Ponniyin Selvan 2 Movie Review by Anupama Chopra | Film Companion

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Ponniyin Selvan 2 starring Vikram, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Sobhita Dhulipala is a towering tale of ambition, tragedy, love, and greed. At stake is the crown of the Chola empire in 10th-century India. And where there is a throne, there must be blood. This film is a portrait of power, which we know is a Faustian bargain. It demands sacrifice - of lives, morals, and relationships.

I think Mani Ratnam has only truly seen Aishwarya as an actress.. He gives her characters with so much scope everytime from Iruvar to Guru and now Nandhini... ❤ Vikram and Aishwarya were the soul of PS-2 💔
True
U forget about Sanjay leela bhansali.... Nobody can forget the Nandhini and paro of SLB
@@muhammedalishajahan9188 I know SLB did.. but I'm thinking more in terms of acting range character complexity..
@@muhammedalishajahan9188 sophia as well
You forgot Ravanan also a great masterpiece by the pair as well and under dog which did not get its due
I just love vikram and aishwariya can pull this kind of crackling chemistry in this age while the new age actor cant do
Completely agree with you 👍
To fast to judge. There are actors and actress far more capable than them. Remember there are always someone else better out there.
You are absolutely right !
They are more experienced than new age actors. But I am surprised with Aishwarya as she hasn't been acting in films for years but still can do better than most of the actresses in Indian cinema.
@@elamcyril Well, I guess you haven't seen Ae dil hai mushkil...
Aishwarya Rai is one of the best actors of our Generation. The Hindi audience has always been weirdly cruel to her, from making fun of her lack of acting skills to making fun of her for gaining weight during her pregnancy and so much more.
It's time the audience gave her a break and stopped putting her under the microscope. The woman is in her 50s and she needs to be treated kindly.
Very well put 👏🏾 Fed up of bollywood fans constantly putting her down for her appearance and acting. Out generation was blessed to witness her beauty and graciousness. Every role she played was absolutely stunning.
I myself don't like Bollywood much but like she herself was a below average actress there.... She did good as nandini but Anyone could have played the character of nandini frankly as the character herself has an air of mystery n charam to it....
So well said brother. Her grace can beat all the younger heroines
@@shravyaamin8346 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Wow, that Crow you had to eat was tough to digest i guess..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's okay!! Keep hating on a Global superstar and living legend both locally and internationally acclaimed by CREDIBLE critics in addition to commercial cinema goers..😏
@@shravyaamin8346 anyone could have played? You ask useless Kareena or Katrina to do it.
A huge applause to Jayam Ravi playing a title role and supporting role at the same time.
😂😂
💯
😂😂😂
😂
Well that's Arunmozhi for u... 😂
Aishwariya nailed it
You can see in her eyes, the sadness and the vengeance
But, movie was lost in last 40 minutes
Rushed coz this story is not just for 2 parts
Good attempt.
Vikram, Aish 👏👏👏
My favorite scene was that of Ash’s mom and Prakash Raj (the King), the background score when she passed away in his arms, his grief was just intense. And the scene when Nandhini and Aditya Karikalan meet towards the end before he passes on. Brilliant cinema. And I agree, watching it in Tamil with subtitles is recommended over the dubbed versions.. I always watch content in the language they were shot in, those nuances make a huge difference when in the original language. Very memorable movie , loved it compared to the first part.
Hi, that background score of Mandakini passing in Sundar Chozha's arms is called Ilaiyor Soodar. I think it's based on a Tamil poem called Mullayum poothiyohi
Probably the greatest period epic ever made in Indian Cinema. The detailing is extraordinary. What an Art.
Grow up kiddo...many better movies in Kannada in 50,60,70s are better than this
Such a ignorant 🤦🏾
@@creative_minds1770 what a joke, u need to grow up😂
Lol 😂😂 great joke..
Not probably... Abso*fuckin*lutely
Aishwarya nailed it deserving National Award
I just love ashwariya rai performance 😍
She nailed it 👏
It was superb and brilliant in terms of performance. My concern is Jayam Ravi's performance getting missed out in the chaos. He plays the role of Arulmozhi Varman who is the actual Raja Raja Chozhan the great, a man of intelligence, mysticism and quiet valour. It is so unusual for the macho men in movies and Jayam Ravi captured the subtlety of this character in its entirety. My best wishes to him.
Well said..Agree
They should do part 3 about Rajaraja and his naval empires to the east south East Asia his building of thanjai brihadeeswara temple and dams around the area
People are just missing the point... Vikram has a character that is at war with himself (so any good actor can eat that up.. So easy for a heavy weight like Vikram) and then Nandini is like dream for any actress so Aish eats it up.. But what Jayam Ravi does is fucking amazing... He has so little to work with but gives everything absolutely everything to make him the best King in Indian Cinema everr.. He is just sooooo gooood
Vikram and Aish lived in theirs Characters ❤.I love both Actings. Both are awesome 💖. They both 💘 runned the whole Movie PS2. I watched it in London Tamil Version, in the 2nd day. Vikram and Aish pair Super 🌹
I watched it...omg aishwarya rai...she was outstanding ❤❤❤
Aish and chiyan are best ..they must do one more movie together
The thing is Aishwarya herself doesn’t give enough credits to her acting. She is immaculate. She was very good in Ravan too with Vikram
This is the movie where celebrities become pure characters to serve the story. A feat only one of a kind Maniratnam sir can pull off.
Aishwarya rai gives a stellar performance 🎉🎉🎉 and your review anupama ma'am is amazing. You said PS 2 6 TIMES
PS 2 was mentioned 5 times.
I am a proud Thanjavur woman. My roots belong to this place. I was so much drawn to this place that we ended up constructing our dream home here. Now its become our favourite and frequent holiday destination.
And most importantly, i have named my daughter "Nandini" taking inspiration from the Nandi Bull present in the UNESCO recognized world renowned Brihadeeshwar Temple. Its a moment of great pride for me to watch a movie based on our heritage and culture!
I am tanjavur too, nanilam……educated in 5:36 , working in US. Goosebumps, we Indians can be thankful that the cholas kept the Indian Ocean as our backyard, andaman too.
Brahadeeswarar was the name given later by the invaders original name is perudayar or raja rajecharam
As Thanjavurian, I invite both you refugees back to Thanjavur... Not just Brim with pride living as an outcast lost in movies and hallucination....❤❤
@@vijayaprabu6669 Thanks, we all have to grow wings and fly out to reach our dreams. To be honest living in Bangalore and than in North, was so at home that I call Bangalore home now.......
I loved the movie! It was undoubtedly Vikram and Ash’s moment in the spotlight - they stole the show. I actually think they did a better job in this film of letting the storyline flow in a proper sequence. I found the first one a bit hard to follow as I wasn’t familiar with the books. I’d watch it again to find all the little details I missed the first time around
Also, I believe you said “PS -2” 6 times, but 7 including at the very end when you announced the giveaway
A brilliant masterpiece on visual storytelling. Mani Ratnam raises everyone’s performance and the cinematography is absolutely stunning.
Good point about watching it in Tamil. The IMAX version in Tamil is how this masterpiece should be enjoyed.
Rightly said
Aishwarya Rai is the ultimate queen ❤️🥰❤️
Vikram ishwarya perfect actions and emotions,,, they have lived into character
6 times. Watched it in Tamil with English subtitles in Berlin. Absolutely loved it
God how much did you spend? It’s $20 in Singapore, $27 for IMAX
While English movies are just $12, and if with discounts, just $4.50. No discounts for Indian language movies.
Sambar sambar 😂.. good joke
21 euros for IMAX
Good Joke this Guy 😂
You said PS-2 six times including the outro. I Just returned from seeing the movie at the theater here in Pennsylvania. It was both heart wrenching and so enthralling that the hours passed without notice. I didn't know I was interested in large historical epics until I saw Baahubali, which now seems a bit cartoonish in comparison. With a score by A.R. Rahman, Ponniyin Selvin 2 is a movie people will be coming back to watch for decades!!
I watched PS 1 & 2. Aishwarya Rai is the main character of PS. She put her heart and souls in to this. What an underrated actress she is. Frankly speaking actresses like Aishwarya Rai is way better than Kajol that’s because Rai is way more versatile. Kajol won’t suit in periodic movies or in modern look as she isn’t pretty.
I loved the flim♥️🔥 ash was so so so very awesome in every scene 😍😍😍🤌🏻
This process for Aishwarya started with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam in 99 ,got refined in Choker Bali 2003 and Raincoat 2004 (what a film that was)...and now in PS2 it is in its finest form❤
Thank you for giving an honest review. Only Mami ratnam knows how to bring the acting in people. The women of ps2 are not just pretty but did so well in their acting.
congrats Aishwarya! Great performance
AishwaryaRai's performance OMG 🔥 she's GOAT
Thank u for a great honest review! I agree that some of the characters and scenes were a bit lost with too much to cover, and of course that Vikram was the standout, along with Aishwarya Rai. But ultimately, it was a wonderful effort from Mani Ratnam and the whole crew!
***Ponniyin Selvan: Part 2 Tamil Movie Review***
No need of further introduction as in 2021, Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 created wonders at the box office. At the end of the 1st part, the film threw many questions to the audience. The people who read writer Kalki’s book was awaiting how Mani Ratnam had brought the same into the big screen & those who have not read was curious as they were waiting for the questions that came to their mind.
As actor Jayam Ravi who plays the titular role, said in PS 2 promotion that PS 1 was just a trailer, PS 2 is the movie, post watching the movie, I agree to his point.
PS 1 travels around the character building of each character. It was like the construction of the basement so that when we watch PS 2 it would have a concrete impact in the minds of the audience.
As a whole PS: 1 and 2 talks about the hatred, lost love, greed, vengeance, the dark political game which we quite frequently observe in our present lives.
Screenplay of Mani Ratnam, Jeyamohan, Elango Kumaravel had given 100% justice to Kalki Krishnamurthy original script.
When take up the performances, the lead characters had given the top-notch performance. If in Part 1 if we could see the superlative performance of Trisha, in PS 2 it was Aishwarya who stolen the show. Her dual role as Nandini and Mandakini was outstanding. The vengeance, the anger of her lost love, the sorrow of Nandini on one hand whereas immense homage towards the Chola kingdom by Mandakini on the other, Aishwarya able to revamp herself into these characters well.
Chiyaan Vikram’s performance was another noteworthy as in this part his screen presence was more so we could see his magic more.
The scene where Vikram and Aishwarya meet and just express out themselves, that 10 minutes of that scene, Mani Ratnam sir direction, Ravi Varman Cinematography backed by Vikram - Aishwarya stellar performance, audience will feel that the lost love should be reunited. Epic scene in PS: part 2
ARR musical score escalates the intensity of the situation.
The climax shot wherein Jayam Ravi kneels down post the war victory, the BGM thereon gave a goosebumps moment.
Overall PS: Part 2 was a film which feels to be re watchable as it’s a movie which is made once in a lifetime.
This movie is like stunning visual writing on the screen , magnificent cinematography and heart touching death of Adita Karikalan realism of vacuum of heart beyond power and everything
Even film over Aishwarya and Vikram face off haunting in mind
For your information there was no hype for the sequel and most of us didn't even know that it got released, but the movie is magnificent and i hope it does well through good word of mouth
Chiyaanvikram & Aishwarya Rai ❤
Vikram and Aish pair Super ❤. Their chemistry is 🔥. We fans wants more Romantic Love Movies from both together 💙💖🩵💜💚💘
My congratulations to Mani Ratnam for finally pulling off this beast of a script. It is no small feet to condense it to a two part film, but Mani has done it so well. He was true to the craft and there was no fantasy element to it. This movie will be cherished by Tamil film lovers for ages to come ❤
Such a great movie.. Vikram & Aishwarya Rai ❤️❤️ lovely review .. PS2 was said 6 times during your review
Great review, Vikram and Aishwarya Rai stole the show near climax.. heart hitting scene ❤
You have mentioned “PS2” 6 times before announcing the giveaway.
Including the announcement, you have mentioned “PS2” 7 times in total..
I liked the ending of all the gray characters. Those characters given redemption at the end.
All the conspirators realises their wrong doings and eventually get their true positions.
Nandini's husband got his position, Madhurantakan got the throne.
This is actually a deviation from the book.
Anupama what a great review and this made me hyped up for it.
Also you mentioned PS2 6 times.
Anupama is succinct and to the point as usual. Glad to know Vikram- Aishwarya romance gets more screentime in PS2. To be fair it was Vikram's mad yearning for Nandini in the PS-1 trailer which got me hooked. And thanks to other levelheaded characters, the melodrama does not take over the film.
Such an enduring review! You happened to mention PS-2, the short abbreviated form, 7 times throughout the course of the review, while the full form was recalled twice.
You shouldn't have given away the aishwarya rai's mother plotpoint. That was an intresting mystry for the people who watched part 1
True indeed spoiled as it wasnt realeased in Nepal
It's not a important one everyone knows
No one cares lol.
@@mosemanavan lol.. Most people care.. So do you.. Thats why you are here..
Very true. It is so so wrong to just spoil the entire movie watching experience. The film team should rather sue such unethical critics who come out with spoilers on the very day of a movie's release. That too with the related movie still. That was very wrong, madam. I am now regretting watching your review. 😟
Aishwarya ❤❤❤
Wow - a fab review! Not only because it’s detailed, but also because most of what you have succinctly expressed happens to correlate to my opinion too! I’m just not as floored by Ash as you’re, and also felt both Rehman & Prabhu deserved a nod for their acting
You've said PS - 2 : 7 times, maybe as a shoutout to the 7 main leads
1 for Vikram
1 for Karthi
1 for Jayam Ravi
1 for Aishwarya Rai
1 for Trisha
1 for Shobita
1 for Aishwarya Lekshmi
Actually ponniyin selvan nandhini and vanthiya thevan has more screen presence and performed great especially aish as nandhini is awesome .. But Vikram steals the show and rocks what an actor.. The scene which sitting top of the horse OMG just see his expressions, dubbing skills and vocal tone..the scenes between adiya, nandhini and VT and kundavai are awesome.. jeyam ravi did great.. jayaram dedication is great.. Sarath kumar , parthiban, Vikram prabhu and prabhu everyone did justice to their small roles.. big thanks to mani ratnam sir.. I haven't read book .. I love this version of ponniyin selvan..
Film Companion: Please have the conviction to let Anupama speak without feeling the need to play that lift music in the background.
I don't need to point out that she is more than capable of holding an audience. Besides that, bautiful review, Anupama. Your love for cinema infuses every word you speak, every thought that powers them.
The novels were way better but I understand the difficulty of condensing such detail into two films. Few cinematic liberties were taken by Mani Ratnam sir but Kalki Saab deliberately left certain plot points ambiguous. Sequels are tough to pull off, but hats off to Mani Ratnam sir and the entire cast for such an epic.
No one asked to condense the movie into two parts. Should have been a 10 part series.
@@mosemanavan and who will fund that? Name one 10 part series which India has pulled off? Heck we only started to have have continued two part sequel this with BB, KGF and PS. India unlike the USA doesnt have a strong streaming market.
Thanks Anupama madam for reviewing the film positively.
Excellent movie with brilliant performances, we get immersed in the world of Cholas. A must watch experience on the big screen.
I fully fell in love with the movie. I am a Malayali and i haven't heard or read the book. I understood the movie very well ( watched tamil with English subtitles).😊
PS2 was said 6 times. :)
A shot in the dark this, but I just happened to read your Meri Pyari Bindu review earlier today and felt once again that the way we think about movies is so similar. Would be so nice to maybe someday catch up on your take on out and out romantic movies made by the Indian film industry (maybe when my screenplay becomes a movie? :) )
Hi Anupama, enjoyed your review of PS2.
You said PS2 6 times.
I like your posts - reviews and interviews. Kudos to you and your team.
Hello ma'am, I am a great fan of Ponniyin Selvan 1… and waiting to watch the part 2.
Here you have mentioned PS2, 7 times from starting to ending of your review.
I really wanted the movie to work for me. I really wanted it to be the magic spell it supposedly was. But here are a few points which made me feel it could have been tweaked just a little more:
1. It is a 70 year old novel- and the grammar of a book is different to the grammar of screen. Certain things worked better back then- like the humour between the picaresque hero and the goons chasing than today. You cannot tell me they are brutal warriors one moment and then use them for comedy the next- like in that cave scene or where the Pandyas meet Vanthiyadeva in boats.
2. The scenes were abrupt. And not clear to many who did not read the books- the chronology of events leading to that massive scene in Kadambur palace were not at all consistent with what the characters and their mentality. It is not at all clear in the first place what happens there in the end. Even the battle or the last scene (which is supposed to be the last frame relating to the crown, the one to remember this movie by is not as iconic as it could have been.
Have always been a fan of Mani Ratnam's work. Kannathil Muthammittal to even Chekka Chivantha Vanam (love that)- but somehow this one feels like it could have been better.
Karikalan was a real person and a great warrior king, but Nandini was a fictional character created by the author Kalki for the sake of his novel....Kalki wouldn't have clearly written how Karikalan was killed, but in the movie its shown as Karikalan deceived by his love interest Nandini and get killed, which is completely nonsense....Personally didn't like how Mani handled the final portion of the story and ARR non nativity music is completely a let down.....Actual Tamil Cholas were superior and greater than Mani's version
PS2 is mentioned 7 times whilst Poniyan Selvan 2 is mentioned 3 times, making the cumulative number of mentions to 10. Looking forward to the giveaway!
She should have played Rani Padmavati to justify the magnetic personality and beauty.
Err I don’t think mentioning Mandakini without spoiler alert ideas a good idea
6 times. It certainly is a tough job to squeeze a 5 book story in a two part movie, and I am sure you will only get your question answered if you read the book. Nevertheless, Kudos to Mani sir for his endeavours!
1:06 1:39 2:09 3:49 4:14 4:41 of count 6 times...and one thing is I'm listening to you since your visit to baahubali sets ... your ❤ towards cinema is as close as mine
I would say this movie had enough content for 2 more movies but when compressed into one... it ignored too much to come to a hurried end. As someone who read the books and watching the film.... I felt that the acting was spectacular and mani ratnam gave his unique touch to staging the scenes too but in the end when the plot was made more linear to become a movie adaptation it falls just short of perfection in my mind. Many plot points were ignored taking away the charm of some of these characters and the complexity woven into the character dynamics.
Anupama, you gave away A SPOILER at 4:17. You should have been careful. That mystery is gone now for people who watched this review before watching the film. At least, you should have given SPOLER ALERT in the beginning.
Yes
This movie is the greatest masterpiece ever made , very rare and different perspective of magnum opus , very stunning visual and dramatic sequence …i was totally amazed when aish and vikram confronted each other such a epic scene, undoubtedly aish is the best actress ever to play nandini , she nailed the role ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Worth the hype?
First of all is there any hype 😂
Magnificent movie! Cholas stole my heart with their valor and righteousness! No wonder they ruled most of the current India and conquered many south Asian countries! Tamils legacy is awe inspiring!
I just stepped out of the theatre. The film was outstanding. Well directed, well acted.
ash is ash..
Rajamouli learned “Poetry of visuals” from Maniratnam….but Maniratnam must learn “thump in the chest action sequence and emotions” from Rajamouli…..although Rajamouli calls mani his Guru
This comment section makes me soo happy. Soo glad to see people all over India loving and understanding this Tamil movie about the Cholas🥹❤️🔥
Does this now qualify Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan to have her own version of Masterclass please? It's so long overdue Anu ma'am.
I doubt she would agree to it. Her limited public exposure makes her more special...
@@deea1173 for a masterclass - surely she would OK it!
@@divyap7837 Does if deserve it? Hell Yeah.
Would she? Highly unlikely.
Should she? No, I would much rather she do another interview with Simi Garewal.
Honestly? I would much rather just watch another new movie of hers.
Why did you reveal the mystery women is her mother mandhakini 😠 Did you really had to do that? Its sad to see respected critics like you do this when you could have easily avoided that.
Please dont add kitchen channel background music. Thank you
Beutiful movie..
Perfect review..
It's Aditha karikalan and not Aditya. I beg North Indians to please have the bare minimum respect to Tamil roots and history to correct themselves. We don't need misinformation of some of our most bravest warriors in history.
Aishwarya rai Bachchan awesome ❤
I am not able to understand how is reading english subtitles more original than listening to hindi voice. Plus, there is a sea of difference between a remake and a dubbed. You are making out as if a dubbed is akin to a remake, which thankfully it is not. Am I missing something here?
the coronation ceremony is completely changed .
it's one of the biggest twist in the novel.
Many saying mani went with history rather than fiction but he didn't go deep into the novel due to time limit it seems.
mandagini wasted. she is such a pure soul with a lot of pain like her daughter.
Novel has a LOT!
Ask Mani for a web series with multiple seasons, possibly with same cast.
You are forgetting it a movie and there is only so much yu can do! If you want all of the novel to be replicated, you can only make a tv serial... not a movie
@@Shan-do3vs I mentioned in the comment that.
You maybe right. Many characters from the novel isn't given much importance because it's difficult to do so in a movie. It's extremely difficult to do PS as a web series with the present cast and crew and the budget will sky rocket. Bringing this novel to life in itself is the biggest challenge and I'm positive no other director other than maniratnam can pull it off this much within such a short period and given budget.
@@vidyabalakrishnan8194 it's always mani to direct ponniyinselvan even if it's made as webseries. it's never gonna happen 😔 BUDGET- CAST - TIME - LOCATION CHANGE- SET .not gonna happen.
first part was so well made.
I am still unsure how i feel about the movie. Having read the books a part of me still cannot come to terms with the changes which were made, maybe i will have to give it a re watch in order to settle my gripes with the alterations.
The movie chose to stick with the fact if you’re wondering about Sendhan Amudhan
@@mahenxxx no not about that...i couldn't care less about who becomes the king. My main gripe is with the way they handled Chinna Pazhuvettaraiyars character, he was my favourite in the novel and his act of taking his own life was a peak moment.
Also the whole bit about Nandhini being told about her relationship with Veerapandiyan after the death of Karikalan.
@@teemocomehome yes! True that! But the writers chose one over the other to spare more time on characters they need a character arc. Am happy to see people asking more for their fav characters
@@teemocomehome They did Chinna dirty and i will always hold a grudge against Mani for that.
Hi FC, Anupama Chopra mentioned PS-2 six(6) times in this review.
Thanks for Giving Reviews In English For Those Who Enjoy Bollywood & Indian Movies But Do Not Speak Tamil, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, etc...
I'm not familiar with history of this movie...
Only saw #2...
I really liked love story that was blossoming in beginning of movie with Nandini the supposedly orphan girl & Aditha Karikalan who Honestly, Sincerely & Completely Falls In Love With Her...
When Aditha put her on his horse & also brought her before queen I thought Nandini would be completely loyal, devoted, committed & wait for Aditha too Return...
The Rest of Movie I Endured Trying To Understand What Was Going On & Why Nandini Had Changed...
She Reveals Her True Intentions & Personality & Character In What She Finally Says To Aditha...
I Presume This Movie Wasn't Well Received Nor Accepted By Indians as All Theaters & Movie Show Times & Theaters Were Empty or few people 2 to 6 people in theaters where capacity ranged from 75 to possibly 500 & screens & sound were digital, dolby & iMAX...
Maybe attendance will pic up over weekend...
Didn't Enjoy Movie...
I Forced Myself To Watch It Hoping Nandini Would Return To The Pure & Innocent Teenager She Was In Beginning of Movie...
The Grandeur of Castles, Inside & Out, Costumes Was Good...
What Did Like About Movie Are Characters Who Not Only Pledged Their Loyalty...
But Maintained Their Loyalty Even In Face of Death...
You said PS2 7times total in the video ❤ and 6times in the review
For the hundredth time, it’s not Adithya, it’s Aditha. Let’s not misappropriate language or culture.
Hello Anupama, total of 9 time, a few of them were "poniyan selvan 2"
PS2 story destroyed at the cost of pleasing non Tamil speakers ! Complete injustice to Kalki Krishnamoorthy’s novel.
Just wanted to point out in case you didnt know... it is 'Aditha Karikalan' and not 'Aditya Karikalan'.... This is more of a tamilian name while 'Aditya' has sanskrit roots...
Really love listening to ur film reviews. Almost like being in the theater watching the movie
Folks don't compare ps1&ps2 to any other movies because it's an Epic
Great review.. Mentioned PS2 7 times including the time you mentioned it in the give away :)
They have cut many scenes of Oomai Rani, the elephant riding scene and some scenes with poongulali.
Bad editing done again like Ravanan movie
I watched PS2 with family yesterday. I had watched PS1 on Amazon Prime earlier. The kids were excited and I just accompanied them. They liked PS1. The damage to my pocket was seven movie tickets, 3 big buckets of popcorn, 3 big diet soda cups and 2 bottles of water, all of which I paid for at the movie theater. The movie bears no semblance to reality. Chola history and grandeur was heavily hyped up. I laughed seeing the moresadam(yogurt with rice in Tamil) eaters wage heavy battle. The intrigue is believable(all the cholas needed for that was a full meal- dosa,idli, and vadai with coconut chutney for breakfast, and rice with sambar and maybe beans or potato sabji, then rice with rasam and rice with yogurt and lemon pickle for lunch and dinner). Aishwarya Rai is way past her best. VIkram and Karthi were ok. Trisha did not have much of a role in PS2. Why Indian audiences are not tired of 1990s bollywood heros and women-now in their 50s and 60s with kids and grandkids, is a big mystery. The special effects were ok but Maniratnam and A R Rehman don't produce the sparks any more. The movie was long and there was no rest room break so we had to miss scenes. It was just another movie in the end.
I think in the early 1970s there was a movie called 'raja raja cholan' with big ads taken out in 'the hindu' to promote the movie. I might try to watch it,if i can find it.
Truth is " there is no hype for this movie"
6 Times because, I wrote the vocabularies from transcript.
Really smart way to increase the no of views😊…guaranteed multiple viewings for the give away,myself included 😂…PS 2 was mentioned 7 times and Ponniyan Selvan 2 was mentioned 3 times and title of the movie was mentioned a cumulative 10 times😅…as ever a very insightful and balanced review by you ma’am❤
Why are you explaining the story? It would be better to review the work of different departments who worked for the movie..
Haha Anupama has conveniently ignored the Kerala Story movie...such bias 😆 and hypocrisy 🤣
Hi Anupama. You've mentioned "PS 2" 7 times in total in this video. You mentioned it 6 times in your review and 1 time towards the end when talking about the giveaway.
