Ponniyin Selvan 2 Review: In PS1 (Ponniyin Selvan Part 1), Mani Ratnam concludes with the conflicts between the Chola Empire and the Pandya Empire, introducing the characters and introducing the main plot. This has increased everyone’s curiosity about PS2. What is Ponniin Selvan going to do? What is the secret of Nandini’s character has raised interest among all. Mani Ratnam gave clarity to all of them in PS2 and moved the story forward. Aishwarya Rai wants to kill Vikram, Jayam Ravi and Trisha with her followers, Karthi and Jayaram are trying to save them from that, at the same time going to Vikram’s fort to meet Aishwarya Rai.. Aishwarya Rai’s followers are there. On the other hand, the Pandyas entered the Chola Empire and wanted to kill the characters of Prakash Raj and Jayam Ravi. Mani Ratnam moved the story interestingly with the scenes. PS2 has clearly shown the real truths hidden behind deception, love, fights and murder plans.
As far as the actors are concerned, the dialogue between Vikram as Aditya Karikalu and Aishwarya Rai as Nandini in the pre-climax and the way the scene is shot are good. Long live the same movie. The doubts people had till then get clarity from that scene. Why did Nandini behave like that.. What was the reason for her birth? The subjects were shown well. How Ponniyin Selvan finally solved the problem. The director concludes the story of how the Chola Empire expanded.
Vikram as Aditya Karikala and Jayam Ravi as Ponniin Selvan. And while Karthi acted seriously in his role, he laughed with his own comedy timing. While Trisha was limited to a few scenes..Aishwarya Rai Part 2 impressed in terms of acting. Sarath Kumar, Parthipan, Jayaram, Kishore, Nazar, Sobhita Dhulipala, Aishwarya Lakshmi have all done justice to their roles. Technically the film is impressive. Visual effects, sets, Rahman’s music, background music are good. The way the war scenes were shot in the movie was not that great.
Finally..Ponniyin Selvan 2..a visual wonder unveiled by Mani Ratnam.
