Filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s movie Ponniyin Selvan 2 has made a massive opening at the box office, grossing over ₹150 crore in just three days worldwide.
In the US, the movie has collected $3.6 million (approximately ₹29 crore) in its first weekend, as per trade sources.
The second part in the Ponniyin Selvan franchise is centred on the return of Arunmozhi Varman and Nandini taking revenge on the Cholas.

While trade experts predict that Ponniyin Selvan 2 may not collect as much as the first part at the box office, the makers have already made heavy profits from PS1.

The film did not have early morning shows in Tamil Nadu on release day, affecting opening day numbers, due to a court case.
Despite these challenges, the franchise's first part grossed over ₹500 crore globally during its theatrical run, making it the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time in Tamil Nadu.
