Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 (2022) Tamil Movie Review


Movie is faithful to the book and author. They made the real classic with enough class and mass moments. If you read the book, you can enjoy every hidden things, if not still you can enjoy this epic with its majestic presentation.

The songs are choreographed very well and most of the songs over in the first half itself. The placement of the songs are so good and they didnt break the flow.

The camera work is so good, whether war scene or horse race, everything is captured so well and each and every frame is so class even with difficult angles. The best example is Karkalan forgiving the Rashtrakoodan scene from his horse.

This is real milestone in Tamil cinema, Mani Ratnam did it without any compromise.

The Pazhuvettaiyar anger towards Kundavai, Nandini interaction with other characters, Kundavai Vanthiyathevan first love are not shown...They omitted all this because of Movie and its timing.

The only disappointment was Poonkulali character intro missing.

My biggest worry while watching the movie was, "it is going to end" why why it is ending....they should have added another 30 minutes.

The cast and their roles are perfectly fit. The production values and CG work are top notch.

Spoilers ahead: They reduced Alvarkkadiyan role and Vanthiyathevan did all his work by own No Manimegalai role and they used her name, thats it No Kudanthai Jothidar and the complete Kundavai-Vanthiyathevan initial intro scenes.

Sol Song is not there in first part Poonkulali character intro was so abrupt and not detailed in the movie. Real disappointment.

Mammootty stars as Luke Antony, a mysterious NRI who turns up one day in a sleepy village hamlet, having seemingly lost track of his wife after they both were involved in a car accident. Hell bent on finding her or the perpetrators behind his disappearance, the stranger takes up residence in the town and eventually find out that the outwardly simple-minded villagers all have something to hide and their own s...
