Ponniyin Selvan 1 Review &box office (400cr movie) (DT Note pg22) - Page 6

A Tamil dubbed film Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 has also been released and the opening is fair for a Tamil dubbed film with a weird name and it may collect 1.50 crore nett plus. This film has opened huge in Tamil Nadu and maybe heading for a 20 crore or even higher day one in that state and there have been very few films going above 20 crore nett in that state.

Most critics and reviewers watched VV first and gave their reviews.

Bharadwaj Rangan has watched the film and liked it. You can find his reviews on YT.

TOI, Hindustan times and a few others have reviewed and given a positive feedback.


OP - Please post whatever reviews you can find in Hindi. I mostly see Tamil reviews everywhere.

Ponniyin Selvan 1 movie review: Mani Ratnam’s largely faithful and brilliant adaptation has no dull moments

Ponniyin Selvan 1 movie review: Mani Ratnam understands Kalki's novel is a mainstream page-turner, so he retains its flavour and neither intellectualises it nor dumbs it down.

^From that review

I don’t know if anyone other than Mani Ratnam could have done justice to all the hype Kalki created about Nandini Devi. Yes, it is played by Aishwarya Rai, but her scenes are a study in perfectly presenting a character — the seductive music and soft focus are as sensuous as the actor herself. Mani Ratnam has indeed created Kalki’s ‘Maya Mohini’ on screen.

Same. Poor guy has been working on this for 40 years. Too much pressure on him to deliver . If he screws up, people will kill him.
