Awarding 3.5 stars, News18 said, “The two-part series could have been explored as a grand web series of sorts, something similar to Game of Thrones, or even a three-part film series.” As such, the characters should be fully fleshed out and people should be allowed to make their own choices. Overall, when Ponniyin Selvan was announced, it appeared to be a great door opener for those who were not aware of the five-part novel. However, the two-part series ends up being a great cinematic experience that fell short when it came to storytelling.
The two-part film Ponniyin Selvan is an adaptation of Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 novel of the same name. Mani Ratnam wanted to make a film on this popular book for years and finally got the chance to release it last year. It has a star cast including Chiyaan Vikram.
