Director Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan 1 hit the screens from today. Let’s check out the review:
Plot: The film is based on Tamil writer Kalki Krishnamurthy’s novel with the same title, Ponniyin Selvan who glorifies the greatness of Chola Kingdom. Aditha Karikalan (Vikram) has just won a battle against the Rashtrakutas up north and sends his friend Vanthiyathevan (Karthi) to deliver a message to his sister Princess Kundhavai (Trisha) and father Sundara Chozhan (Prakash Raj). Who tries to conquer the kingdom? What Aditya Karikaaludu (Vikram) will do to protect the kingdom? What’s the role of Trisha? The film follows the adventures of Vanthiyathevan, as he is assigned more duties by Kundhavai, and Arunmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi).
Performance: Director Mani Ratnam’s selection of the cast is perfect. Vikram gets a meatier role in the film. One should appreciate Vikram acting capabilities during Interval. Jayam Ravi is apt as Arunmozhi Varman, while Karthi is the one who carries the film throughout. Aishwarya Rai nailed it in Nandhini’s role. Trisha gives an incredible performance in Kundhavai, it is career-best performance by her. It is a delight to watch all the stars in a single frame
