The makers of Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1 have promoted the film as a grand visual spectacle. The film features an engrossing premise that revolves around India’s greatest Empire, the Cholas.
Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1 is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 novel of the same name. It is worth mentioning that Mani Ratnam’s period drama is the first Tamil film to be screened in the visually immersive IMAX format.
Critics have praised Mani Ratnam for his near-flawless adaptation of a much-loved literary work. Many prominent critics have marvelled at how Mani Ratnam has managed to shrink a complex five-volume novel into a two-part movie. Moreover, movie buffs have loved Ponniyin Selvan’s vast scale and visual scope.
