In yet another scene, portraying a heated face-off between Nandini and the Chola princess Kundavai (Trisha), we see how their sartorial elegance (ornate silk clothes, Kundavai’s top knot bun and Nandini’s andal kondai or side hair bun) add to the tension between the characters, albeit in a subtle manner.Īditha Karikalan (Vikram)’s dark armour with engravings of the tiger emblem adds to his rugged and majestic persona, while Jayam Ravi’s Arulmozhi is bedecked in silk outfits with gold borders and gold ornaments, reasserting his position as the prince who can win hearts in the blink of an eye. For instance, the dynamic between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s deceitful Nandini and her husband, an overly affectionate Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar (Sarath Kumar), is mirrored in a scene when she asserts the latter to unhook her chain. Instead, PS-1 lends layers to the plot and the characters. Nor does it take the ‘grandeur for grandeur’s sake’ approach, as is often the case with films in the same genre. The historical drama does not use exquisite jewels and costumes for an ostentatious flare-up.
