The movie opened to amazing cinematography and improved makeup. There was clarity in dialogue delivery, and crisp scenes kept it moving at timed precision. But, slowly, Kalki's Ponniyan Selvan morphed into Maniratnam's version.
The climax was quite disappointing - I don't see justice to Kalki here.
Maniratnam Sir corrected all the flaws of PS1 but could have avoided changing the storyline.
It's a must-watch for all Tamilians.
