In the year 978 AD, Nandini had plotted against the royal princes and Emperor Sundara Chozhar to exact revenge for the slaying of the Pandya King Veerapandian. She had infiltrated the Cholas by marrying the Chola treasurer Periya Pazhuvettarayar and creating a Machiavellian scheme. It's now a race against time for the Chola Princes to win the battle against the wrath of the Pandyas, the enraged army of the Rashtrakutas, the powerful Pazhuvettarayar's betrayal and in the case of Aditha Karikalan, the battle against his heart and the vengeful Nandini.

The acting is strong across the board, while costumes, production design and cinematography all serve to tell the tale fittingly.

Ambition, greed, romance and grief. This game of thrones doesn’t overshadow the people playing it.

Ratnam and his collaborators stick the landing on their gargantuan pot-boiler, and while Krishnamurthy’s world may not look as grand as it seemed, either in the moviemakers’ heads or on the page, it is big enough to get lost in.

Rated: 3/4

Common Sense Media

Director Mani Ratnam once again takes the reins to this historical Indian sequel that brings together different genres of action, drama, romance, and tragedy on an epic scale.

Part one was just a set-up, and all the unconnected threads and loose ends could be answered in part two, that’s the expectation and anticipation for this opus. And they are answered and connected, most compellingly.

Rated: 3/5

Film Companion

What makes PS2 a special film is how we’re always accepting of these characters for who they are as regular people, devoid of the stature their positions come with.

Planned and executed very well. Some parts in the book not shown here and that is good as otherwise it will go on beyond 3 hours.

Beautiful and well made conclusion to the somewhat abrupt part 1. The movie has not done enough justice to the 5 volume novel. I feel it would be much more enjoyable to someone not acquainted with the history and novels, to see it as a trilogy. And yet an extremely enjoyable movie. Direction, Editing, Music and Acting is above average and one multistarrer that has not felt like a waste of multiple acting talents. Definitely a movie I'd watch again.
