Ponniyin Selvan - 2 (PS-2) is unbearably unwatchable. We haven’t even been able to watch past first 90 minutes and its been a struggle. What an incoherent incompressible mess Mani Ratnam made it. PS-1 had the similar issues at smaller scale, but at least it kept the drama intact and it felt like it was making sense. The second part jumps around so much with so much plot/story/drama lost in the incoherence its exhausting. Really can’t fathom why Mani did not decide to make it a trilogy so the characters and story had breathing space and come alive on screen. The story scope is so large that two, two hour movies were not going to do justice to it.
