Ponniyin Selvan’s theatrical run was one filled with contradictions. While the Tamil theatrical run was superb and the film received terrific reviews in Tamil, it was exactly the opposite in Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada. Ponniyin Selvan 1 emerged as an all-time blockbuster in Tamil while ending up being a loss venture in Telugu and Hindi in particular.
Lyca Productions expected very huge numbers in all languages but the audience of other states have shown little interest because of average word of mouth. The makers believed thought that Ponniyin Selvan, just like KGF will be a huge hit in OTT in other languages.
But even in its OTT release has received cold reception quite also the film is receiving poor reviews from audience. Solid OTT reception was much required for building great expectations for the film’s second part. But now, it looks like the sequel will not have hype from other languages that Baahubali2 or KGF2 enjoyed across Indian cinema.
The sequel now has a huge craze only in Tamil and needs a superb word of mouth to attract other language audiences to theatres.
