PS 1 box office: Mani Ratnam’s masterpiece earns more than $400 million worldwide
The big-budget epic movie Ponniyin Selvan 1 from Mani Ratnam is now having a dream run at the box office. It has broken the 400 crore club globally and, according to trade sources, will easily make another 120 crore to bring its lifetime gross to above 500 crore. Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada versions of the movie were released in theatres all over the world.
Arulmozhivarman (Ponniyin Selvan), who would later become Chola Emperor Rajaraja I, is depicted in PS 1 as a young man (947–1014). Arulmozhivarman is played by Jayam Ravi in the movie, and other prominent characters include Vikram, Karthi, Trisha, and Aishwarya Rai.
On Tuesday, industry observer Ramesh Bala tweeted that PS 1 had earned 400 crore. The movie has surpassed Rajinikanth’s 2.0 to become the all-time biggest grossing Tamil movie in the US.
PS 1 is anticipated to continue its great run in theatres till Diwali, according to dependable trade sources. During the duration of its run over the following few weeks, it is anticipated to make an additional 120 crore rupees.
Over the weekend, PS 1’s gross in Tamil Nadu exceeded 150 crore rupees. It is currently the second-highest grossing movie in the state, trailing only Vikram, a movie starring Kamal Haasan that made almost 190 crore.
After a decade, the movie marked Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s return to Tamil cinema. In addition to portraying Queen Nandini, Aishwarya also briefly appears as her deaf mother Mandakini Devi. At the time of its debut, Aishwarya’s performance greatly impressed both viewers and critics.
In a recent interview, Mani Ratnam stated that the sequel to the franchise will hit theatres in another six to nine months and that the crew is now working on post-production.

Kareena Kapoor says ‘Taimur probably doesn’t even know all the drama’ that erupted around his name
Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan welcomed their elder son Taimur in December 2016. After the row, Saif had even suggested renaming Taimur.
Actor Kareena Kapoor has opened up about the controversy around the name of her elder son Taimur Ali Khan. MissMalini Showbiz posted a video on Instagram in which the actor shared how the row affected her. She also added that her husband-actor Saif Ali Khan “was very relaxed and calm about it”. She also recalled her grandfather Raj Kapoor’s advice on how to react when people talk about celebrities.

Kareena recalls Raj Kapoor’s advice
Kareena said that he had told her that if people are “talking about you, good or bad, they are talking about you, otherwise why would they talk”. Raj Kapoor had added that that she has to take it in her stride “if you want to be a superstar otherwise this place isn’t for you”. He advised her to have “patthar ka dil (be strong)”.
Kareena talks about row around Taimur’s name
Kareena said, “Of course, it affected me that people were talking about his name. He probably doesn’t even know that there was a whole drama and now suddenly everybody if like, ‘Ok whatever’. But he also got a lot of love for the fact that people were so interested in him. I was like, ‘But why? Because you don’t even know him, he is so small’. So I feel that now he will slowly understand and is understanding the whole culture of the fact that people follow him or he is being clicked.”
Kareena shares what Saif had told her
She added, “But I have to obviously keep reminding him that, ‘It’s important that you do something, your parents have done something.’ So he has figured it out slowly and I took that in my stride. In fact, Saif was very relaxed and calm also about it. He was like, ‘We need to be calm and we need to be sure.’ So I’m happy we had each other to discuss that. That’s also the reason why I share a lot on Instagram but yet I don’t share a lot on Instagram. I’m happy to be accessible to my fans for what they need to see. But there’s also a side because of everything I’ve been through I’m always gonna be a little away.”
Row around Taimur’s name
Taimur was born in Dcember 2016 and when his parents decided his name there was an uproar. The decision attracted much controversy, with Saif even suggesting at one point that he was open to renaming the boy. Kareena had a few years ago said that a prominent film industry personality rudely told her that she’d made a mistake by naming her child Taimur. In 2017, Saif told Mumbai Mirror that he was aware of why people were upset. Many drew a connection to the Turkish invader Timur. Saif and Kareena have two sons–Tamir and Jehangir Ali Khan (Jeh), born in 2021.
