Ko: A Well read Political Drama…


Ko: A Well read Political Drama…

First of all a very big Salam to K.V.Anand & Subha for bringing back a Political flavored story with a needed slices of action and comedy which today’s audience need. After Mudhalvan becoming a Hit there were very less political dramas those did a show in the box office. Though Mani Rathnam’s “Ayutha Ezhuthu” had a very good star cast and youthful flavor it did not do well in the box office.

This film KO has many twists and turns all around the script which makes the audience keep guessing till the end. Jeeva has once again proved that he is a Director’s actor. (A Sure Miss for Simbu). Every single cast in the film has a role to play with the story that’s really a worthy and healthy thing for casting in tamil cinema.

Karthika the female lead in the film is really the Female Lead of the film. Piaa Bajpai who resembles the role of Laila in Mudhalvan has a lead to catch with the script. Prakash Raj and Kotta Srinivasa Rao have played a role which has the shades of the real life politician. Especially when Prakash Raj handles the press, wow what an acting.

And after everything there are no words to say about Ajmal brilliant work. He really has his innings in the tinsel world after this.

Now the real hero K.V.Anand brilliant, His work on character design excels as usual, I personally became fan of the villain role played by Prithviraj in “Kana Kandein” that surprise travels till Ko. Directing a Political drama touching many current issues like money for vote, etc,. Suba and K.V duo rocks again.

The only flaw that we could feel is a bit drag in the screenplay and the placement of two songs in the second half. The technical part of the film has no comments to be told.

And at last please do watch the film.

Ponner – Shankar: A Epic Spoiler….


A novel by a Veteran weaved to fit the screen was the expectation, but the whole thing has become a wrath spoiler.

The only soother is a return of epics to Tamil Cinema. Except for the Extavanza in sets nothing is special in the film. My opinion is only the supporting cast which includes Nazer, Nepoleon, Kushbu, Pon Vannan, Jayaram is good while all the lead roles played by Prasanth and the female leads are Yakkkkk….

The story which depicts the important events about “Lord Annanamar Swamy” who still is worshiped as God by the Kongu Vellalar community. Ponnar and Shankar, who became rulers of Ponni Valanadu in medieval Tamil Nadu, south India, were twin sons of a Gounder warrior caste couple, Nellian Kodan (or Kunru Udiyaan) and his wife Thamari. They are credited with saving their people from an invasion.

The original work by Dr. Karunanidhi has been spoiled by emphasizing unwanted heroism on prasanth. The costumes wore by the female leads in the film is no way related to Tamil culture. The costumes are just simply copied from “Jodha Akbar” and I don’t know why two ladies from alien land have been brought here to play very important roles that could have become an cultural idol. Those two don’t even shake their lips to suit Tamil words.

Many unwanted “Slow Motions” spread all over the film gives unwanted feeling and makes audience feel bored. Prasanth who has come back after a long gap must have chose someother film that would have suited him to show the Body he has built after many Gym work outs.

And finally for Thyagarajan, who is the director of this film, after Governments free Television scheme every household from Chennai to a small village are watching Star Movies, Movies Now, HBO and many other channels. So they know what Brave Heart is, what Apocalypto is, its better not to take a very good epic and spoil with a substance like this.
