Director Mani Ratnam's movie Ponniyin Selvan 2 was launched globally on 28 April in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. Following the first part, the film premiered with special shows in many locations. The preceding part of the movie, Ponniyin Selvan 1 which was released in September 2022, shattered multiple Box Office records and was a massive hit.

The movie has been receiving favourable feedback from both fans and critics. Fans who watched the film shared their initial thoughts on Twitter, with some even describing it as a true representation of Indian cinema. In addition, some viewers compared it to SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2 and found it to be better.
Ponniyin Selvan 2 Released
One user wrote that they thoroughly enjoyed watching PonniyinSelvan 2 and found the acting performances to be exceptional, particularly those of AishwaryaRai, ChiyaanVikram and JayamRavi. However, the impact of the movie, especially the powerful scenes, would not have been as strong without the contribution of ARRahman.
One individual commented, stating that the film Ponniyin Selvan 2 is a true source of pride for the Indian film industry. The individual also claimed that it surpasses the highly acclaimed Bahubali 2 and that the box office is facing a threat due to its success.
Another person wrote that Mani Ratnam's latest masterpiece, despite many production obstacles, is a testament to his perseverance and dedication to his craft. He had to shelve the project several times, but was able to successfully bring it to fruition. Anyone who faced similar challenges would most likely not have been able to produce such a magnificent and accomplished film.
According to a twitter user, the latest film Ponniyin Selvan2 had excellent performances by actors Vikram and Aish Rai, as well as Trisha, JR, and Karthi, who also did a great job. The visuals and artwork were impressive, although the use of slow-motion during certain high points was unexplained. However, the background music by ARR was disappointing. The overall story was told well, despite the slow pace. The user also appreciated the original ending.
Someone else wrote that the second instalment of Ponniyin Selvan is a winner and a brilliant sequel directed by Mani Ratnam. Chiyaan Vikram's performance steals the show, especially in the faceoff scene. The entire cast gives good performances, and the music, cinematography, and artwork are all top-notch. Overall, this is a neat period drama that is worth watching.
According to another tweet, Vikram and Aishwarya Rai stood out in PonniyinSelvan2. Trisha, JR, and Karthi also performed very well. The visuals and art were impressive, although there were many high points that could have been shown at a normal speed instead of in slow motion. The background music composed by AR Rahman was underwhelming. The pace of the movie was slow, but the story was told effectively. The original ending was well-received.
