Mani Ratnam’s dream project, Ponniyin Selvan 2 was released in the theaters on Friday and received a good response from the audience and critics as well. The audience liked it better than part 1 because this sequel had more emotional connect. The film, though a bit under performed on the opening day, the numbers raised on day 2 as expected by the trade circles, and it continued the good run at the box office even after the opening weekend as it crossed the magical 200 Crore Mark.
The film has enjoyed a good extended weekend in the Tamil language, and the other languages were below par. Today being the first working day, the film has witnessed a big drop even in the Tamil. Now it looks like the film cannot break the collections of part 1 in the Tamil language itself. May be this will be for the first time in history that a sequel is getting less collections than the first part even when the film has better talk than its predecessor.
The story of Ponniyin Selvan 2 explores the past love story between Aditha Karikalan and Nandini, how they were separated and what made Nandini to seek vengeance on Chola Kingdom. The narrative also follows Arunmozhi Varman’s rise as the renowned emperor Rajaraja Chola.
The film comprises a huge star cast that includes Vikram, Karthi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha, and Jayam Ravi. Ashwin Kakumanu, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Sarath Kumar, Prabhu, Vikram Prabhu, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, Parthiban, Lal, and Mohan Raman are also part of the cast. The movie is Produced by Madras Talkies in association with Lyca Productions.
The music of the film is scored by AR Rahman, and the cinematography has been handled by Ravi Varman, editing by Sreekar Prasad, production design by Thotta Tharani, dialogues by Jeyamohan, costumes by Eka Lakhani, make-up by Vikram Gaikwad, and choreography by Brinda.
