'Ponniyin Selvan' box office: Mani Ratnam's film earns Rs 300 crore worldwide

<p>When Kalki Krishnamurthy wrote <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/all-about-ponniyin-selvan-the-book-series-on-which-mani-ratnams-film-is-based-520878">'Ponniyin Selvan'&nbsp;</a>back in 1950, it is said that he always expected it to become a movie. Attempts were made by the legendary Tamil actor MGR in 1958 and Kamal Haasan in the 1980s to bring the story to the big screen but it was not achieved for a variety of reasons. However, after decades of waiting, legendary director <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/mani-ratnam-to-wion-ponniyin-selvan-1-was-difficult-to-adapt-holds-relevance-in-todays-time-519897">Mani Ratnam</a></strong> has finally realised the dream and the final product is something that stands apart in the era of “super-sized blockbusters”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A comet appears on the sky and it is hungry for royal blood. Reigning emperor Sundara Chola (Prakash Raj) may not live long and battle of succession seems inevitable. While the elder son Aditha Karikalan (Vikram) is the next in line, his younger brother Arunmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi) is beloved among the people. Add to that a couple of contenders in Madurantakan (actor Rahman) as well as Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar (R Sarathkumar) and we have our very own 'Game of Thrones'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the men wage wars in the film, it is the women who are the strategists and politicians. Nandini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), the wife of Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar who has secrets from her past, and Princess Kundavai (Trisha) find themselves in a battle of wits which proves crucial for the future of the Chola empire. Aishwarya plays the complicated antagonist to perfection, and she will&nbsp;surely play a huge part in the sequel, but&nbsp;it is Trisha who shines thanks to the wit and confidence she brings to Kundavai.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The rest of the supporting cast also impresses with Jayram playing Vaishnavite priest Azhwarkadiyan Nambi (Jayram) and R Sarathkumar playing Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar deserving the most appreciation.

<p>While the story does cover most bases, there are some arcs that leave a bit more to be desired.

The VFX also adds more opulence to the film but the climax sequence fails to reach great heights.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At 167 minutes, the film takes its time to establish all the characters and their motivations in a way that makes the audience curious about the sequel. The elaborate sets and picturesque locations provide the perfect backdrop for the clash of kings, but it is ultimately human emotions that are laid bare on the screen. Right now, the job is only half done with 'Ponniyin Selvan II' releasing in 2023 but it can safely be said that Mani Ratnam’s latest does justice to Kalki Krishnamurthy’s epic. &nbsp;</p>
