After a long time director, Mani Ratnam is a very happy man. His latest historic movie Ponniyin Selvan is a hit. He has done his best to showcase the life and times of Chola Kings.
Ratnam has completed two parts of the movie in just five months and it is a record or sorts. People like Rajamouli take five years for a movie to get the right quality.
The visuals are good but the music is Ok and not up to the mark of Rahman. The background music is very good.
The majestic sets, the costumes and each intricate detail seen in the movie and looks are dedicated to perfecting the period drama from the Chola Era.
The film that stars Chiyaan Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha Krishnan, Karthi, and more has had a huge buzz. The period drama boasts of giving the audience a visually spectacular experience and the advance booking looked very encouraging, promising a blockbuster box office collection.
Basically, Ponniyin Selvan is a five-part historical fiction series based on the life of Arulmozhi Varman, who later became the great Chola emperor Rajaraja Chola I.
Throughout the 2,220-odd pages, Kalki has woven a tale of the power struggle among the three popular Southern kingdoms—Cholar, Cheran, and Pandiyans—peppered with his own wit, story, and narrative.
