From the time of announcement of Ponniyin Selvan I, there was a buzz around this movie and all us were waiting for it to hit the screens. It did on Sep 30 and we happen to watch FDSS - First Day Second Show :) Ponniyin Selvan is a historic fiction Tamil novel read by most of us during our teens or early twenties. So it easily makes an evergreen mark in us. While reading it we imagine the the scenes, give face to the characters and adore the story. Hence the mere thought of the novel coming alive in cinema fascinates us. Thus when the news of Maniratnam making Ponniyin Selvan in two parts floated, all of us were eagerly waiting for Sep 30. The pre release events and interviews from the makers almost prepared for a movie that is Director Maniratnam's adaptation of the novel. Never had imagined Maniratnam was also a fan of Ponniyin Selvan like us and also decided to film it. Favorite novel getting filmed by your favorite Director is a double excitement. Maker of classics like Nayakan
