Ponniyin Selvan: I starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vikram released in the cinemas on September 30. Let’s find out what the Janta thought of this historical saga.
The Chola kingdom is under threat from forces both internal and external, and the crown Prince Aaditha Karikalan (Vikram) entrusts his friend Vandhiyathevan(Karthi) to deliver a message to his father and emperor Sundara Cholar(Prakash Raj) and sister, Princess Kunthavai(Trisha) on these threats that the kingdom is facing. But there are many who want to see the entire dynasty fall apart. The schemers include Periya Pazhuvettarayar (Sarath Kumar) and Chinna Pazhuvettarayar (Radhakrishnan Parthiban), the empire's finance minister and commander, the numerous kings who have sworn fealty to the emperor, the remaining forces of the vanquished Pandya king and most importantly, Nandhini(Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), Karikalan's former lover and Periya Pazhuvettarayar's wife, who is determined to bring the entire Chola empire down for reasons of her own.
Karikalan's younger brother, Arunmozhi Varman(Jayam Ravi), the titular Ponniyin Selvan, is trying to capture the king of the land. Ponniyin Selvan- 1 has larger-than-life scenes that remind you of films like Baahubali. The movie is based on the book by the same name and directed by Mani Ratnam with A.R. Rahman added to the film's phenomenal background score.
Too predictable !!!!! Nothing new to offer ... Could see what's gonna happen next right from the title card till end ... The story wasn't even complete left at a cliffhanger... Seriously wtf !!!!

The beauty of Ponniyin Selvan is it says story in every frame, every shot, every scene. It's not a commercial potboiler with 3-4 heroic sequences, and rest is just grandeur and fillers..
Compare PS with The ten commandments, Ben hur or The last of Mohicans or Braveheart. pic.twitter.com/swY3OkVyqo
accordingly. It is by all means a good movie, but it fell a bit short on the excitement required of a theatrical experience, especially when it comes to introducing the main characters. However, even with minor aberrations from the book, MR has managed to capture the essence +
(1/2) PS-1 Review: * 3 parts for this movie would have been ideal. * Casting was good but characters couldn't be defined. All actors look aged. * Annoying camera shake for the intensity. * Songs are unique but not so pleasant to hear or watch. * Novel readers will be disappointed
Underwhelming narrative.. Just OK. Nothing great and stupendous as expected. Falls flat as Maniratnam relies more on conversation between characters rather than making it a visual wonder.
It is indeed to easy to play a pure negative character who is negative through out the film. But here in #PS1#AishwaryaRaiBachchan doesnt stick to a particular emotion, she hides all her pain and anger behind a smile and manipulate others. What an actress 🔥. #PonniyinSelvanpic.twitter.com/aT2GB1YDFO
