It was a good movie to watch in theathers. I not read the book of ponniyin selvan. So I don't know that much of the story in detail. I only got listen to the story until some chapters in youtube. Also some people who read the story said some war scenes added in the movie but not in the original book. So here is my overall opinion of the movie.
1. Good movie
2. The screenplay is slow,but it is okay
3. If you know about cholas and pandiyas then your feeling for the movie will be different compare to if you not ever heard about them then your feeling for the movie would be different.
4. Two songs good in this movie,others not give that much impact for me,also for most of them.
5. War sequence not that great,in my opinion it can be make better if do some research in put more efforts in action sequence.
6. Some scenes, sometimes cannot understand if you watch the film for one time, you need to watch two time,if you wish you want to understand 100 percent of the story.
7. All actors done a pretty good job in this.
8. In my opinion this story should have to be taken as a web series to explain in detail.
