Ponniyin Selvan 2 movie review: 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.
Mani Ratnams Ponniyin Selvan is established as his own even in the first part, and this is reinforced in the second instalment. Although Kalki Krishnamurthys story remains intact, the film has some twists and changes to the novels plot. However, Manis magic translates into a fine on-screen adaptation.
If Kalki’s literary magnum opus belongs to Arunmozhi Varman, Mani Ratnam’s film belongs to Aditha Karikalan. And who can resist Vikram when he’s at the top of his game?
When Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 was released on September 30, 2022, the films overdramatic emotions, screenplay, and pace were cited as a negative aspect, back in AP and Telangana.
Fans sing praises for PS-2 after it's release in cinema halls on April 28. Some even called it better than Bahubali 2.
