The
multistarrer
magnum
opus
Ponniyin
Selvan,
directed
by
Mani
Ratnam
is
running
successfully
at
the
box
office
despite
various
opinions
on
it.
While
a
certain
section
of
the
audience
claimed
it
to
be
one
of
the
superfine
films,
a
few
are
divided
over
the
film's
slow
narration,
grandeur,
and
lack
of
thrilling
moments.
However,
everyone
who
watched
the
film
is
in
awe
of
the
fantastic
performances
of
the
lead
actors.

Rahman,
Vikram
Prabhu,
Jayaram
and
Prabhu
among
others
played
crucial
roles
in
the
film.
The
film's
visuals,
composed
by
Ravi
Verman
have
paled
and
AR
Rahman's
score
seemed
inadequate
for
a
film
of
that
genre
and
time.

Ponniyin
Selvan,
however,
is
a
decently
made
historic
drama,
which
is
said
to
have
justified
the
literary
work
of
Kalki
Krishnamurthy,
who
wrote
the
famous
novel
Ponniyin
Selvan
in
five
parts.
The
native
moviegoers,
literary
and
art
connoisseurs
are
happy
with
Mani
Ratnam's
way
of
bringing
out
one
of
the
dream
projects
of
many
Kollywood
stalwarts
to
life
on
celluloid.
