Stills from Ponniyin Selvan 2 trailer
The enchanting world of Cholas is finally here. Mani Ratnam delivered one of the biggest hits last year, and this year he's back with the second part of Ponniyin Selvan. The film is an adaptation of author Kalki Krishnamurthy`s Tamil novel of the same name.
The film features some of the most prominent actors in Indian cinema, including Vikram, Karthi, Trisha, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Jayam Ravi, among others.
The film takes us back into the world of the Cholas, where many conspiracies, political intrigues, romantic relationships, and battles for the throne are taking place. The second part of the film starts where the first one ended, and the Chola dynasty is facing several challenges.
The film has been released in theatres, and reviews have started pouring in as eager cinemagoers watched "First Day, First Show."
So far, the audience has hailed the film as a masterpiece.

WION's review of Ponniyin Selvan 2 -
Since the film's helmer is Mani Ratnam, the plot is performance-driven. While the story only allows limited screen time for each of the actors, it is in their respective scenes that these stars shine. Aishwarya as both the angsty Nandini and the serene Mandakini is pitch-perfect. She balances emotions well, someone who has been wronged, someone who has been living with hate inside her for a great part of her life and when she finally gets to meet her former lover, she falters. Vikram too complements Rai equally well in the face-off scene making it one of the best moments of the film. It's tragic yet one is hooked on watching the two lovers finding peace as they court death. Trisha and Karthi have limited screen time in the second part but equally, justify their roles. Jayam Ravi shines as the calm, just Arunmozhe and emotes through his eyes. Read the full review here:
