Varshangalkku Shesham Isn’t That Impressive & A Tamil Producer Revealed Film’s Demands. (Photo Credit – IMDb)
Fahadh Faasil’s Aavesham clashed with Varshangalkku Shesham on April 11, and obviously, the former is faring better at the box office. However, the latter was pretty confident about itself and even put up way too high of a demand from producers to sell the theatrical rights of the films.
Varshangalkku Shesham Box Office Collection
In 17 days, the period comedy-drama, helmed by Vineeth Sreenivasan, has touched the 75 crore gross mark worldwide. Meanwhile, in India, the film has earned 32.90 crore.
On the 17th day, the film earned more than 1 crore at the box office. However, it is nowhere close to Aavesham, which has collected 54.81 crore at the box office. In fact, if the numbers are broken down by region, a Tamil producer has shocking claims to make about Varshangalkku Shesham.

The trailer of Jayam Ravi’s upcoming film Iraivan has been released and it promises to be a gripping and gruesome thriller. The film, directed by Ahmed, features Jayam Ravi as a cop who is on the hunt for a psychopath killer, played by Rahul Bose. The film also stars Nayanthara, Narain, Ashish Vidyarthi, Lachu and others.
Iraivan is Jayam Ravi’s next film after his impressive performance as Arunmozhi Varman in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan 2. The actor has once again chosen a challenging role that showcases his versatility and intensity. He plays Arjun, a cop who believes in delivering justice without any delay or mercy. He is pitted against Bramma, a serial killer who has brutally murdered 12 young girls and has no remorse for his actions. Bramma, who uses a smiley as his signature mark, is under the observation of psychologists, but he seems to be one step ahead of them.

When last we saw the title character of Mani Ratnam’s epic “Ponniyin Selvan” saga, the real-life prince who would expand the Chola empire from South India all the way to the Ganges in the north was drowning as he crossed from Lanka to India. Instead of picking up at that cliffhanger, the action-packed second installment rewinds a few decades to focus on different characters, before circling back to reveal the fate of Jayam Ravi’s title character, also known as Arunmozhi Varman.
“Ponniyin Selvan: Part Two” starts by filling in the backstory of how Arunmozhi’s older brother, Crown Prince Aditha Karikalan (Vikram), fell for Nandini (Aishwariya Rai Bachchan), an orphaned girl living with a priest family at the local temple. The royal family disapproved of him marrying a girl whose antecedents weren’t known, and so she was chased off. The story then picks up to when reports...

CinemaActor Jayam Ravi talks about being seen as the ‘nice guy’ of Tamil cinema, the bonhomie on the sets of ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, the cultural footprint of ‘Santhosh Subramaniam’ and more. Instagram/Jayam RaviThroughout his acting career, Jayam Ravi was seen as a sweet, endearing ‘boy next door’ and every other adjective that meant he was a safe bet, ever since he made his debut in a lead role with Jayam in 2003. But this changed in 2015 with Thani Oruvan. Suddenly, people realised that his sweet face could also crumple convincingly in anger. And now, after the Ponniyin Selvan films, there’s near-unanimous agreement that no one other than Jayam Ravi could have inhabited the titular role better, with his understated regality, valour and dignity. The extensive promotions for the films were another story altogether. Ravi stole hearts with his salt and pepper look and stylish ensembles. His heartfelt conversations, some of them teary-eyed,...

Ponniyin Selvan 2
Mani Ratnam’s sprawling visually plush two-part Ponniyin Selvan has ended. I say this with a sigh of relief. The downpour of plot twists and torrent of characters, all abiding by no fixed law of existence, left me exhausted, in a good way.
Where but in Mani Ratnam’s epic excursion would you get such a torrent of events. It is as though the Gods have conspired to lay bare a treasury of lost events from a time when dynasties fought their battles with the sword and didn’t mind squandering their might in a game of thorns plucked from man’s (and in this case woman’s) very basic need to possess what is rightfully not theirs.
From the cornucopia of characters it is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Nandini, the Queen designate whose hunger for power is matched by her anger at the loss of love , which stands out.

ReviewIf Kalki’s literary magnum opus belongs to Arunmozhi Varman, Mani Ratnam’s film belongs to Aditha Karikalan. And who can resist Vikram when he’s at the top of his game?Courtesy: Twitter/ Lyca ProductionsThe first part of Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan, co-written with Jeyamohan and Elango Kumaravel, began with Aditha Karikalan (Vikram) defeating the Rashtrakutas but refusing to behead their king. He circles the king on his horse, but when the moment arrives, his face clouds with a memory. He knocks off his headgear instead of his head. This is a battle-ready, aggressive prince but his rage is directed most at himself. The love he once harboured has twisted itself into hate. The first film ended with Arunmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi) falling into the sea, but the second film doesn’t begin from there. Instead, it goes back to that love story once again. A young Karikalan...

KollywoodA Gen Z reader of Kalki's literary magnum opus ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ pens her thoughts on the women characters who drive the story forward, Mani Ratnam's adaptation of them to celluloid, and her anticipations for the sequel.Courtesy: Twitter/ Lyca ProductionsWhen veteran Tamil filmmaker Mani Ratnam decided to finally translate Kalki's literary magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan to celluloid, a long-pending dream project of Kollywood, fans were doing cartwheels in excitement. Amid euphoric discussions about the music and the grand ensemble cast, what had me looking forward to the movie the most was the story’s unforgettable women characters — all etched into the hearts of readers for different reasons — and the prospect of this ace director adapting them to screen. Mani Ratnam, to his credit, has created some of the most headstrong women characters in Tamil cinema — Divya (Revathi) from Mouna Raagam and Ok Kanmani’s Tara (Nithya Menen) immediately come to mind.

New Delhi, April 19 (Ians) Tamil superstar Vikram, who plays the 10th-century Chola prince Aditha Karikalan in the ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ movies (Part 2 is releasing on April 28), recalled how it was difficult to do action scenes and ride a horse at full gallop outfitted in heavy armour made with leather and wearing period jewellery.
In an interaction with the media in the Capital on Tuesday, Vikram said: “It is very rare for men to worry about hair, jewellery, ear rings and all. We will never envy the heroines again. Mani sir [the film’s director, Mani Ratnam] wanted everything to look real, so we wore leather armour, which bruised us when we were doing the stunts.
“And then, horse riding was tough for both Karthi and me as we have back problems. We had major issues for three months. ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ was not as easy as shooting for any other film.”

New Delhi, April 19 (Ians) As Mani Ratnam’s epic historical drama, ‘Ponniyin Selvan 2’, is all set to hit the big screen, the film’s entire cast, as is the usual practice, is busy promoting the film. In the process, however, Trisha and Jayam Ravi, who play key characters in the film, have lost their blue tick from their respective Twitter handles.
Well, it happened when they changed their Twitter handle names to their characters’ names. So, Jayam Ravi changed his handle name to Arunmozhi Varman, who became the famous Rajaraja I, and Trisha to Kundavai, elder sister of the future emperor.
Twitter, naturally, does not recognise these names, so the actors have ended up losing their prized blue ticks.
