Shalini Dore Variety The acting is strong across the board, while costumes, production design and cinematography all serve to tell the tale fittingly. May 5, 2023 Full Review Anupama Chopra Film Companion Ambition, greed, romance and grief. This game of thrones doesn’t overshadow the people playing it. May 2, 2023 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com 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 Apr 28, 2023 Full Review Sakhi Thirani 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. Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Vinamra Mathur Firstpost 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 Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Vishal Menon 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.

Neo Mani knows how to do historical the right way! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review Venkat Mani Ratnam has done justice to the novel. Great photography, Mani Ratnam - Rahman music never fails & all artists have done wonderful work Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/23 Full Review Google Great photography, great acting, music to the ears Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/23 Full Review Fish_eyed 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/08/23 Full Review N. P. 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/23 Full Review Peter First part is much better. 2nd part not complete good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
