Q cinemas - screen 4 ( the most sexy screen in kochi ..must go )
when you are in the movie hall to watch a tamil film few things are taken for granted . a larger than life hero kicking the butts single handedly and all that gags followed . so when jeeva , a photo journalist does over the top jumpo ride to click a bunch of bank abductors you might suspect a fiasco in the offing but then soon director KV anand puts you back on track .
Students taking on politicos have been a topical matter for many directors and it's commercialized version includes maniratnam's slightly under rated aayitha ezhuthu and mahesh babu's telugu dud sainikudu but here things work out pretty well making the right noise .
Ko is smartly packed as despite having a huge political undercurrent with some on your face takes on present day politics which includes cash politics and the kota rao's illegal marriage to a teenager , it never goes on preachy mode and assures the viewer that it is essentially a commercial pot boiler and still you get connected to the core theme .
The screenplay of ko is well knitted with ample scope of every masala ingredient you say , whether it's the triangular love of jeeva , kudos for taking a role which is not a typically made for a tamil hero ,- pia delightfully viberant , and karthika nair - a breathe of fresh air amidst bleached mumbai imports , suspense elements , once in a while funny gigs or extremely beautifully canned songs stuffed amazingly with no compulsion. also writers have maintained the right tempo all over with most scenes in office being casual and chick and the bonding of all characters in ultra cool mode.
among the actors ajmal and pia scores .
ajmal has delivered a commendable job bringing the right emotions to the character while pia simply gives a lovable performance . jeeva does his job well while karthika sans any newbie syndrome is appreciable . prakash raj in a not so major role is obviously good .
Ko is lavishly shot in a huge canvas which brings on many wow moments . the election campaigning episode is remarkable while couple of songs offer breath taking visuals .
But then this one is also not free from flaws . one can't stop wondering whether all this young guns getting into politics and making changes is far from reality but anna hazzare movement is yet to dip in and we have seen how many of us took it so seriously giving space for a young revolution .
also how come these journos with there no time to sleep work hours manage to look all dolled up and draped in 6 yards in office ...yawn .
a barka dutt look ala preity zinta in lakshya would have been more apt but hey isn't it a tamil biggie and heroine looking her best is a given ...excused .
