Legendary Tamil filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s dream project, the historical epic drama, Ponniyin Selvan 2, released in cinemas on Friday to decent reviews. Especially, Tamil movie lovers and Kalki’s Ponniyin Selvan novel fans are thronging cinema theaters in large numbers to watch this magnum opus.

The PS2 euphoria in North America is almost the same as that of Tamil Nadu. After grossing a solid $705K from the Thursday night premieres, the film has surpassed the $1 million milestone in style on Friday. Until 11 AM EST, the movie amassed a whopping $646K from 416 locations across North America, taking its latest total to $1.35M.

Going by the latest trend, PS2 is almost certain to cross the $3M mark by the end of its first weekend at the North American box office. Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karthi and Jayam Ravi have given splendid performance. AR Rahman’s blazing soundtrack is one of the major highlights of this ambitious project.
