Grandeur, visual graphics, heavy starcast and high quality background score have become basic prerequisites for big scale films in India. The taste of the audience has gone to the next level and they are expecting high quality in all the parameters especially when it comes to big ticket films.
Mani Ratnam is coming up with Ponniyin Selvan-1 and the trailer of it is on par with the grandeur of Bahubali.But will the content be that impacting?
It is indeed based on the most famous Tamil novel by Kalki of yester decades which is packed with the elements like love, betrayal and power games.
Audience hardly likes History. All that they need is an emotional fiction on screen. The story and its characters are completely unfamiliar to Telugu audiences.
Moreover there are so many characters to be justified at the end. Though this is only the first part of the franchise, audiences want something beyond Bahubali for sure in comparison.
Will Mani Ratnam achieve that feat is a big question mark. The film has big names like AR Rehman and Aishwarya Rai associated with this along with Karthi, Vikram, Prakash Raj, Trisha and others.
