Ko

The movie starts off with a bank robbery and Jeeva's breathtaking bike chase...This itself attracts everyone...Jeeva(Ashwin) is a sharp and smart photographer who stands against crimes and manages politicians whenever required and finally trap them on time by just a click!.Karthika(Renu) is an editor in the same press company (Dina Anjal).Piya(Saro) is a cute and bubbly girl who loves Ashwin and tries to propose him..but as usual u know, he loves the right person. Ajmal is a well wisher of people and tries to create a youth political party to serve people. Soon Jeeva(Ashwin) becomes a friend of him and helps him to come to politics. So Jeeva decides to take care of other bad politicians. Amidst all this, a love story and comedy scenes are incorporated.The climax is superb because of the unbelievable TWIST! The comedy scenes inside the press office are hilarious! The song "Ennamo Edho" ROCKS!.. Hats off to Harris Jayaraj again! The movie is a mixture of Love and Politics. A different and entertaining movie. Must Watch :)

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.

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.

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.

After Ayan, everyone has been eagerly anticipating for Ko since the teaser was released. K.V. Anand has done a wonderful job in his third film as a director with a full-fledged political thriller with adequate doses of romance and humour without deviating from the original story. It is not exactly a good-versus-bad theme here unlike most of other movies with political themes. But unexpected twists will keep the audience glued to their seats.

Jiiva as Ashwin excels in his role as a photographer. Karthika Nair marked her debut with a decent performance while Piaa Bajpai fulfills the requirements of her role well. The show stealer is undoubtedly Ajmal. His performance as a youth revolutionary leader is outstanding. Stalwarts like Prakashraj and Kota Srinivasa Rao played their characters with their usual finesse.

The highlight of the film is the cinematography. Richard M.Nathan did a wonderful job with the camera. Be it the fights or the songs, he shot the scenes with sheer brilliance. The locales of Norway and China are spellbinding and eye-catching, thanks to the cinematographer's efforts.

Harris Jayaraj did a superb job in Ayan and he repeated the magic in Ko as well. The BGM is apt for the scenes although it was a bit loud in certain parts. Anthony's editing is as usual, crisp and maintains the pace of the film well. Peter Hein's stunts are a treat for the action buffs. The songs are choreographed perfectly according to the mood of the songs. The nothing-great Gala Gala song does not live up to its pre-release build-up despite a host of well-known faces making cameo appearances.

In short, Ko is a brilliantly shot political thriller laced with the usual commercial elements. If Ayan showed us about smuggling activities, Ko is all about political revolution. Hats off to K.V. Anand for presenting us three different films with three different themes.
