Kochadaiyaan Story

Kochadaiiyaan is an trilingual (Tamil, Telugu and Hindi) India's First Photorealistic Performance Capture movie starring the Superstar Rajinikanth & Deepika Padukone. Direction by Soundarya Rajinikanth under the supervision of K S Ravikumar. Cast & Crew Details Story   Videos  |  Photos  |  Fan Photos  |  Dialouges Kochadaiiyaan movie is based on Pandiyan king Kochadaiyan Ranadhiran (710-735 A.D). ‘Kochadaiiyaan’ is the story about how mighty warrior Rana fights to restore his father Kochadaiiyaan’s lost glory. The rustic voice introduces us to the two warring kingdoms of Kalingpura and Kottaipattanam to the south of the country. It’s after one of the many bloody battles between the two dynasties that we see a little boy running away from his brother, with blood smeared on his face. The citizens of the kingdom ruled by the senior Rajinikanth have nothing to worry in life and are enjoying all the pleasures under the sun.  The king now becomes a victim of a plot hatched by one of his own men (Jackie Shroff), who plays the kingpin in the plot. Then Comes Rana, who impresses us and the king of Kalingpura with his gallantry. He goes on to win many battles for Kalingpura and gains the trust of King Mahendra Raj (Jacckie Sharoff) and his son Veera Bhadra. He then convinces them to wage a war on Kottaipattanam, using the men they had captured from that kingdom. It’s only on the battlefield that Rana announces his solidarity to Kottaipattanam. While King Rishikodayan (Nassar) embraces Rana, the prince rewards his friend and his heroism with the title of the ‘commander in chief’.  Rana’s real sacrifices and his resolve to ensure his father Kochadaiiyaan’s legacy remains untarnished. His love interest is Vadhana Devi played by Deepika Padukone. How Raana and Sena defeats the enemy and gets his kingdom is rest of the story which leads to the climax.

"First, we (the team) scanned his face and made a 3D model to get the exact precision of his features, such as the scar on his nose.  And then we corrected the 3D model by tightening his skin to make him look 25 years younger. They used that technology in the film Tron." The youthfulness of the look was compared to the looks that Rajinikanth carried in his film Muthu.

Kochadaiyaan Critics Review

filmibeat.com
The day Rajinikanth's millions of fans have been waiting for is finally here. The Tamil superstar's graphical wonder Kochadaiiyaan has arrived near your theatres in multiple languages. This time, Rajini will be seen in never-before avatars as the film is a historical fiction directed by his daughter Soundarya Ashwin. The story of the film is about a son (Rana)'s fight to regain the lost glory of his father (Kochadaiiyaan) both played by the superstar, who will also be seen as Sena (Third role). AR Rahman's voice tells us about the battle of two kingdoms Kalingpuram and Kottaipattanam. Verdict: Ignore the technical flaws, watch it for the brave attempt made by Soundarya and her team. Mind you, Kochadaiiyaan is a worth-watching film.

A lot is riding on Superstar Rajinikanth’s ‘Kochadaiyaan’, as it happens to be India’s first motion capture photo-realistic 3D animated film. The success of this film would mean many film-makers taking up this technology, and it would help the makers to break barriers and cross the boundaries. In spite of the fact that animation and motion capturing involved in Kochadaiyaan are no match to Hollywood standards, this is just the beginning in Tamil cinema and it is a good beginning. If this movie is the output of the first attempt at motion capture technology in India, we can take it happily.
Behindwoods
The film, set in a bygone era, encompasses elements such as bravery, jealousy, revenge and inspiring leadership. K.S.Ravikumar binds them all with a gripping screenplay which soars particularly in the second half and he proves that he is a master at his game. Do watch out for the end credits sequence which is a fitting culmination to the overall Kochadaiiyaan experience. The team’s hard work and vision will humble you and might make you emotional. Verdict: A pioneering attempt which offers true entertainment in trademark Rajini style
Cineoutlook
Kochadaiiyaan has taken inspiration from Pandya King Kochadaiyaan Ranadheeran and comes with a fictional account on him. Rajinikanth has done the role of a father and a son. Jackie Shroff plays the role of a baddie with Deepika Padukone and Shobana romancing Rajinikanth in different times Final words: Overall, my sincere advice is to don’t watch this movie in 3D as a number of nagging animations will disturb you to concentrate so watch this movie in 2D to concentrate on the story. Kudos to Rajinikanth.
