Sunday WatchAlong: Ponniyin Selvan 1! 7am Chicago Time on Prime!

Posted on by

Happy Sunday! I am so excited to watch this with you, I’m even willing to wake up super early.

Ponniyin Selvan! I HIGHLY recommend reading my spoiler summary before/while watching it. It is supes complicated.

At 7am Chicago time, I will be putting up a “And PLAY” comment and we will all comment along from there.

  5. Okay, I love our hero as a character. He’s a trickster and a liar and a spy and a thief, but ultimately he is also loyal to the death to the Chola dynasty. And that’s the thing the Chola enemies never quite understand.

  9. Sheesh, Vikram! Her life isn’t all about you! Maybe she made decisions unrelated to her feelings for you and you can’t blame her or yourself for them.

  10. Okay, so now Lanka has the royal army that has been ordered by Aish to capture the prince and drag him home, the Pandya rebels who want to kill the prince, the Lankan army who want to kill the prince, and Mystery Elephant Lady and our Protagonist who want to save him. This island is getting crowded.

  13. Oh, did you catch the line earlier about “my brother gave you his sword and told you to visit our sister?” And now these comments about turbans and crowns. The Bros totally know this is the guy for their sister.

  14. This is a little confusing. The prince is determined to give himself up to the prison ship because of stupid Dharma and following Dad’s orders. Everyone around him is determined to fight to keep him from being arrested. So the prince tricked our hero into trying on his clothes, and then ran off leaving everyone to think our hero is him who he rides an elephant to give himself up for capture. And it’s working in that the Pandya’s are about to try to kill our hero thinking he is the prince.

  17. I guess another group of Pandyas is waiting on the beach to take over the prison ship in case the first group fails to kill the prince before he reaches the ship?

  18. The younger prince is gonna give himself up to save our hero??? I like that decision for him as a person, but it’s the kind of stupid short sighted move Trisha would never do. Very bad thing to do as a royal.

  19. I just figured out how we can tell the Pandyas apart from everyone else! They are the only ones who never wear shirts. Phew, that makes life easier.

  22. We definitely need to watch this again at night. This scene is so dark and our living room is BRIGHT! But I think it would be spectacular at night.

      • Happy to hear!! We were ROBBED!! If this ends up changing the jury system, then it will be counted as a win, but history was made anyway. And so glad everyone loves the song!
