Talk:Ponniyin Selvan: I

Proposed split
Proposal for a split or creation of a new page containing all the details of the production, origin, novel, characters, etc just like the article Baahubali (franchise) Wallflower2048|talk (talk) 10:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Semi-Protection
As large number of people edit the page without giving refrences, I like to propose a semi-protection to this Page

Moving the title
As the movie is a two part movie title from Ponniyin Selvan (2022 film) to Ponniyin Selvan: I should be distinct from part 1 page and part 2 page and also it should be easily identifiable. I request all the editors to follow the same, if you have diffrent opinion please feel free to talk here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laxmanthaletto (talk • contribs) 13:25, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

500 crore budget for both two parts?
Since both the parts are being shot back-to-back, it's likely that the stated budget is for both the parts combined. The oldest source I could find is DTNext from Jan 2020 but it doesn't clarify anything.

Sources like Indiaglitz and India Herald do say that it's for both parts while the "reliable" sources prefer keep be mum about it or even copy from Wikipedia.

Ping active editors in this area: Thoughts? -- Ab207 (talk) 14:31, 8 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Ab207 I suggest, that the article clearly attributes one source and says "X reported the budget of both parts to be 500 crore." Venkat TL (talk) 14:34, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Ponniyin Selvan final box office collection.
The film's final box office collection is now Rs 500-505 crores. Please do refer the sources now. Wjejdc3345 (talk) 12:50, 7 November 2022 (UTC)


 * @Wjejdc3345, 500-505 seems like biased numbers, while still some reliable sources claim the figures to be around 480+ so would be somewhere between 480 to 500 crore from a neutral stand and some figure lesser than that is definitely not possible going by the official sources and adhering to timelines as per day 39 of movie.

Please make the following suggested changes in the cast section of the page:

Nandini: please remove phrases “Veerapandiyan and Mandakini's biological daughter, Madhuranthakan's twin sister”. This has not been revealed in Ponniyin Selvan: I, and would constitute a spoiler for those who have not read the entire novel or not seen part II.

Mandakini: please remove the phrases “Madhuranthakan and Nandini's deaf and mute mother, Veerapandiyan's wife, Sundara Chola's love interest”. Same reason as above.

Azhwarkkadiyan Nambi: it has not been categorically revealed in the movie in part I that he is a spy working for the chief minister (such a mention in the plot section of the wikipedia page is also questionable) (though Vandiya Thevan is shown to wonder about that during the chariot ride in Lanka, and in the actual novel the readers are made aware by this point in the storyline that Azhwarkadiyan is a spy through other events that the film has omitted). The request to edit is to remove the reference that he is such a spy.

Madurantakan: please remove references to “foster son of Sembiyan Mahadevi and Gandaraditya Chola, biological son of Veerapandiyan and Mandakini”. These have not been revealed in Part I and constitute a spoiler.

Sendan Amudan: please remove references to Uttama Chola and “biological son of Sembiyan Mahadevi and Gandaraditya Chola” for the same reason.

Veerapandiyan: please remove the phrase “Nandini and Madhurantakan's father and Oomai Rani's husband.” as these are not revealed in part 1.

Karuthiruman: please remove the phrase “who helped Veerapandiyan and Mandakini“ for the same reason.

Note: I realize the challenges in providing character descriptions for a two-part movie at a time when only one part has been made publicly available and it’s based on a widely popular novel where several secrets are likely to get revealed in part 2. Perhaps you can put a spoiler alert prominently in the page or else have it describe only as much of the characters as clearly known in part 1 and go back and edit it once part 2 is released. Further, at this time (December 2022) when part 2 is not yet released, we don’t know how/if Maniratnam would spin or twist or deviate from the original novel in part 2 (unlikely he would do in a major way though), so my opinion is that it may also be premature now to put in descriptions of the characters as they were in the novel. 2600:8800:E080:10F:ECBB:C0E1:EE79:905F (talk) 22:08, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Difference of ponniyin selvan in books and movie
There are lot of changes in every scene of ponniyin selvan movie. That's why in movie it's mentioned as "based on Kalki's ponniyin selvan" however movie title is retained same. Changes I didn't mean by looks or shortened version for the sake movies, but change of scene itself, the characters in a scene/ a scene that is not part of book. For easy reference and better understanding, compare part 1 movie climax with last few chapters of ponniyin selvan volume 2. 115.96.72.148 (talk) 06:00, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected|Ponniyin Selvan: I|answered=yes} In the "plot" section, second paragraph, the below needs clarification as 2 her are coming, which are confusing:- "who manages to escape from them and meets Aditha Karikalan's sister Kundavai through Nandini, who orders him to bring her reply first to her before reaching Aditha Karikalan."

to proposed correct language:- "who manages to escape from them and meets Aditha Karikalan's sister Kundavai through Nandini, who orders him to bring her(Kundavai's) reply first to her(Nandini) before reaching Aditha Karikalan."

then, additional lines to be added as per important events in the movie:- " Chinna Pazhuvettaraiyar informs Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar about the escape of Vandiyedavan, also implicating that the signet ring that Vandiyedavan used to gain access to the royal palace must be given to him by Nandini. Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar confronts his wife Nandini, who convinces him that thanks to her, now they know what Aditha Karikalan knows and they will also get to know what Kundavai will reply to Aditha. Meanwhile, Nandini delivers some lankan coins to Ravi Dasan,  chief of a group of Pandya soldiers, and asks him to deliver the head of Ponniyin Selvan who is presently in Lanka."
