Ilaiyor Soodar

Youth won't adorn themselves with you,

Nor bangled lasses pluck and gather you,

The bard won't gently bend your stem

With the bow of his harp to pluck and wear you,

Nor will the songstress sport you in her hair,

Why do you still bloom in this Ollaiyur, O Jasmine?

I recently started reading Ponniyin Selvan and am only through book 1 till now. But my question is why didn't the movie Madhurantakan looked like the babygirl he is in the books?? 😭

In the beginning of PS2 when young Aditha goes to war, Veera Raja Veera song starts playing. I mean the start of the song -- the Kaaneero part. And years later when he's dead and he is brought back to Tanjai, the same Kaaneero part of the song is playing.

That part of the song signifying both young Aditha first going to war vs Aditha being free from his internal guilt war.

I'm deceased thank you ARR OOF.

nothing just thinking about how a ponniyan selvan movie was not just mani ratnam’s dream but also the dream of so many that came before him and how kollywood has finally put the story on screen after 70 years…

Thani Oruvan 2 is happening!!!

One of Jayam's Ravi's best work (besides Ponniyin Selvan of course!) was Thani Oruvan. I am so glad that Nayanthara is coming back for the sequel since most of the times directors change the lead actress for sequels which is wrong on so many levels. Would be interesting to see who they bring for the role of the villain as Arvind Swamy was fantastic in the original. Also, looking forward to some great songs as the music was amazing in the last album.

Whoever did the costumes and jewelry for Ponniyin Selvan was top-notch and made great choices. 

Arulmozhi and his brother Aditya wear double tiger claw pendants. Besides being important to signify courage and bravery, it’s also particularly appropriate because they are princes of a dynasty that uses the tiger as its symbol. (You can see the red Chozha flag with its pouncing tiger in many scenes.) Aditya, who we almost always see in his armor, also has the tiger worked into that very same armor where the leather protects his upper legs. Fur also fringes his shoulder pads, again evoking a tiger for Aditya whose personality is the most focused on physical might and combat. 

Madhurantaka, brought up as a devotee of Shiva, wears garlands of rudraksha beads interspersed with gold. While other characters wear them as well, he wears the most, then tears them all from his chest in a scene where he verbally and symbolically rejects the identity of a devotee, declaring his ambition for the throne and saying he was never interested in leading a life devoted to Shiva to begin with. (I’m not sure if I’m remembering correctly, but I think he also wears a lot of white when we first see him on screen, mirroring the white worn by men and women associated with temple for its purity. It would be interesting if he stops wearing white completely in the second part of the film.)

While the Chozha characters wear gold, Ravidasan and the rest of the Pandyas are all wearing silver. The only gems they have are on their slain king’s sword, and the beads they wear look to be made of natural materials rather than precious metals. Along with the fact that they now must live in the forest, the dull silver jewelry and how they dress is a strong visual indicator of their status compared to the Chozhas. They’re also all wearing black and dark red. Beyond visually matching the image of Kottravai with smeared blood for her, the heavy amount of black in the Pandya’s clothing mirrors how they have remained in the shadows, planning to murder a Chozha prince in revenge. It’s like a symbol of ill will and matches the fact that Ravidasan is one of our antagonists for the first movie.

The great hair choices in this movie are difficult for me to talk about because I’m not sure I can articulate it very well, (let alone completely), but I think they also fit each character very well. In Arulmozhi’s first appearance, his hair is oiled and combed back around his head in a nice, controlled and neat style. But when we first see his brother Aditya, his hair is unbound and flowing around him. It’s more energetic and matches his passion for fighting and the intensity of the anger and heartbreak that he feels, which itself feeds in to his need to fight to distract himself. Even if both brothers change their hair during the movie--of course Arulmozhi’s is more unkept while he’s actually fighting--how it appears in their first scenes is important in establishing the audience’s impression. 

Ravidasan also has a lot of intensity and motivation for fighting, and he shares that long, loose hair with Aditya, but it’s also messier. (I don’t think he ever ties it back or binds it up in any way?) He and the other Pandyas have separated themselves from the rest of civilization to live in the forest, and they’re still focused on the calamity of the death of their king and destruction of their rule. The fact that Ravidasan has probably not conditioned or oiled his hair since the day his king was killed--and has focused purely on revenge and a will to fight since then--perfectly matches how the team of Ponniyin Selvan chose to style his hair. 

Finally, the very long and neat hair of Oomai Rani combines with the white color palette they gave her to build a very specific impression of her character. It’s not the same as the reason Aditya and Ravidasan have unbound and more wild hair than other characters either. (Other men have long hair as well but it’s generally combed back or something like that.) Again, I have not read Ponniyin Selvan, but her appearance plus the fact that she has mysteriously shown up out of nowhere twice to save Arulmozhi made me think of the quality of shakti. I’m not sure how else to talk about it.
