Yesterday I watched the Tamil movie 'Ponniyin Selvan 2'. The movie was released in Hindi and Tamil both in the cinema hall of Ranchi. I watched the Tamil version.
I was eagerly following the movie 'Ponniyin Selvan 1' and ' Ponniyin Selvan 2'. I read the book by Kalki Krishnamurthy too. I followed audio books also. I was always attracted by great kings and rulers. While I was in Delhi I had admiration for Mewar rulers and Delhi sultans. And Raja raja chola. And Akbar. This admiration is deep inside me and I would wonder why they were great. The greatness of Raja raja chola was he sacrificed his becoming crown prince for his paternal uncle Madhuranthakan who was eligible to be the prince after Sundara Chola because of lineage.
The movie was great. I liked it. In Ponniyin Selvan 2 they show great visuals and great fight sequences. The music was great. And one piece in background with a lot of rhythms was just outstanding. I am unable to recollect the situation when the music is played but I remember it being fantastic. Some group of men shot. In 'Ponniyin Selvan 2', they have shown deep love of three pairs. Vanthiyedevan and Kundavai; Karikalan and Nandini and Ponniyin Selvan and Vanathi. And they also showed two crucial points realistic and historically correct. The death of Karikalan and the crowning of the prince. I don't want to reveal more.
It's a definite watch for Tamil fans of history lovers. And if you're interested in spending a few hours in your weekend you may consider going to the cinema halls to watch the movie.
My good wishes. Have a nice weekend !!
