Ponner – Shankar: A Epic Spoiler….

A novel by a Veteran weaved to fit the screen was the expectation, but the whole thing has become a wrath spoiler.

The only soother is a return of epics to Tamil Cinema. Except for the Extavanza in sets nothing is special in the film. My opinion is only the supporting cast which includes Nazer, Nepoleon, Kushbu, Pon Vannan, Jayaram is good while all the lead roles played by Prasanth and the female leads are Yakkkkk….

The story which depicts the important events about “Lord Annanamar Swamy” who still is worshiped as God by the Kongu Vellalar community. Ponnar and Shankar, who became rulers of Ponni Valanadu in medieval Tamil Nadu, south India, were twin sons of a Gounder warrior caste couple, Nellian Kodan (or Kunru Udiyaan) and his wife Thamari. They are credited with saving their people from an invasion.

The original work by Dr. Karunanidhi has been spoiled by emphasizing unwanted heroism on prasanth. The costumes wore by the female leads in the film is no way related to Tamil culture. The costumes are just simply copied from “Jodha Akbar” and I don’t know why two ladies from alien land have been brought here to play very important roles that could have become an cultural idol. Those two don’t even shake their lips to suit Tamil words.

Many unwanted “Slow Motions” spread all over the film gives unwanted feeling and makes audience feel bored. Prasanth who has come back after a long gap must have chose someother film that would have suited him to show the Body he has built after many Gym work outs.

And finally for Thyagarajan, who is the director of this film, after Governments free Television scheme every household from Chennai to a small village are watching Star Movies, Movies Now, HBO and many other channels. So they know what Brave Heart is, what Apocalypto is, its better not to take a very good epic and spoil with a substance like this.
