 3 forts – Thanjavur fort, Kadambur fort and Palayarai fort. But to understand and enjoy Mani Ratnam’s PS 2 on the big screen, one must be aware of the story and its characters prior. For those who already know or read the Ponniyin Selvan novel, the film narration is like a cakewalk. For the unknown, it is indeed challenging.

The film begins with the childhood episodes of Aditya Karikala and Nandini which acts as base for the Ponniyin Selvan 2. The love story of Aditya and Nandini is crucial which is unraveled in the latter half of the film. Who is Nandini and what is her real identity and who is her father have a great interconnection to the proceedings. Why Nandini is owned by Pandyas and why she wants to take revenge against Cholas is depicted well.

The characters, drama unfolding, underlying emotions are herculean tasks to deal with. This is where an experienced filmmaker like Mani tried to keep it as simple as possible with his story-telling. Instead of focusing more on action, he rather played it on emotion and drama. The era of Cholas is well created. He made audiences transport into the Chola dynasty. This is the major victory of the director.

The pre-interval episode and climax sequences are well-made. The scenes between Vikram and Aishwarya Rai are the soul for the film. There is a scene where Vikram addresses Pedda Paluvettaraiya and his Queen Nandini. The expressions of Aishwarya deserve special mention. Vikram, Aishwarya Rai shine and Karthi walks away with laurels in this whole epic. Dialogues penned by Tanikella Bharani are good. Karthi’s funny one-liners bring cheers even in a serious situation.

What bothers Ponniyin Selvan is its slow narration. The film is lengthy but it has honesty. The soul of the film is intact. Definitely, Mani Ratnam took some cinematic liberties in order to narrate such a large tale within the film’s run-time. It also suffers with predictability at portions since the story is well-known. But Mani Ratnam managed to maintain the curiosity throughout on how it happened. This is where the filmmaker and his team scored. He has got strong support from technicians. Ravi Varman’s camera work and AR Rahman’s background score are the two pillars of PS 2.

Ponniyin Selvan 2 is a one-time watch. It is recommended for those who love kings, dynasties, history and drama. The first part may not appealed to many, but the second part has got better and ends on decent note.

Verdict: Better Than Ponniyin Selvan Part 1

Rating: 2.75/5

  • Trivia Director Mani Ratnam and music composer A.R. Rahman did not work with lyricist Vairamuthu on this film, following the latter's #MeToo allegations and controversy. This marked the end of the longest director-composer-lyricist trio in Tamil Cinema, which began since A.R. Rahman's debut on Mani Ratnam's Roja (1992).
  • Goofs The Marwari breed of horses were used for shooting this film. A horse had died in shooting too. In history though, the fastest horses in the world were imported from Arabia for warfare in the Chozha cavalry.

Parthibendran Pallavan : I heard you died at Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar's hands, after getting caught

Vanthiyathevan : I think that I haven't died yet indeed

Parthibendran Pallavan : Your tongue is sharper than sword

Vanthiyathevan : One day you can try my sword's sharpness as well

  • Crazy credits Vanthiyathevan was supposed to be a spy in various scenes, and depicted in ordinary garb in the novel. However, he's always in an armor.
  • Alternate versions In Singapore, the film initially received an NC16 classification due to moments of violence occurred in the film. It is also noted that the Hindi version also received the same classification. The distributor opted to edited the moments of violence in order to lower the rating from NC16 to PG13.

Aditya karikalan’s tragedy forces the question ultimately is power worth the price. Like PS1 PS2 is also long and there are some stretches especially the action sequences in which fatigue sets in despite the duration the screenplay isn’t able to make space for key Revelations to sink in and some characters don’t get enough play like vanity played by shobhita dulipala or the boat woman bungali played by Aishwarya Lakshmi she was so formidable in the first film but gets lost here however PS2 does give Aishwarya Rai Bachchan one of her careers besters

The story of the sequel is very interesting and although it does get confusing at places, it is not as difficult to understand as the first part. The human dramas in the sequel are more interesting, engaging and compelling. The screenplay, written by Mani Ratnam, Jeyamohan and Kumaravel, is pretty interesting. There are so many twists and turns that the audience’s eyes remain glued to the screen. Also, the drama moves at a very fast pace, not letting boredom creep in at any stage. On the whole, Ponniyin Selvan-2 is a lovely entertainer and will do well in Hindi. Its Tamil version will prove to be a hit.

Ratings: 3.5/5  Review By: Suganth Site:Times Of India

In fairness, the climactic portions are hugely impacted by this emotional high, as the events that follow Karikalan’s death cannot match the suspense and the drama the narrative held until then. And Mani Ratnam seems to realise this too, and decides to have a war scene in the end to amp up the drama to give us an adrenaline rush. But the more underwhelming moment is the climax. Even in Kalki’s book, we get a rather low-key ending, with one too many twists, but here, while the writers sensibly give us a more agreeable twist, they fail to pack a punch with the speech that Arulmozhi delivers in the end to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Ratings: 3.5/5  Review By: Shubham Site:Koimoi

For someone who didn’t like Ponniyin Selvan 1, Part 2 came in as a massive shift and a beautiful surprise, mostly because Ratnam has a love saga to tell here at the helm of a story about a reigning house.Ponniyin Selvan 2 works like a brilliant compensation for sitting through a scattered part 1. There is so much to grasp here and a Ratnam brand lethal love saga in the centre of it all LLP. You must invest in this one.

Ratings: 4/5  Review By: Kirubhakar Site:Indian Express

After watching Ponniyin Selvan 2, one can say that the first part was Mani’s way of introducing and establishing the epic, where he didn’t shy away from using screen time for lavish song sequences. In the second part, he is bolder and deviates majorly from the books. Here, Mani Ratnam, the filmmaker, is more faithful to his craft than to the written material. This makes Ponniyin Selvan 2 better cinema, and superior to its first part.

Ratings: 3.5/5  Review By: Dishya Site:News18

Having watched both films now, I feel Ponniyin Selvan deserved a tad more depth, given the various characters and plotlines. The two-part series could have been explored as a grand web series of sorts, something similar to Game of Thrones, or even as a three-part film series, allowing the characters to be fleshed out fully and letting people pick their favourites. Overall, when Ponniyin Selvan was announced, it appeared like a great door-opener for those who weren’t aware of the five-part novel. However, the two-part series concludes as a great cinematic experience that fell short on storytelling.

Ratings: —  Review By: Nandini Site:Scroll

Ratnam’s deeply respectful, family-friendly approach towards Krishnamurthy’s novel ensures that the films stay on the surface without delving into too many subtextual possibilities. Amidst the gorgeous visuals and gracefully choreographed movements of characters, the impeccably clad actors and the attention to period detail, a sense of remorse for ruinous decisions just about sneaks through.

Ratings: 3.5/5  Review By: MovieCrow Site:MovieCrow

The epic writing by Amarar Kalki weaves a web of conspiracies, mysteries, political turmoil, and impending war with an element of surprise and shock at every step of the way. Maniratnam took the burden of huge responsibility on his shoulders to do justice to the epic Tamil novel. The narration pace is not hurried as more knots unfold with unexpected twists and turns. The master admirably delivers a sure-fire winner cautiously and confidently in a self-assured manner. Ponniyin Selvan will be a magnum opus in many ways. Ponniyin Selvan 1 and 2 will go down in history for reasons beyond just box office collections.

Ratings: 2.75/5  Review By: Mirchi9 Site:Mirchi9

All the drama leads to a final big battle for the throne. A huge war scene is shot neatly but without too much high. This and the lack of conclusion to the threads of some popular characters leave one a little unsatisfied at the end. Overall, Ponniyin Selvan 2 holds attention despite all the issues to those who are already connected to the characters and the world. The scale, ambition and casting make the movie a one-time watch with the right expectations set in from the start.

Ratings: 3/5  Review By: 123Telugu Site:123Telugu

On the whole, Ponniyin Selvan 2 is a satisfactory sequel that has some interesting and well-executed sequences. The absorbing storyline, decent drama, and solid performances are its assets. PS 2 is surely better than its predecessor, but to enjoy the film, one has to sit through the slow-paced narrative. Give it a shot if you love watching period dramas.

Ponniyin Selvan 2, the sequel to the Tamil film, Ponniyin Selvan released in theaters today. The film doesn’t quite have the same hype a sequel for a film usually has – like as in Baahubali 2 and KGF 2. The film has an ensemble cast though and it is directed by Manirathnam. Let us see what the film has in store for the viewers.

The second part of Ponniyin Selvan starts with Megastar Chiranjeevi’s voiceover of the story. Proceedings start with Buddhists and Vallavaraiyan saving Arunmozhi, Nandini, and Pandyan groups seeking revenge on Aditya for Veerapandyan’s murder and Madhuranthakan and his Shiva Bakth’s followers aiming for Chola throne. What happens to Aditya Karikalan and Nandini? Will Madhuranthakan gets the supreme chair of the Chola kingdom forms the rest of the story

What about on screen talents?

As mentioned, the film has an ensemble star cast comprising the likes of Karthi, Vikram, Trisha, Jayam Ravi, Sobhita Dulipala, Aishwarya Rai, Nassar, Prabhu, Prakash Raj, and others. Everyone did justice to their roles.

What about the off-screen talents?

The film is made on a large scale and the grandeur is to be seen on big screens. Maniratnam has succeeded in presenting this story of Cholas on a grand scale. But the drama factor doesn’t quite work for all language audiences. Particularly so for the Telugu audience who expect commercial highs in the narration. On top of that, the narration is too slow and makes the audience feel bored many times throughout the movie.

AR Rahman’s songs are passable. They aren’t too great or too bad. The background score is also not worth mentioning. There are no high-pitched BGMs that induce a high to the viewers. The visual presentation is very good though, thanks to the cinematographer and the CGI team.

What’s Hot?

  • Performances
  • Cinematography

What’s Not?

  • Slow narration
  • No high moments
  • Rushed climax

Verdict: Ponniyin Selvan 2, Similar to the first part, depends on the story, cinematography, and performances by the main cast. On the flip side, snail paced narration, no goosebump moments, lackluster BGM by Rahman, and a Rushed climax make it an average watch at the maximum. If you liked PS1, you may give PS2 a try. If not, you can comfortably skip it.
