Ponniyin Selvan 2 is a box office failure in Telugu and Hindi markets

Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan 2 was released on 30th April to mostly positive reviews and special applause for the master director’s narration and Vikram and Aishwarya Rai’s performance. The film, just like its previous version released to packed houses in Tamil Nadu. It has been doing considerably well in overseas markets as well.

However, the same can’t be said about the Telugu and Hindi versions. The film has emerged as a box-office failure in Telugu states and the rest of India. In Telugu states, the film might close with a single-digit share, and in Hindi also, it may do numbers in the range of Ponniyin Selvan1. This is a poor performance considering the standard set by previous big-ticket sequels like Baahubali 2, 2. O and KGF 2 which is very poor for sequels.

Ponniyin Selvan 1 brought okayish numbers in Telugu and did decent box-office figures in Hindi. But the sequel is trending below part 2 in both these two languages. The film marked the return of Cholas and picked up from where the last part ended. Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha, Karthi, and Jayam Ravi will star in this Mani Ratnam directorial. AR Rahman is composing the music for the film.

The 2nd part needs to collect at least 650Cr gross for hit status. Now, the question arises if the film can manage to score well on both these fronts despite the lower-than-expected buzz.
