Excited about Ponniyin Selvan 2 Release Date? We got You!! Mani Ratnam’s recent blockbuster hit film, Ponniyin Selvan, is based on the novel by Kalki Krishnamurthy. Although it was not the first time, a film adaptation of the novel was attempted by any filmmaker.
Even more than fifty years before the release of Ponniyin Selvan by Mani Ratnam, filmmakers M. G. Ramachandran attempted to adapt the novel to real-life characters, but because of the low budget, it never got materialized.
Later in the year 1980, Ravi Ratnam attempted to adapt the novel for the first time, but because of some reason, it got canceled. By calling it his “Dream Project,” Ratnam attempted for the second time, with the help of funding he got from Lyca, in 2019.
On September 30, 2022, the film was finally got released in theaters all around the world under the direction and production of Mani Ratnam. Almost everything in the film, from the music, cast performance, acting, and visuals, to the direction, was well-praised by critics all over the world.
Ponniyin Selvan Chapter 1 not only collected more than ₹510 Crore worldwide but also multiple titles like Fifteen Highest Grossing Indian Film of All Time”, ” The Highest Grossing Tamil Film Of 2022″, and “Fourth Highest Grossing Tamil Of All Time.”
What Ponniyin Selvan Is All About?
Mohan reworked the material into two films that have to please the legions of lovers of the book, but the film also has to seduce the newbies like many of us, who had not heard of Ponniyin Selvan, until the film was announced. It’s a herculean task, and the film, at least the Hindi dubbed version, only partially succeeds at it.
A Still From Ponniyin Selvan 2 (credits- Lyca Production)The story of warring kings and chieftaincies stole through the eyes of Vanthiyathevan, the playful, flirtatious friend of the prince. Vanthiyathevan is a soldier, spy, traveler, and courier of messages and tales. We discover most of the other characters through him, and then there are several.
Aditha Karikalan, the elder prince, is numbing his pain in endless bloodshed and wars; Arulmozhi Varman, the younger prince, is fighting Lanka; their sister Kundavai Devi who is politically astute and highly capable of running the kingdom but is restricted by her gender; Nandani, the wife of the key chieftain who is plotting her own revenge; Sundara Chola, the early King who at one point rebukes his queen saying his body is infirm not is mind, and this is only the half of it. Even post-interval, new characters are being introduced.
The plot keeps moving from one location to another. In fact, the story is so dense that the screenplay barely has any time to build the characters or marinate in emotion or create momentum. The narrative flattens out into one twist after another. And there are so many fractions jostling in this game of thrones that it becomes hard to keep track and consequently to stay invested but it is also impossible to look away.
