Damn! He's really done it. #ManiRatnam's #PonniyinSelvan1 is a spectacular adaptation that superbly captures the intrigue, thrills and page-turning quality of #Kalki's books. The start is shaky, but the entire second half is the master showing us all that he's still the boss.

செம விறுவிறுனு போகுது.. Good Story,Characterizations, Setting of Plot
And மணி Making, Craft ல மிரட்டி விட்ருக்காப்ல..Frames லாம் அவ்ளோ செமயா இருக்கு.. Especially The Idea To Not Have & Wide shots for Grandeur and The Usage of Handheld Shots were Terrific
#PonniyinSelvan wish they had continued with part 2…I can’t wait till next year..Mani Saar successfully took us to the Chola world with his story telling…As a fanboy of Mani was slightly disappointed but as a movie it worked really well..Visuals were terrific.overall #PS1

Writer Kalki’s epic novel in director Mani Rathnam’s big screen signature.
Slow, calm to enter the Cholas world & the internal politics to acquire the big throne.
Engaging & convincing with superb performances & presentation.
LOVELY, WELL DONE #PS1 pic.twitter.com/DHdvnWaHc9
