Here is the breakdown of Ponniyin Selvan 2 Total Worlwide Collections

Comparison with PS1:

While PS2 performed good at the box office, it fell short of the benchmarks set by PS1. The first became a huge hit and industry hit in Tamilnadu and got good appeal across India, whereas PS2 saw a slight dip, especially in non-Tamil-speaking regions. Despite a direct Hindi release, the numbers from North India were relatively lower compared to the first part.

Audience and Critical Reception:

The film received positive reviews for its visual grandeur, powerful performances, and Mani Ratnam’s direction. However, some felt the second part lacked the same level of intrigue and emotional depth as the first installment. Nevertheless, PS2 maintained a stronghold in Tamil Nadu and key international markets.
