PONNIYIN SELVAN: 1 (“PS1”)  is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language epic historical action drama film directed by Mani Ratnam.

“The casting is more or less spot on. Karthi is terrific as the playful Vandhiyathevan, and along with Jayaram, who plays the spy Alwarkadiyan, infuses humour into the largely serious proceedings.” (The Times of India)

“AR Rahman brings out his A-game in yet another collaboration with Mani Ratnam.” (Hindustan Times)

“Mani Ratnam summons the spirit of Kurosawa, but also his own long dormant powers in marrying the mythic and the intimate, the arthouse and the commercial.” (Film Companion)
