Ponniyin Selvan 2 review: Mani Ratnam delivers a mesmerising sequel

Based on author Kalki Krishnamurthy’s popular 1955 Tamil novels of the same name, Ponniyin Selvan 2 stars Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Sobhita Dhulipala and Prakash Raj, among others.

Touted as one of the most expensive Tamil movies ever made with a reported budget of ₹500 crore, the lavishly mounted film chronicles the story of the early days of Arunmozhivarman (Jayam Ravi), one of the most powerful kings in the south who went on to become the great Chola emperor Rajaraja Chola I.

The first part, co-produced by Madras Talkies and A Subaskaran’s Lyca Productions, came out in September 2022.
