You can see the ships in the movie. Actually, Cholas had the most powerful Navy during that era that's why their empire was spread up to the far East islands (Bali, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia......) and no one dared to attack India from the sea route.
Except one time a king from Srivijaya dynasty caused a interruption in the naval merchandise, as a punishment the Cholas kidnapped him and kept him prisoner and released him as a warning to not mess with the Chola Navy
It is a shame for bollywood not to produce movie series such as "GOT" because there are many dynasty like "Chola" , "Nanda dynasty" , "Maurya dynasty", "Kushan dynasty", "Pandya dynasty", "Chalukya dynasty", "Pala Empire", "Vijayanagar Empire" those dynasties are the reason to called india in ancient time "Golden Bird"🔥❤️ fill if I miss any dynasties........
This is not just another grand attempt. This is the greatest novel written in Tamil and the Tamil film faternity has been trying to get this film made for more than decades. Hence the character arcs will be better than any other magnum opus film
No not for a decade, Initially MGR bought the rights but could not get it made, than Kamal and Rajni wanted to, but fought over who is going to do the role. So yeah finally, the great Cholas. But sundara chola , nasser. he was called sundara chola for his looks :)
If there’s one thing (amongst many others) to know about Cholas, it’s that they were the sea conquerors. Their navy controlled entire Indian Ocean and entire south east Asia. Their control and impact extended from Tamil Nadu to West Bengal to Thailand to Indonesia (they even kidnapped the Sri Vijaya king of Indonesia) to Japan to Cambodia. Also- one of the longest ruling dynasties on the planet. They ruled for more than 1500 years. And it was the golden age. Art and culture flourished. I hope people go to watch this film not for the sake of criticising the VFX or whatever (like many people who, even if the film is fantastic HAVE to comment about laws of physics etc), but they go to see the film for the STORY- ponniyin selvan.
Actually the Cholas ruled from 300 bce to around 100 ce. Then again from around 870 ce to 1300 CE. The medieval Cholas under Rajaraja and Rajendra Cholan was the glorious period of Tamil history. Their achievements are too long to be listed here. Very able and people friendly administration also.
the series is originally 5 books long while the movies will only be 2 parts - bringing the 5 novels together (I'm personally apprehensive about it, having read the books but I'm holding my judgment til I see the film). As for whether part 2 will get greenlit or not, they actually filmed both parts 1 & 2 consecutively - meaning it's all been shot already and currently undergoing post-production in order to be released next year (similar to how Baahubali 1 and 2 were shot back to back).
@@saurabh9446 personally, i think that ponniyin selvan is a story that deserves to be told through a series - so that all the individual plots and characters can shine. HOWEVER, that would be virtually impossible right now because it would require such a high budget. While realistically if it were to be made into a series, it would probably be made using a low budget production - which would be worse than getting a high-budget two part film series in my opinion. You never know though, maybe someday in the future it'll get re-adapted for a series with a large production budget.
@Saurav Bhandari actually ponniyin selvan books gives more importance to the drama, politics and relationships between the characters than war so budget and vfx is not a real issue.. its more a story and character driven
Characters are Real but Story is Fictional with strong inspiration and here they used more practical efforts and shooted in real places with less Green mat & CGI And Story is Extraordinary one those who read books know 😍🔥🔥

Thousands of years ago we have big ships using for transport as well as neval dutys. You can see it carved in our temples. Chola dynasty Navy wasvery powerful those times. Also if you see in history you can find we have powerful Navy in ancient dynasty like Chola , Kalinga as well as Maratha empires. So it's time to show our glorious past to the world..
Achara is spot on.. It is epic story telling with intense character drama, with deceit, wars, romance and everything.. just that Kalki wrote the story in the 50s compared to RR Martin wrote Song of Ice and Fire volume in early 90s..
@@saqib-ul-islam6136 having hlaf knowledge is a lot more dangerous than having none , every story is inspired from another story . RR martin was a huge admirer of tolkiens work and derived most of his characters from medievel wars
Historical context: This story happens in the 10th century when the other 2 south Indian dynasties - the pandiyas and cheras - have been subjugated by the Cholas. karikala cholan (elder brother of raja raja chola - role played by Vikram) is on a mission to conquer central india, while raja raja cholan (played by jeyam ravi) has conquered most of sri lanka. The story revolves around vanthiya thevan (best friend of karikala cholan - played by Karthi). The story happens in south india and srilanka. It's an extremely interesting political drama that unfolds at this time. The peak of chola dynasty comes 75 years later, when they build the biggest navy of the world at contemporary times and sailed across the Indian Ocean to conquer south east Asian countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia. There are historical novels like kadal pura that revolve around this period. Hope PS becomes a hit, so the producers will be motivated to make more such historical movies.
Characterisation and story is everything here. PS has such strong characters, it connects to you on a personal level which doesn't happen in historical movies. We usually watch the movie's grandeur and feel goosebumps, thats it. In movies like these, trailers can't convey enough or do no justice. Wait for the movie. 🔥💜
Achara should have been a born Indian and to be specific a tamilian, because of her grasping power of the plot knots even she didn't know the novel's plots. Achara you got into the point 99% accurate and I am surprised that an outsider got this much with the trailer itself.
@@josejoseph8725 Yeah I know that Thailand has Indian cultural and religious links. I just wanted to clarify that she is not Indonesian. The Thai king calls himself RAMA ffs.

I’m gonna react to this soon. I’m from California and I’m a tamilian American. I’m very glad to hear the story that was written by Kalki and it talks about the cholas. The Chola Dynasty was a Tamil thalassocratic empire of southern India and one of the longest-ruling dynasties in world history.
Jayam ravi's character is a man pf ethos... Vikrams character is bold... Karthi's character is a romantic lovable guy..... I am 100% sure after watching the movie people would adore Jayam ravi's character. There is a reference of Sri lanka and Burma in the trailer. The scale is huge. I hope for the best..
Hey Jaby and Achara! The reason that this movie needs to have parts is because the entire epic is 5 books long. Mani Ratnam, however, has planned and apparently covered the entirety in just 2 parts. The detailing in the books is legendary. Fitting even one book into one film is a difficult task. That's the reason why it's taken more than five decades of attempts to finally get to this recreation on the big screen. It wouldn't be a surprise if 5 separate movies are made on each book in the future.
It is based on astotu which was serialised in a Tamil weekly. When I was in higher school we used to wait for the weekly magazine which came on Thursdays. Who got it first happened to read it first. And the illustrations were epic. I can still recollect them. Written by a great Tamil writer called kalki.
I happy to see the film it represents Tamil kings and their peoples culture,which often erased from the history of India.Cholas ruled during the golden era of Tamil civilization.They had huge Navy includes thousands of ship’s which is greatest navy power the Ancient Kingdoms ever seen and thousands of war elephants.They traded with many countries like today’s Singapore,Malaysia,Myanmar,Cambodia,Arab countries.
Ponniyin Selvan is like Game of Thrones of South India. (PS came decades before GOT) The politics and drama in the novel is much much much better than bahubali. Don't know how much they'll be able to get. Aishwarya's character is the main twist here 😃, those who've read the novel , know this 😁!! But if you haven't read the novel, I suggest you not to read it before watching the movie.

If the movie does even 10% justice to the novel, it will be a blockbuster.This is my childhood dream.Seeing the characters on screen.I have read and re-read the Tamil novel ...
What a great moment to watch this trailer, had real goosebumps throughout the trailer, each character is beautiful portrayed as imagined, proud tamilian and long live our greatest CHOLAS. Can't wait to watch the full movie.
Guys, You gotta read the books too, atleast the first one. It has five books. It's historical fiction. Every character got established in this trailer like an intro. Definitely guys watch it, the politics, dialogues, the story layers and the non linear story telling of Kalki, Super stoked for this. Fun fact : They already completed shooting for both part 1 and 2.
His narration of The History of Tamilnadu in the Chess Olympiad is the best! The mixture of both English & Tamil and his fluency in both the languages 🔥
This is Mani Ratnam's third attempt at this, it's a rich story, he's waited for over 30 years for this, I heard that even MGR wanted to make an adaptation of the novel. So with this much weight behind it, I feel this will be Mani Ratnam's magnum opus.
Achara is absolutely right! This is the Game of Thrones of Indian empire! One Throne and three brothers up for it. A lot of bloodshed. A lot of conspiracy. It's exciting!
This is going to be a 2 part franchise. And the fact is they have shot both parts. So they is no worry about the budget. This was maniratnam's dream project. Both parts were shot with a budget of 500 crores.
Dude without ps 1 entering profit zone there is no way they will do ps 2 after watching trailer and everything outside of TN it's gonna flop anyway. So the possibility of ps 2 is very low.
@@Krishna-cq6qq Dude they have finished filming for both parts. So Mani Ratnam would anyways release it cause it's his dream project, and they won't waste what they have shot duhhh. This one at least needs to cross a 250 Cr box office. Let's see don't be so pessimistic.🙃
1:55 this shot reminds me of the space ships in Dune in the beginning, kinda epic, I gotta say, never seen the front of a ship open up like that. Although I know this has nothing related to Dune(2021), both share some interesting parallels, both are based off of a novel, both are epics, both have conflicts with a lot of family stuff and treachery going on, both of the movies are divided into two parts.
Achara Kirk is spot on, she really knows background of the movie before and yes the novel is fictional, there was no Nandini , paluvetraiyars in chola dynasty, the Chola dynasty is real and very epic for us..
Archara, the story is based on 2 facts - Karikagalan, crown prince was killed and eventually, Arulmozhi - Raja Raja cholan gave up his thrown to his uncle for decade or so. Kalki - novel writer studied various inscriptions and travelled across Chola footholds in India and Srilanka for 5 yrs before writting this epic novel. To keep the story gripping, few fictional characters are added. You rightly called out, it's Indian GoT. It's a family feud to win the Chola throne.
@@adityaaryan6613 That's the beauty of this novel. All the characters are well justified by the writter. You can't name 1 antagonist. Yet, the movie glorifies Cholas. You can call Pandyas who want to revenge the death of their beloved King Veerapandian, was beheaded by Karikalan in a war.
They tried to make film based on the novel for three decades. First mgr, later kamal and mani himself 3 times. It was very difficult to convert the novel into movie. It was huge,grand and plot twost itself huge.
7:04 a correction that the PS team completed their production for both parts and the part two is on post production. The shooting of two parts were completed in a record breaking 120 days
Achara has her grasp on Tamil movies and stories accurate! 👏🏼👏🏼I think most audience here watch this videos because she is like the Tamil wife to a Korean American guy who is explaining how things work in Tamil Nadu! 😂😂
Achara could have tiny amount of Tamil blood in her from the times of the Chola rule in Thailand. Some southern Thailand people have tamil names and use Tamil words. Some Tamil is still used in Thai royal functions.
I have read the original story in Tamil that was published in a serialized from in the magazine "Kalki". A lot of people in the past attempted to make a movie out of this Magnum Opus Classic but all failed. That is, until Mani Ratnam took this challenge and seems to have done a fabulous job just looking at the Trailer. This story spans generations and has mystery, romance, violence, comedy you name it. I hope the whole movie is as good as the Trailer.
The main character of ponniyin Selvan is 40+ Character but the name ponniyin Selvan is a nick name of arunmozhi varman he described His name his rajaraja cholan after he became the king of chola dynasty and he is the fonder of the great rajarajaeswara temple
This is real history of cholas. ❤️ All indians are so proud to introduce this movie to know all nation about cholas empire what can do in that 1000 years ago 🥰.
Down south of India there were many dynasties like Chozhan, Cheran and Pandian dynasty. My parents would even share their memories on how people were identified with these dynasties(even in 20th century) like 'Pandi nada?', means 'Pandi country?' (country ruled by Pandian kings) and so. Its only post independence from the British empire it became the whole as Tamilnadu. Even other South Indian states were ruled by these kings. Phew its history.
Game of Thrones was more of a fantasy whereas this one is more grounded based on real historical story though fictional characters or events are incorporated to please the audience!
Hey react to vendhu thanindadhu kaadu Trailer starring silambarasanTR he is the hero of time loop film maanaadu blockbuster of kollywood 2021. Hope yu react to vendhu thaninadadhu kaadu trailer ASAP 😏♥️
The characters are all based in historical personages. It was Arunmozhi Varman@Raja Raja Chola (literally king of kings) who built the tanjavor Periya Kovil that still stands after a thousand years.
There are 5 novels in the series and There are 2 parts in movie with part 2 already shot with post-production going on. They can release it after 2 month of releasing part 1 .Let's see the strategy here
Vanakkam! The opening fight reminded Gladiator, the scenes between Vikram and Vikram Prabhu, the sea shore fight in Sri Lanka reminded of Troy, the scene where Karthi was alone in the sea reminded of Life of Pai, the rescue scenes of Ooman Rani reminded of The Lord of the Rings. the fight sequence of Karthi at the Fort reminded of The Scorpion King. Apart from these things the characterization is well handled. The cinematography and the lighting is enjoyable. The costumes and the use of jewelry takes the audience to the time. Sure there will be orders pouring into many jewelry shops at least in Tamilnadu. All the characters are well portrayed by the seasoned artists of our film industry. The background music and the songs are delivered well by A R Rahman. Well choreographed dances by Brindha. Lovely lines by the lyricists. Thank you Mr. Mani Ratnam- PONNIYIN SELVAN- Part-1.
As a Sri Lankan, we learned about Cholas on the receiving end. They were quite ruthless invaders in Sri Lanka, but this looks epic. No big fan of Aish, but she looks amazing here. Always love Vikram.
Being a chola mandalam girl i felt really proud of the people those who praising cholas and their technologies their navigation skill nd so on . Waiting for see psI at theater 💕💕😊
If I'm not mistaken, part two is already in making. I have read a few articles about second part being shot in various locations- one of them being Maheshwar-Mandleshwar (Madhya Pradesh state)
This really tamil (Game of Thrones and GOT-1992 but PS - 1950) this novel very big very long story impossible to convert in movie in 2 part just imagine Cholan dynasty time to below country ( pallavar, paluvettayar, sapuraiyar, velars, pandiyas, singalars, salukiyars, palars, kajapathis, Rashtirakudars- intro fight) under control by Cholans 💪🔥🔥🔥
So part 2 was filmed simultaneously... Both parts were filmed in a total of 150 days... The book is actually 5 volumes. And mani ratnam has crunched 5 volumes into 2 parts.. can't wait to see this
Cholas are the first dynasty who make water management of the rivers called ponni that means kaveri and constructed Dam still in Thanjavoor the name of the dam is KALLANAI
That is maniratnam🔥... He dont need big VFX nd sets like bahubali, RRR, bharmastra... His each shot will speak story, emotions nd Drama,, that why he his respected throughout India 👍... The whole crowd, castle, boats, animals all are real no VFX used mostly 👍... a novel "ponniyin Selvan" is the most sold book in south india and they tried to make it as movie for 70 years nd failed, finally maniratnam successed 👍 then think how crazy the story will be 🔥🔥🔥
This film is based on the novel written in 1950s by the same name. Its actually a historical fiction based on the history of Chola dynasty. Athitha Karikalan, Kunthavai, Arulmozhi Varman are not fictional but truly descendants of a Cozha king where the elder son was killed mysteriously (But there are some stone scripts of how the prince was killed) and Arulmozhi Varman became the the king Raja Raja Chozhan - its history. Nandini is a fictional character.
She is smart and got the point.... This movie not only focus on the war and also focus on drama, adventure, comedy, politics, revenge, love, lust, pain, cry and have more twist and turns....
God I didn't like the trailer. Very average. You can listen to Kannada songs if you can understand. They've come out excellently, even better than original Tamil ones.
You can see the ships in the movie. Actually, Cholas had the most powerful Navy during that era that's why their empire was spread up to the far East islands (Bali, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia......) and no one dared to attack India from the sea route.
So true 🥵💥
And Trade through navy florished at tat time..! It was epic

@@kgf_forever9426 unnecessary comment🥱🙄
If the movie does even 10% justice to the novel, it will be a blockbuster.This is my childhood dream.Seeing the characters on screen.I have read and re-read the Tamil novel ...
What a great moment to watch this trailer, had real goosebumps throughout the trailer, each character is beautiful portrayed as imagined, proud tamilian and long live our greatest CHOLAS. Can't wait to watch the full movie.
Guys, You gotta read the books too, atleast the first one. It has five books. It's historical fiction. Every character got established in this trailer like an intro. Definitely guys watch it, the politics, dialogues, the story layers and the non linear story telling of Kalki, Super stoked for this. Fun fact : They already completed shooting for both part 1 and 2.
South Indian movies are really doing very well and showing the great indian history battles ,epics and culture
GOT is fantasy and PS1 is mostly real, so pumped and proud to be a Tamilian
Kamal Haasan’s voice btw 🔥🔥
Its Haasan😬
His narration of The History of Tamilnadu in the Chess Olympiad is the best! The mixture of both English & Tamil and his fluency in both the languages 🔥
@@atheist8890 my bad 😬
This is Mani Ratnam's third attempt at this, it's a rich story, he's waited for over 30 years for this, I heard that even MGR wanted to make an adaptation of the novel. So with this much weight behind it, I feel this will be Mani Ratnam's magnum opus.
Achara is absolutely right! This is the Game of Thrones of Indian empire! One Throne and three brothers up for it. A lot of bloodshed. A lot of conspiracy. It's exciting!
Who is the third brother . Only two brothers.karthi is like a spy/friend of elder brother.
This is going to be a 2 part franchise. And the fact is they have shot both parts. So they is no worry about the budget. This was maniratnam's dream project. Both parts were shot with a budget of 500 crores.
Dude without ps 1 entering profit zone there is no way they will do ps 2 after watching trailer and everything outside of TN it's gonna flop anyway. So the possibility of ps 2 is very low.
@@Krishna-cq6qq Dude they have finished filming for both parts. So Mani Ratnam would anyways release it cause it's his dream project, and they won't waste what they have shot duhhh. This one at least needs to cross a 250 Cr box office. Let's see don't be so pessimistic.🙃
@@Krishna-cq6qq PS1 will be a blockbuster. Camera work is awesome, Real locations, Deep thorough research work and fabulous music.
@@kiruthikask9690 Im just not getting the fact that without success of a part 1, how would they shoot and complete part 2 ? Clearly it's fake 😂
@@Krishna-cq6qq They shot Part 1 and Part 2 together basically. So only editing and stuff are left. So shooting is done with Part1 for Part 2.
Then : winter is coming ❄️😍
Now : The CHOLAS are coming 🔥🤩
1:55 this shot reminds me of the space ships in Dune in the beginning, kinda epic, I gotta say, never seen the front of a ship open up like that. Although I know this has nothing related to Dune(2021), both share some interesting parallels, both are based off of a novel, both are epics, both have conflicts with a lot of family stuff and treachery going on, both of the movies are divided into two parts.
Glorious Era of India all true Jai Shree Ram 🙏🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩Jai Maa Bharthi 🇮🇳🙏🚩
Achara Kirk is spot on, she really knows background of the movie before and yes the novel is fictional, there was no Nandini , paluvetraiyars in chola dynasty, the Chola dynasty is real and very epic for us..
Proud to be a tamilian this movie is the most important part of the tamilnadu
Archara, the story is based on 2 facts - Karikagalan, crown prince was killed and eventually, Arulmozhi - Raja Raja cholan gave up his thrown to his uncle for decade or so.
Kalki - novel writer studied various inscriptions and travelled across Chola footholds in India and Srilanka for 5 yrs before writting this epic novel. To keep the story gripping, few fictional characters are added.
You rightly called out, it's Indian GoT. It's a family feud to win the Chola throne.
Who is villain in this movie
@@adityaaryan6613 That's the beauty of this novel. All the characters are well justified by the writter. You can't name 1 antagonist.
Yet, the movie glorifies Cholas. You can call Pandyas who want to revenge the death of their beloved King Veerapandian, was beheaded by Karikalan in a war.
@@adityaaryan6613 Aishwarya and there is a huge gang also.....the pandiya conspirators
They tried to make film based on the novel for three decades. First mgr, later kamal and mani himself 3 times. It was very difficult to convert the novel into movie. It was huge,grand and plot twost itself huge.
If this movie could have made as series with high budget,it could be epic.becz it has lot of story.
I saw you reacting to Steven He and then I see you reacting to one of my favourite Tamil movies. Bruh, this is a dream come true.
7:04 a correction that the PS team completed their production for both parts and the part two is on post production. The shooting of two parts were completed in a record breaking 120 days
Achara has her grasp on Tamil movies and stories accurate! 👏🏼👏🏼I think most audience here watch this videos because she is like the Tamil wife to a Korean American guy who is explaining how things work in Tamil Nadu! 😂😂
Achara could have tiny amount of Tamil blood in her from the times of the Chola rule in Thailand. Some southern Thailand people have tamil names and use Tamil words. Some Tamil is still used in Thai royal functions.
Ponniya stands for Tamil name of Kaveri River hence Ponniyan Selvam means Son of Kaveri River across which Chola Empire was ❤️
For sure this movie will become a huge success
Is it going to release in Hindi as well??
@@aashishgupta9392 Yes it is getting released in south indian 4 languages and Hindi
@@aashishgupta9392 tamil, hindi, telugu, Malayalam, kannada 🤩
If Tamil makes shity Vijay successful , tamilian should make these film mandatory to watch for any tamilian
Jealousy dropping from Jaby's eyes, lol. Poor guy. Achara keep rubbing it
I have read the original story in Tamil that was published in a serialized from in the magazine "Kalki". A lot of people in the past attempted to make a movie out of this Magnum Opus Classic but all failed. That is, until Mani Ratnam took this challenge and seems to have done a fabulous job just looking at the Trailer.
This story spans generations and has mystery, romance, violence, comedy you name it.
I hope the whole movie is as good as the Trailer.
The main character of ponniyin Selvan is 40+
Character but the name ponniyin Selvan is a nick name of arunmozhi varman he described
His name his rajaraja cholan after he became the king of chola dynasty and he is the fonder of the great rajarajaeswara temple
Archara have the best flimography knowledge ever 🔥❤️ love her way of understanding things
This is Maniratnam.
obviously it will be STUNNING 🔥❤️
I was waiting for your reaction! Most awaited movie ever
India doesn't need new stories. It has historical stories enough for a thousand years.
Looks really real . Historical stories are so catching and more excited for Vikram .
Achara is perfectly right about karthi's(Vandhiyadevan) and vikram's (Aditha karikalan) characters.
Need Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu Trailer Reaction
When it comes to Maniratnam sir, you know you'll get style + substance. The legendary filmmaker 🙏🙏🙏.
This is real history of cholas. ❤️ All indians are so proud to introduce this movie to know all nation about cholas empire what can do in that 1000 years ago 🥰.
Aiswarya rai is the antagonist and
Mark my words Karthi aka vandhiyathevan is going to be the show stealer 🥳💥
Bhai isme hero kaun hai
@@adityaaryan6613 in the novel the hero is Vandhiyathevan (Karthi)
@@nithin2355 mai toh bas vikram ko jaanta hu inme male actor me woh villian hai kya
This is story of our tamil king raja raja cholan (Arulmoli varman) lived 1010AD. In kalki ponniyin selvan novel there is 70% fiction & 30 % history.
Achara is so smart that she breaks down a trailer so well and in detail...so amazed!!!
Down south of India there were many dynasties like Chozhan, Cheran and Pandian dynasty. My parents would even share their memories on how people were identified with these dynasties(even in 20th century) like 'Pandi nada?', means 'Pandi country?' (country ruled by Pandian kings) and so. Its only post independence from the British empire it became the whole as Tamilnadu. Even other South Indian states were ruled by these kings. Phew its history.
Game of Thrones was more of a fantasy whereas this one is more grounded based on real historical story though fictional characters or events are incorporated to please the audience!
Hey react to vendhu thanindadhu kaadu Trailer starring silambarasanTR he is the hero of time loop film maanaadu blockbuster of kollywood 2021. Hope yu react to vendhu thaninadadhu kaadu trailer ASAP 😏♥️
The characters are all based in historical personages. It was Arunmozhi Varman@Raja Raja Chola (literally king of kings) who built the tanjavor Periya Kovil that still stands after a thousand years.
This story is based on Novel Ponniyin Selvan by Kalki ...and this is the most favourite novel for Tamils..love to read it again again...
There are 5 novels in the series and There are 2 parts in movie with part 2 already shot with post-production going on. They can release it after 2 month of releasing part 1 .Let's see the strategy here
Vanakkam! The opening fight reminded Gladiator, the scenes between Vikram and Vikram Prabhu, the sea shore fight in Sri Lanka reminded of Troy, the scene where Karthi was alone in the sea reminded of Life of Pai, the rescue scenes of Ooman Rani reminded of The Lord of the Rings. the fight sequence of Karthi at the Fort reminded of The Scorpion King. Apart from these things the characterization is well handled. The cinematography and the lighting is enjoyable. The costumes and the use of jewelry takes the audience to the time. Sure there will be orders pouring into many jewelry shops at least in Tamilnadu. All the characters are well portrayed by the seasoned artists of our film industry. The background music and the songs are delivered well by A R Rahman. Well choreographed dances by Brindha. Lovely lines by the lyricists. Thank you Mr. Mani Ratnam- PONNIYIN SELVAN- Part-1.
As a Sri Lankan, we learned about Cholas on the receiving end. They were quite ruthless invaders in Sri Lanka, but this looks epic. No big fan of Aish, but she looks amazing here. Always love Vikram.
Ponniyin selvan is Historical fiction story written by the author Kalki Krishnamoorththi... And this movie is an inspiration from that novel
Yeah' achara is back ...😊 You too are best together👍🔥
Actually the truth is Baahubali2 elephant scene is copied from PS novel
Edit: few more scenes also, if you read the novel you can get that all😁
Copy nahi hai bhai idea liya hai
@@adityaaryan6613 nahi bhai PS1 sey Bahubhali mey thoda scenes copied hai eg : River sey rajamatha baby lifting scene originally PS novel copied
Being a chola mandalam girl i felt really proud of the people those who praising cholas and their technologies their navigation skill nd so on . Waiting for see psI at theater 💕💕😊
If I'm not mistaken, part two is already in making. I have read a few articles about second part being shot in various locations- one of them being Maheshwar-Mandleshwar (Madhya Pradesh state)
😂😂
interesting news is part 1 & part 2 has already completed. giant Mani Ratnam has completed this within 150 days. ☺️
This really tamil (Game of Thrones and GOT-1992 but PS - 1950) this novel very big very long story impossible to convert in movie in 2 part just imagine
Cholan dynasty time to below country
( pallavar, paluvettayar, sapuraiyar, velars, pandiyas, singalars, salukiyars, palars, kajapathis, Rashtirakudars- intro fight) under control by Cholans 💪🔥🔥🔥
This will be a great film , story of our kings, who preserve our culture. Great kings
So part 2 was filmed simultaneously... Both parts were filmed in a total of 150 days... The book is actually 5 volumes. And mani ratnam has crunched 5 volumes into 2 parts.. can't wait to see this
Really 😱😱
Chiyyan never fails to give goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Worth waiting for PS🔥
Do it for vendhu thanithathu kaadu jaby

Like prithviraj chauhan so fast
@@muhammadlayeeqahmad7966
Yeah but the story here is really good
My most favorite fil of the south industry. Absolutely nothing can beat this
Cholas are the first dynasty who make water management of the rivers called ponni that means kaveri and constructed Dam still in Thanjavoor the name of the dam is KALLANAI
Yes the Indian version of game of thrones that's I too thought
But with more intensity 🤯🤯🤯🙌🙌
That is maniratnam🔥... He dont need big VFX nd sets like bahubali, RRR, bharmastra... His each shot will speak story, emotions nd Drama,, that why he his respected throughout India 👍... The whole crowd, castle, boats, animals all are real no VFX used mostly 👍... a novel "ponniyin Selvan" is the most sold book in south india and they tried to make it as movie for 70 years nd failed, finally maniratnam successed 👍 then think how crazy the story will be 🔥🔥🔥
@@shanthon6924 Done 👍 spelling mistake aiduchi

This film is based on the novel written in 1950s by the same name. Its actually a historical fiction based on the history of Chola dynasty. Athitha Karikalan, Kunthavai, Arulmozhi Varman are not fictional but truly descendants of a Cozha king where the elder son was killed mysteriously (But there are some stone scripts of how the prince was killed) and Arulmozhi Varman became the the king Raja Raja Chozhan - its history. Nandini is a fictional character.
She is smart and got the point.... This movie not only focus on the war and also focus on drama, adventure, comedy, politics, revenge, love, lust, pain, cry and have more twist and turns....
70% real 30% fiction according to the director!
I didn’t get impressed by teaser and Telugu songs. But the trailer is superb 🔥🔥🔥 Especially color grading and vfx has improved a lot. Hyped up!
God I didn't like the trailer. Very average.
You can listen to Kannada songs if you can understand. They've come out excellently, even better than original Tamil ones.
iam tamilian and I love Bahubali 1, 2 and RRR , KGF a lot than PS1 . however i congrats all these films for their best efforts
70Million people waiting for 70years for this movie to be made and finally it's here
Chola is the very powerful density . Love form tamilnadu
Very proud to be tamilan
Lovely ❤️
