Ponniyil Selvan 2 (PS2) Review

Image
 "The lies that the kings tell is called Politics" as Nandhini says with authenticity, it drives us back to the mighty Chola empire of power, vengeance, thrown, and thus the bloodshed. The film is one of the stellar parades of the most talented artists of Indian cinema in terms of both on-screen performances and off-screen technicality. The story of PS 2 has given an equitable impact on each leading character like Aditya Karikalan, Nandhini, Kundavai, Arul Mozhi and Vallavadevan. At the same time, the emotional hook of the film is not the war for the thrown but the troubled past and complex romance of Nandhini and Aditya Karikalan. All the characters were at their best in the hands of dedicated actors like Vikram, Aishwarya rai bachan, Karthi, Jayam Ravi and Trisha. The Beauty. PS2 can be considered as a reflection of Might, with period splendour. Great Palaces, Brave Warfare,  Gorgeous women, and rich culture, are all represented as eulogized enigmas of the Chola kingdom. Ac...

 As long as the women are getting pathetically judged, slut-shamed, commodified, assaulted, and sex-rated in our society based on their breast size, the concept of Body politics is something that need to be discussed.
