Watched #PonniyinSelvan ????

Trisha was a treat to the eyes, such a beautiful representation of Princess Kundavai ??

The mystery behind the character of Nandini was consistently carried throughout.

Overall, a visual treat with multiple emotional triggers of duty and family ☺️

#PonniyinSelvan First Half

Report: An engaging, very good first half!

The pacing is slow and steady, but keeps you engaged. Yes, there are no massy moments, but the storytelling so far is well done ????!

Hoping the second half is equally good!#PS1 #PonniyinSelvan1

#PonniyinSelvan Classy and engrossing. You can feel the #ManiRatnam touch in adaptation of #Kalki’s classic. Story telling at its best, palace intrigues & politics well etched and a stunning high seas climax. Star character intro neatly done and amazing camera by @dop_ravivarman

▪︎#AishwaryaRai And #Trisha's Screen Presence Was So Good To Watch.

Please don't compare #PonniyinSelvan with Baahubali franchise.
Ponniyin Selvan is deeply rooted and super focused on story. It has storytelling at its best. It has been mostly shot in real-life locations. In terms of making, it's at par with GOT, Gladiator and LOTR. #PS1

#PS1 better than bahubali??
It's near to life narration ????
But When reading d book i loved the spy scene in the palace the plot & reveal was just mind bending ..??
Y #ManiRatnam made it flat??
Y @arrahman goes flat there ??
