Releasing on Netaji's birthday is a great move. Respect. The subject matter about Hoysala empire and Kadavarayas sounds fascinating. Hope they do justice to the history and don't just make a masala flick.

The cast is stellar! YG Mahendran, Saravana Subbiah... such powerful supporting actors. Ghibran's music is always a plus. But I hope the story is tight. The first part was good, expectations are high for the sequel.

As someone who loves historical epics, this is exciting. The 14th century setting with Mughal invasions is a complex period. I appreciate that they're tackling Tamil Nadu's history. Hope it gets a good release in other states too.

The delay was disappointing for Pongal, but if the film is better for it, then it's okay. Action Santosh doing stunts is a guarantee for quality. Just hoping the VFX matches the practical effects shown in the making video.

Rakshana Induchoodan is a great choice. Need more strong female characters in these historical war dramas. The making video shows a lot of effort, bas. Fingers crossed it all comes together on screen! 🤞
