Continue
reading
our
review
to
know
what
exactly
does
this
political
thriller,
which
is
inspired
by
Telugu
film
Prathinidhi,
has
to
offer.
Ko
2
Plot:
Bobby
Simha,
fed
up
with
how
our
political
system
works,
decides
to
kidnap
the
Chief
Minister,
played
by
Prakash
Raj.
His
demands,
though
eccentric,
makes
perfect
sense
in
accordance
with
today's
economy.
What
are
his
demands?
Does
he
get
away
with
his
crime?
Watch
Ko
2
at
a
theatre
to
unlock
the
answers.
Performances:
Bobby
Simha,
who
proved
his
versatality
in
movies
like
Jigarthanda
and
Urumeen,
has
selected
yet
another
interesting
script.
The
kind
of
script
that
usually
ends
up
on
the
lap
of
an
action
hero.
Though
his
performance
looks
below
par
in
the
first
half,
it
gradually
improves
in
the
latter
half.
What
initially
looks
like
a
mismatch
cast,
ends
up
on
a
decent
note.
Prakash
Raj
is
outstanding
throughout.
His
character
has
been
penned
with
utmost
care
by
the
director
and
the
veteran
does
complete
justice
to
it.
Watch
out
for
the
scenes
in
which
he
converses
about
our
country
with
Bobby.
Nikki
Galrani,
who
plays
a
journalist
in
the
movie,
has
done
a
neat
job.
But,
who
impresses
the
most
in
the
performance
department
is
actor
Ilavarasu,
who
plays
the
Home
Minister.
Technicalities:
First
half
is
slow
as
the
film
takes
time
to
establish
its
characters.
Thanks
to
a
surprisingly
good
backstory
and
super-smart
dialogues,
the
second
half
entertains
you
by
keeping
you
hooked
till
the
very
end.
Leon
James'
background
score
adds
stability
to
the
film.
Though
the
first
song
(Kannama)
is
not
impressive,
rest
of
the
songs
are
decent
enough.
Cinematography
by
Philip
R
Sundar
is
below
par.
Monotonous
tones
and
colours
makes
the
entire
work
look
dreary.
Editor
Kevin
could've
shortened
the
first
half.
Overall
View:
Though
Ko
2
has
a
plot
which
is
not
new
to
Tamil
cinema,
what
makes
the
film
watchable
is
its
relevance
to
today's
political
system
and
some
intelligent
writing
by
its
director.
