Plot

the film is a direct sequel to its predecessor. For more information on the predecessor's plot, see Ponniyin Selvan: I.

A young Nandini and Aditha Karikalan's budding romance is discouraged by princess Kundavai and Sembiyan Mahadevi, who consequently expel Nandini and her foster family from the kingdom. Nandini is said to have subsequently taken in by Veerapandiyan, the Pandya ruler.

Presently, Arulmozhi Varman alias Ponniyin Selvan's presumed death disheartens the empire; Parthibendran Pallavan meets with Nandini on the coast and she manipulates him to misdirect Aditha Karikalan to Kadambur for the apparent well-being of the empire. Ravidasan and other members of Pandya Aabathudavigal wish to make sure that Ponniyin Selvan is dead. Vallavaraiyan Vandiyadevan and Poonguzhali row with a survived and severly ill Ponniyin Selvan, who recollects being rescued by Oomai Rani from being drowned in the sea. They chance upon Azhwarkadiyan Nambi and Sendhan Amudhan, who suggests rushing Ponniyin Selvan to Buddhist monks for treatment. They see Ravidasan and his fellow perpetrators approaching and hence, Vandiyadevan misdirects them and gets himself seized. Elsewhere, Madhurantakan proclaims himself as successor to the throne, receives support from Shivan Adiyars and allies with Khottiga, Rashtrakuta king, who desires to avenge being defeated by Aditha Karikalan in a battle, by marrying his daughter.

Nandini, Ravidasan and others conspire to assassinate Aditha Karikalan, Sundara Chozhar and Ponniyin Selvan at the same time and Nandini divulges that she plans to kill Aditha Karikalan in Kadambur, where he would be coming; the captured Vandiyadevan, pretending to be unconscious, hears this. Later he discloses to Nandini that he had seen Oomai Rani, who resembles her and is apparently her mother; in return, Nandini spares Vandiyadevan from death. Nambi disguises himself and rescues Vandiyadevan, who rushes to meet Kundavai and notifies her of Ponniyin Selvan's existence; she professes her feelings for him. Nambi meanwhile notifies Aditha Karikalan that Ponniyin Selvan is alive; both Kundavai and Aditha Karikalan hurry to the Viharam, where Ponniyin Selvan is being cured. Vandiyadevan relays to Aditha Karikalan that Nandini intends to assassinate him in Kadambur and requests him to cancel his decision of going there but he discards him and commands Vandiyadevan not to come after him. Ponniyin Selvan tells Kundavai that Oomai Rani, his savior, bears a resemblance to Nandini. Remembering that her father was disturbed after getting to see Nandini for the first time, Kundavai suspects that he is aware of who Oomai Rani is.

She journeys to Thanjavur and confronts Sundara Chozhar, who reveals to her that he had met Mandakini aka Oomai Rani as a young man in Lanka while being chased by the Pandyas and was in a relationship with her before departing to his kingdom and getting married to Vanavan Mahadevi. He tried to get back to her but she was presumed to be dead after drowning. Kundavai suspects that Nandini might be her half-sister and asks Sembiyan Mahadevi if she was apprehensive of Nandini and Aditha Karikalan's relationship because of this; however, Sembiyan Mahadevi tells Kundavai that Mandakini was pregnant with Nandini, nearly two years after Sundara Chozhar's marriage to Vanavan Mahadevi, revealing that Nandini is not Kundavai's half-sister, relieving her. Meanwhile, the Pandyas become aware of Ponniyin Selvan's existence and plot to murder him at the Viharam but Ponniyin Selvan thwarts their attempts. Poonguzhali and Sendhan Amudhan enter Thanjavur's fort, to which the Pandyas gain access; Mandakini sees this and follows them while Poonguzhali sees Mandarin and follows her. Vaanathi's uncle Periya Velar lays siege to the fort over Ponniyin Selvan's death and indulges in a conflict with Chinna Pazhuvettaraiyar, the fort's commander-in-chief, causing a frightened Madhurantakan to escape through a tunnel and take refuge at the Rashtrakutas'. Ponniyin Selvan arrives with Vaanathi at the fort, forging peace between the two armies.

Poonghuzhali, having seen the Pandyas, alerts Chinna Pazhuvettaraiyar of their infiltration. Meanwhile, in Kadambur, Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar and the other kings propose dividing the kingdom between him and Madhurantakan but Aditha Karikalan opposes and agrees to let go of the kingdom in favour of Madhuranthakan, if he will be allowed to keep his army and conquer lands to the north. Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar departs to Thanjavur for relaying the news to Madhurantakan but Karuthiruman, a rowing man who assisted the Pandyas in Lanka, notifies him of Nandini and the Pandyas' conspiracy to assassinate Aditha Karikalan in Kadambur. Intending to save Aditha Karikalan, he rushes back to Kadambur while the Pandyas also intrude Kadambur through a tunnel, which Vandiyadevan also goes through to rescue Aditha Karikalan. Mandakini makes her way to Sundara Chozhar but dies after taking an arrow, which was intended for him; Ponniyin Selvan, hearing their screams, gets there, subdues the Pandya assassins and kills them. In Kadambur, Aditha Karikalan meets with Nandini and requests her to kill him, hoping that it can cool her rage; despite not being able to bring herself to stab him, Nandini finally gives in and stabs him to death; the Pandyas rush her out of Kadambur safely. Meanwhile, Vandiyadevan and Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar, who try to rescue Aditha Karikalan, are knocked unconscious by the Pandyas, who take Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar with them away.

After gaining his consciousness, Vandiyadevan mourns Aditha Karikalan's death and takes his corpse to Parthibendra Pallavan and the other kings, who accuse him of murder; Aditha Karikalan's maternal grandfather Thirukovalur Malaiyaman seizes Vandiyadevan and Kadambur's king Sambuvarayar, suspecting them of the murder. Aditha Karikalan's corpse is brought to Thanjavur, where Sundara Chozhar, his family and the public lament his death. On a ship, Karuthiruman, who is apprehended by the celebrating Pandyas, reveals to a restless Nandini that her father is Veerapandiyan, who assaulted Mandakini and impregnated her, following Sundara Chozhar's trail; this was the reason why he later adopted and raised Nandini. When Ravidasan agrees with Karuthiruman, Nandini, out of guilt, drowns herself in Ponni, leaving a message for her husband Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar, who she believes is the only one to have shown real affection and love towards her. Nambi tells Chinna Pazhuvettaraiyar about Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar's location and he is consequently freed from the Pandyas. While Vandiyadevan is being tried in Sundara Chozhar's court, Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar returns and discloses the truth. Meanwhile, Parthibendran presumes Ponniyin Selvan to be the mastermind behind Aditha Karikalan's death and allies with the Rashtrakutas and other rival kingdoms to invade the Chola empire to avenge Aditha Karikalan's death. Sundara Chozhar is informed of this and lets Vandiyadevan assist Ponniyin Selvan in the forthcoming battle.

Madhurantankan repudiates to fight against his motherland and sides with Ponniyin Selvan, assisting him in the battle. The Cholas emerge victorious. Later, Sundara Chozhar decides to make Arulmozhi the crown prince, but on the day of coronation, he proposes crowning Madhurantakan, who adopts the name Uttama Chola. The epilogue reveals that Vandiyadevan and Ponniyin Selvan headed extensive conquests under Uttama Chola's reign and after his death, Ponniyin Selvan inherited the throne as Rajaraja Chola while the Pandyas were captured and punished.
