K.V.Anand's "Ko" is an interesting political thriller which like his previous flick "Ayan" has loads of logical pothole submerged under a racy screenplay. The pace is so fast & riveting that its hard for anyone to even think about those flaws. Thus K.V.Anand has once again reiterated the fact that he is one of the best when it comes to handling a commercial plot.Wonder what all those who rejected this movie where thinking. Now they will be ruing their decision. Not Jiiva for this would turn a new leaf in his career. After this movie he would go one rung up , only that he should choose his movies intelligently.First half moves at a brisk pace though at certain instances screenplay lags a bit while second half is okay . The political satire in the second half is enjoyable while the climax looks a bit contrived. The song placements in the second half are ridiculous to put it mildly.Kudos to K.V.Anand & his team of scriptwriters for risking a commercial script without much heroism & managing to stick onto reality as much as possible.Jiiva does a neat job while Ajmal shines towards the end. Karthika doesn't have much to do while Piya Bajpai steals one & all's heart with a lovable enactment of a cute role.For Prakashraj his role is a cakewalk while Kota Srinivasa Rao would do such roles even in his sleep. The supporting cast is a mixed bag with certain people like Bose Venkat , Jagan & Sona doing a good job while certain others amateurish in their work.Technically the movie is excellent . The CG works are noteworthy especially in the bomb blast sequence. Richard Nathan's cinematography elevates the mood & pumps in energy into the script. The super slow- motion shots are brilliant & used astutely wherever required. The climax fight sequence is beautifully shot.Harris Jayaraj's background score is good in patches while on the whole average. "Enamo Aedho" is a chart-buster though it has the routine Harris Jayaraj feel to it. Other songs are mediocre.On the whole , "Ko" is a decent attempt at a commercial cinema where more than heroism the script rules.

Why not give a 10, I in fact loved the movie, not the technical stuff or the cast or the music or the story line. Over all, I liked it.Why shouldn't it be a copy, A movie, if it can be remade for the local audience to understand, reach, the script should be welcomed.There is a lot of dramatics in the last few reels, Im confused, how the director tried to match them on with the terrorist group.The song background aren't new, we have seen them a lot in new movies.Another major point on the success was, Vanna was releasing on the same days with a lot of hype and a dj party song was a killer from Vannam. But Ko's musics takes aways and nothing less than Vannam's killer.Jeeva, could have improvised on a mature character but his child like face kills it at some shots.Pia and Karthika looks silver screens at all times, cant take the eyes away on the frame they are.As a photographer the artist should have used a Nikon and none of his equipments were apt to the sceen, its just a camera in the hand than the professional equipment and some stupid tricks like the side lenses, well it isn't bad, but could have a better thought.Ajmal's big break and a very good adv for the film, hope he cont to perform such classic roles than the hero. In fact credit goes to him more than Jeeva at any point of time.Watch it, Enjoy it. Ko

This film KO as acclaimed by other reviewers as a good film by Anand K.V. is a copy cat Indian version of a best US film "STATE OF PLAY" by Kevin Macdonald , staring Russell Crowe .Anand K.V killed the story , logics and other main features of State of play and delivered an complete CLUMSY unlogical masala tamil film.As said by other reviewers Anand.K.v isn't an brilliant director , he is yet another stupid director of tamil industry , who copies the story from Hollywood and changes it for Indian style and proclaims it as his own story which he had in his mind for last 10 years or so.KO is yet another clumsy tamil version of a good Hollywood film.

The word KO means a leader or king in,I wonder why the director kept this title for the film.I say it for sure that Tamil cinema lost a good title.Moreover it is an unofficial remake of state of play.even after remaking the film the director of the film K.V.Anand did'n say anything about state of play,at least he could have mentioned it in any TV shows, like what director myskin did for yutham sei.The first scene of the film was too bad that the robbers were looking like some idiotic goons who don't know even how to handle a pistol.They were very powerful that they even break very hard glasses with their shoes(what a man).Hero of the film Jeeva who gave remarkable performances throughout his career gave even a better performance which was the only good aspect of the film.Entry of new face Kaarthiga(daughter of Raadha)is a great disaster for Tamil cinema,she don't know even how to act or dance.For every scene she gives same reaction.There were many unwanted comedies which were not needed for the film which made me shout at the theater.In the climax even after pulling the trigger of the bomb it waits for jeeva to jump out and then he lands safely without any fractures(once again , What a man).I am sure that harris jayaraj (the one who thinks himself as hans zimmer) has stolen the title theme from wrestlemania theme !!!!!please get out of our country you filthy copycat.I pray to god to give a good movie taste for tamil audience.
