Kirubhakar Purushothaman from The Indian Express rated this movie 4 stars out of 5 stars and said: “It will take another minute for someone to arise from Tamil cinema to make perhaps a series that would do more justice to the sprawling novel, but till then we have Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan.“
Saibal Chatterjee from NDTV rated this movie 4 stars out of 5 stars and said “Ponniyin Selvan-2 completes what PS-1 set out to create – a screen version of a daunting text. The result is a cinematic work of monumental proportions, an epic that looks primed to stand the test of time.“
