Ponniyin Selvan 2 stars Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Trisha Krishnan, and Karthi. The film is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy's famous novel.
Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, said, “Ponniyin Selvan, based on an adaptation of Kalki's magnum opus by director Mani Ratnam, B. Jeyamohan and Elango Kumaravel, takes some liberties with the much-loved literary work. It yields dividends because the departures are never unduly self-conscious. The overall impact of the construct is accentuated by Ratnam's firm grasp on the technical aspects and the textual essence of the story.”
