The epic historical drama, made on a Rs. 250 crore budget, must maintain the same box office hold for another couple of weeks to be considered a hit. The picture does have the advantage of not competing with any major star releases this month.
“Ponniyin Selvan 1 and 2 are based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 historical fiction novel of the same name. It narrates the story of Arulmozhivarman (Jayam Ravi), a great southern monarch who rose to become the renowned Chola ruler Rajaraja Chola I.
