Ponniyin Selvan Trailer (PS-1) Review

The trailer and audio launch of Mani Ratnam’s ambitious historical drama Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 was held in Chennai on Tuesday. The film has a star-studded cast that includes Vikram, Karthi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Prabhu, R Sarathkumar, Vikram Prabhu, Prakash Raj, Rahman, and R Parthiban. The teasers, posters, and songs released so far have generated much hype among the audience.


Ponniyin Selvan I tells the story of Arul Mozhivarman (Jayam Ravi) and his rise to the throne of the Chola kingdom against a coup. The story will be told from the point of view of Vallavaraiyan Vandiyadevan (Karthi), a messenger of Aditya Karikalan (Vikram), who travels through the southern kingdoms to pass on the news between the Cholas. Also, the trailer indicated a romance thread between Aditya and Queen Nandini (Aishwarya). 

Voice over for the trailer has been given by none other than the Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan. 

The trailer seems to be decent with AR Rahman and Ravi Verma walking away with their top-notch work. While the actors Jayam Ravi, and Trisha looked a bit odd but we can expect a better impact from them in the movie. Vikram and Karthi looked great. Aishwarya Rai looks enticing. VFX work done by red chilies is apt and gelled well with the flavor of the movie.

Tamil industry circles and the audience have huge expectations of this Magnum Opus Ponniyin Selvan and the buzz around the movie also has been generated quite well. We wish that the legendary director Mani Ratnam meets the expectations of the audience and the movie becomes a grand success.
