When last we saw the title character of Mani Ratnam’s epic “Ponniyin Selvan” saga, the real-life prince who would expand the Chola empire from South India all the way to the Ganges in the north was…

” saga, the real-life prince who would expand the Chola empire from South India all the way to the Ganges in the north was drowning as he crossed from Lanka to India.

Krishnamurthy’s serialized story covered several characters in the 12th century Chola dynasty and in “Part Two,” the ailing emperor Sundara Chozha is kept almost captive in his palace by Nandini’s husband, commander Chinna Pazhuvettariyar , and his brother. The Pandyas eventually discover what audiences have already assumed: that Arunmozhi didn’t drown. Instead, he and his faithful sidekick Vallavaraiyan Vandiyadevan were rescued by a gray-haired woman called Oomai Rani or Mute Queen.

Exchanging fight scenes for song and dance, “Part Two” packs a lot of story into its 164-minute running time, with plenty of scheming as Nandini tries to have the emperor and his two sons killed the same night so that they won’t have time to be alerted. Her backstory is expanded to explain her actions, but some of the women from Part One, such as Princess Kundavai , get short shrift.
