Ko

As someone who watches a lot of what Hollywood has to offer, I often find myself complaining about most of the Indian films I watch. Often its about the unreal elements, hallow characters, superficiality, lack of depth in the story, and just the overall quality. But then there are often films like 'Ko' that come around and shut me right up.

'Ko' is one of the best political thrillers Tamil Cinema has had to offer since Mudhalvan. Every element of this film, starting from the opening credits is high end and shows the director's sensibility. Anand gives us a complete film done to perfection. 'Ko' has a great story, that is very eventful and the screenplay is perfect, and well-suited. Jiiva does an amazing job and is very convincing, as is Ameer, which allows for one of the best twists.

The music is well scored, and Karthika is not too bad as the new-comer. But the character we all truly fall in love with is that played by Piaa Bajpai, who's adorable and charming and does complete justice to her purpose in the film. I don't have a single complaint about this film, and feel like films like these, that are smart and sophisticated, pave way for a new era of Indian cinema. This time, truly making it an art rather than a money collector.

If you're someone who's sick of mainstream films stuck in their loop for decades now, then don't miss this film. It's sure to leave you satisfied and wanting more.

Expectations of the film was high. Successful director, Production house with wide reach, protagonist is a photographer(a rare phenomenon), great trailer song. But that's the end of the positives. Film could not deliver anything more on the show day. It is the same old story : "Hero fights the bad guys all by himself and saves the world" Couple this formula with unrealistic situations( which,by the way, are abundant in this film), an heroine who cant "act". Moreover few songs were just "inserted" into the plot.They just didn't fit in.

Overall a normal movie pictured in a good way.Definitely watchable.But highly overrated.

Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were so good. The 1st half in the movie was so interesting and thrilling. The 2nd half in the lagged and bored a lot at some scenes. Good Movie.

The reason why the story of KO feels to be so strong comparing to other aspects of the film is that, the story seems more similar to Kevin MacDonald's 2009 block buster, STATE OF PLAY, starring Russell Crowe and Ben Afflect. I feel that Ko is the same story of SOP, with a screenplay to suit tamil cinema. Jeeva plays the role of Russell Crowe while Ajmal takes Ben Affleck's. The saddest part is that having the original movie released a couple of years back , the desi director couldn't improvise the screenplay. I feel for people who haven't seen SOP, would find KO impressive, others who have seen SOP would have a Stomach Burn, as i did. More drawbacks, heroine who doesn't know to act, doesn't know to dance. Lame music by the ace music director, and irrelevant bgm throughout the movie.

well...to speak about the script...it has got most of the grasp power...honestly trust me ...whn i went to c this movie and asked reviews from people i heard them saying this movie is 100 times better than ayan and u will notice an unexpectd twist..with this excitement i went...i was blank in mind when i was seeing.but at the 20th minute of the movie i predicted almost the entire story..i can withstand all the comments given by users and all ppl..except for one status updated by some dumbass which said KV ANAND IS THE GUY TO BEAT MANI RATNAM AND SHANKAR..wat the F ..he can overcome shankar but never mani...but i would like to give more credits to screenplay and song locations..and u would notice in the climax the greatest fun where a number of land mines fall from a cupboard and nothing blows..and hero escape even after stamping it and he takes minimum of 4 seconds to escape from the blast.even though these wont be considered and these r of primary importance in a tamil cinema...guys if u wanna enjoy an extreme commercial go ahead get a popcorn and enjoy .
