Sarathkumar, and Prakash Raj, among others, released on April 28 and has already earned a whopping Rs 200 crore worldwide in just four days.
Trade expert Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and revealed the news. He wrote, “‘PS2’ AMASSES MASSIVE NUMBERS… #ManiRatnam’s #PonniyinSelvan2 [#PS2] continues to cast a spell at the #BO… Rewriting record books! #PS2RunningSuccessfully.”
The film has benefitted from the May 1 holiday in numerous parts of the country, pushing the film’s collection past double century. Trade analyst Ramesh Bala added that while Ponniyin Selvan 2 recorded a good opening, it couldn’t beat Ponniyin Selvan 1 to become the highest-grossing Kollywood movie at the TN box office.
Ponniyin Selvan 2 is a continuation of PS1. The two-part film is an adaptation of Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 novel Ponniyin Selvan. Mani Ratnam wanted to make a film on the popular book for years now and finally got a chance to release it last year.
Aishwarya Rai and Vikram’s performances are being praised in Ponniyin Selvan 2. News18’s review of the film reads, “Aishwarya reminds us that she flourishes as an actress under the guidance of Ratnam. She conveys her inner turmoil, her heartbreak, and her wounds so effortlessly. You could tell that the camera surrendered to her. She is brilliantly supported by Vikram. Their first scene together is nothing but them locking eyes and exchanging a few lines but Vikram emotes the emotion of hurt admirably. One of the best scenes in the film is their confrontation scene."
The success of Ponniyin Selvan 2 is a testament to Mani Ratnam’s brilliance as a filmmaker. The movie is a visual delight and has managed to capture the imagination of the audience. With its impressive box office collection, the movie is sure to be remembered as one of the most successful films of the year.
