Filmmaker Mani Ratnam's latest blockbuster Ponniyin Selvan I has contributed massively in aiding the recovery of the box office. It has been a fantastic year for Tamil cinema. All the pent-up demands of the lockdown drove the box office collections across the state, giving a much-needed respite to stakeholders.
Ponniyin Selvan I was a huge gamble of Mani Ratnam. It was not just the most ambitious film of the filmmaker but also the most expensive film in his career, spanning over four decades. Despite the high cost involved in making this, Ratnam retained his sober style of narration and didn't compromise his vision to make it look appealing to a wider audience. Result: Tamil audiences across the country and around the world appreciated his effort and intention by showing up in huge numbers at the cinemas. Even as there were complaints about the film's 'slow pace', it didn't stop the movie from breaking the box office records of previous blockbusters and creating new ones.

While Mani Ratnam’s period Ponniyin Selvan 1 and Hrithik Roshan-Saif Ali Khan’s crime drama Vikram Vedha arrived on the big screen on September 30, Chiranjeevi’s GodFather and Rashmika Mandanna-Amitabh Bachchan starrer Goodbye released last week.
PS 1, which features Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, and Trisha Krishnan in lead roles, is having a stellar run at the box office since day one and has now stormed past the Rs 400 crore globally.
