I finished watching Ponniyin Selvan I and I must say Mani Ratnam has once again nailed in uplifting female narratives in his stories. The women in his films have always had a cryptic humanity, a grey area where feminine beauty and empathy collide with masculine shrewdness or bravery.
The Queen of Pazhuvur, wife of Lord Chieftain Paravutheyyar, Nandini Devi, born of Vira Pandiyan and his noble wife Mandakini Devi or Oomai Rani, has everything and then absolutely nothing in her. Her beauty begets envy even from an apsara princess Kundavai herself, and yet most people cannot see beyond her outer beauty. In her own husband's words, "her beauty veils her intelligence". She is hungry for revenge, yet another attempt of clutching at the ends of the burnt fabric of Pandyan legacy. She manipulates all men who fall prey to her beauty, however her lust for the great Chola throne has no real basis. Queen in her own right who made her way into royal compounds where from she was unfairly ousted even before stepping in, and yet hollow shell of a woman with a copper heart unlike the gold her husband adorns her in. A quiet vaishnavitic rebel sitting in the lair of ruthless shaivites.
Aishwarya has eyes that speak even as she herself does not. And yet her Nandini has near emotionless eyes, apart from the scene where her lust for the throne is shown to make her eyes gleam for a brief moment, as if she was second away for salivating. Nandini is fascinating, and yet, much like Aditya Karikalan, her former lover, pitiful.
The crown has weight and the only rightful can bear it.
