After a wait of over 30 years, Mani Ratnam fulfilled his dream of bringing the best-selling novel series by Kalki Krishnamurthy, Ponniyin Selvan, to the big screen. With a star-studded cast of Chiyaan Vikram, Karthi Sivakumar, Jayam Ravi, Trisha Krishnan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and many other prominent actors, the movie hit the theatres on 30 September 2022. The film received praise worldwide, while some called the narration slow and disengaging. Despite the mixed response, Ponniyin Selvan-I garnered collections the makers would be proud of.
The post-theatrical rights of the historical period drama have been acquired by the OTT giant Amazon Prime Video. While reports suggest Ponniyin Selvan-I has locked its OTT release date in the first week of November, the makers might consider its digital premiere only eight weeks, or two months, after its theatrical release. This brings us to the conclusion that we can expect PS-I during the last week of November to release on OTT.
