Why people over seventy years are loving Ponniyin Selvan
Hi Friends, welcome to our channel. This is a short video on why Ponniyin Selvan is being loved by people over seventy years, which is unheard of so far in the Tamil industry. However, there is a reason behind it too. We are trying to analyze the reasons behind it too. Of course, the main reason for the success is the Late Kalki who wrote this Story and Mani ratnam, the director, who has a penchant for picturizing real life stories to the hilt. People who are over seventy and who are generally not regular cine goers have flocked to the theater. Mani Ratnam has evoked interest in them too. For People above Seventy, Ponniyin Selvan was and is something close to their hearts. They must have read it in their childhood and would like to watch how it pans out on the Silver Screen also. What #PS1 also reveals that you don't need glamor always to make a movie as a hit. Good film making is also a necessity for success. Please watch this transcribed vidoe and leave your comments below.
Hi Friends, welcome to our channel. This is a short video on why Ponniyin Selvan would be a blockbuster. Thanks to a successful audio launch and participation of Thalaivar Super Star rajinikanth and KamalHassan, fans of both legends are likely to welcome the movie in the theaters by giving it a big thumbs up. We are also eagerly awaiting for the same. In this video we have analyzed how it would emerge successful in Telugu and Hindi also. Please watch and provide your comments below.
Who should have played Sundara Chola in Ponniyin Selvan#ps1#ponniyinselvantamilstory
Hi Friends, welcome to our channel. Well, this is a short video on our thoughts about who should have played the role of Sundar Chola in Ponniyin Selvan. Also, our thoughts on what you need to do if you haven't read the novel yet.
Well, the role of Sundara Chola, the father of Raja Raja Chola is played by Prakash Raj in the movie. Sundar means beauty in Sanskrit. Since he was very handsome, he was called as Sundara Chola or the beautiful king. Although we don't have anything against Prakash raj, we feel a hero like Kamalahaasan or Arvind Swami could have played that role, making it lot more real. Prakash raj is also a good cast, but he has slightly villainous eyes which make more suitable for villain roles. In the story though he is shown mostly unwell and bed ridden, it could have still made a lot of difference.
Kamalahaasan however does have a role to play in the movie as a voice over of time. He must be describing about various characters in his chaste tamil which could also be found everyone:). The other thing we wanted to discuss about was if you have not read the novel yet. As you know, the movie is tied to the novel written in the 1950's by the late Kalki. If you haven't read the novel yet, the best bet is to read the novel now. It is available as an application also on Android or Iphone. One can very well try reading it. If you haven't read it and are trying to watch some videos that say Ponniyin Selvan story in 30 minutes, you are making a grave mistake. You won't be able to understand the depth of the characters and would be having only a small view of the movie. Hence, if you haven't read the novel yet, it's better to not read it now and watch the movie. Else, you won't be able to enjoy the movie! That's for sure.
The other thing about the teaser was that some people felt that there was to much of violence depicted. The reason is that Aditya Karikalan, the eldest Son of Sundara Chola was an able general and was also cruel to his enemies. He would permit his Soldiers to loot enemy terrritory after a war. In order to depict that convincingly, the teaser might have been shown that way. Raja Raja, his younger Son was however more benevolent and Straight forward. In fact, whenever he fought a war, he used to insist that all goods and food for the army are sent from Chola Empire. In that way, he was very much different from most other kings. There is also a case filed on Mani Ratnam that the characters have not been shown with Holy ash smeared on their heads as the Cholas were Shaivites. For us also this sounds a bit odd but looking it at a larger perspective, we feel its ok to cater multi linguistic people. We will be releasing follow up videos on the remaining characters one by one. We hope you liked the video. Please share and don't forget to subscribe.

Hi Friends, this is a short video on Ponniyin Selvan is not just a remake of a novel into a Movie. It is Tamilnadu's ancient history being told on a big canvas. It is a story about the brave history of the Tamilians. Raja raja got the name after his conquests and erection of big Temple for Lord Shiva in Thanjavur. His original name was Arunmozhi Thevan. It was called Brihadeeswaram. He got the inspiration to construct the big temple after looking at the huge Statues of Buddha erected in Sri Lanka. He also became famous after constructing the big temple. The late Kalki wrote Ponniyin Selvan in the 1940's Bahubali, that turned out to be very impressive was an imaginary story, whereas Ponniyin Selvan is a real life Story, where the hero in the Novel was Vanthia Thevan, the brother-in-law of Raja Raja. We would seen RRR which was a magnum opus movie where we felt that story didn't necessitate such a magnum opus. On the other hand, Ponniyin Selvan story itself is a magnum opus and necessitates such a huge star cast and money spending. There is a story behind each character. It is definitely a challenge for Mani Ratnam to bring it out but he is definitely capable of doing a good job. The Movie has been planned as a release on September 30th. It was planned for a mid-summer release but had to be postponed due to post production work. From our channel we plan to produce regular videos until the movie's release. Ponniyin Selvan is a story I like the most and it is also the one liked very much by our Super Star Rajinikanth who mentioned it in his interview to Director Balachander. I have read it many times. Prior to writing the novel, Kalki had traveled within Thanjavur district and had traveled to the places where the story really happened. He was therefore able to bring in the nativity into the Story. I also remember another movie Sivalaperi Pandi that was released in 1993. The Story's write Sowbha traveled extensively inside Tirunelveli district to gather facts about Pandi's life which made the movie more genuine and watchable. At that Napoleon was not a big hero. PS is a real story and there are several twists in the movie. We also need to talk about the producer Lyca for coming forward to produce the movie and spend a huge amount of Money. We may wonder why such pumping of money into the venture, however the Story necessitates it and requires it also. The advantage of the movie is lot of foreign tourists would visit India to go around the places where the Story really happened. We can therefore expect tourist arrivals to pick up if the movie is a success and audience like it. We must therefore be prepared for it. The Story's start itself would be very dramatic and make it interesting right from the start. Mani ratnam's main talent is that he is adept at directing movies that are true stories. A simple example is Nayakan, which was a true story. We wish Mani Ratnam and team all the best and are as eager as anyone to watch the movie.
