Although the film performed well at the box office, it could not match the success of the first instalment. Mani Ratnam and Subhaskaran co-produced the period drama. Despite having a fantastic cast, Ponniyin Selvan 2 did not earn as much as predicted. The makers predicted that PS-2 would surpass the Rs 300 crore mark. The film could only manage to make around Rs 215.5 crore gross at the domestic box office.

Despite the film not being as successful as its first part, it was still enjoyed by the Tamil-speaking audience. The story of the film explores the relationship between Aaditha Karikalan (Vikram) and Nandini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) and also shows the ongoing power struggle over succession for the Chola dynasty. The second part also focuses on Arulmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi) transformation into Rajaraja I, who was known as the revered king of the Chola dynasty.
