Ponniyin Selvan 2 starring Aishwarya Rai, Vikram and Jayam Ravi released on the big screens on April 28 and here’s what the Janta thought of the period drama!
After an extremely successful part one, Mani Ratnam’s magnus opus, Ponniyin Selvan is back with part 2. The movie, just like its first part, has breathtaking visuals and is made on a grand scale. The movie picks up from where it left us in the previous part. Nandini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) who is out to seek revenge from The Cholas and wants to see the death of her father is ready to destroy them anyway she can. The movie features Vikram as Prince Aadhita Karikalan, Karti as Vandhiyathevan, Prakash Raj as Sundara Cholar, Trisha as Princess Kunthavai, Sarath Kumar as Periya Pazhuvettarayar, and Radhakrishnan Partiban as Chinna Pazhuvettarayar. Of course, Jayam Ravi plays Arunmozhi Varman aka the titular Ponniyin Selvan who is ready to face Nandini in Ponniyin Selvan 2.
The Janta is just as mesmerized by Part 2 as it was with the first one. Everyone is praising Mani Ratnam for his vision and bringing this fine piece of literature to life so beautifully. Of course A.R. Rahman’s background score gave the Janta goosebumps this time around as well. But Aishwarya Rai is the one who totally stood out in the film for everyone unanimously. Her portrayal of Nandini, according to the audience, is one for the history books.
