Here
is
a
director,
who
has
the
ability
to
make
a
movie
on
the
realistic
lines
without
harming
the
commercial
elements.
Yes,
KV
Anand"s
latest
film
Ko
has
all
the
ingredients
like
thrill,
action,
romance
etc.
The
story
of
the
film
is
said
to
be
partially
inspired
by
his
own
life
experience
of
a
photojournalist.
Read
on
for
Ko
review.
Story:
Ashwin
(Jeeva)
works
as
a
photojournalist
and
Renuka
Narayanan
(Karthika)
and
Saro
(Piaa
Bajpai)
are
his
colleagues,
who
are
reporters
in
the
same
daily.
The
story
sets
during
the
election
time,
where
the
Chief
Minister
Yogeswaran
(Prakash
Raj)
and
the
leader
of
the
opposition
party
Alavandhan
(Kota
Sreenivasa
Rao),
are
in
a
bitter
battle
for
power.
There
is
also
a
young
man
Vasanthan
Perumal
(Ajmal),
who
has
entered
the
race
with
the
desire
to
clean
the
politics.
The
polls
get
a
twist
when
Ashwin-Renuka"s
investigative
journalism
unveils
the
true
faces
of
Yogeswaran
and
Sreenivasa
Rao.
Meanwhile,
a
bomb
explosion
leads
to
Saro"s
death
during
one
of
the
Vasanthan"s
election
campaigns.
This
incident
and
the
press
support
lead
to
the
youth"s
victory
in
the
assembly
election.
What
happens
next
should
be
seen
on-screen.
Performance:
Jeeva
has
given
his
best
performance
till
date.
His
body
language
and
his
acting
have
given
a
real
look
to
the
character.
Karthika,
the
daughter
of
yesteryear
actress
Radha,
could
not
have
expected
a
better
role
than
this.
She
has
emoted
well
in
many
scenes.
Piaa
is
good
in
her
second
lead
role.
Ajmal
surprises
you
with
his
wonderful
acting,
while
Prakash
Raj
and
Kota
Srinivasa
Rao
have
given
impeccable
performance.
Technical:
Writer
Shubha
is
the
real
hero
of
the
film
for
writing
dialogues
and
racy
screenplay
with
KV
Anand.
Harris
Jayaraj"s
music
is
good,
Anthony"s
editing
is
perfect,
and
Peter
Haynes" actions
are
impressive,
Richard
M
Nathan's
cinematography
is
apt.
All
this
credit
should
go
to
KV
Anand,
who
has
taken
the
best
out
of
his
cast
and
crew.
The
director
has
made
the
film
in
an
extraordinary
style.
Verdict:
Ko
has
arrived
at
the
right
time,
as
the
people
of
Tamil
Nadu
are
eagerly
awaiting
for
the
results
of
the
general
assembly
elections.
However,
the
movie
has
minor
loopholes,
but
it
is
avoidable
as
the
movie
is
a
perfect
package
of
entertainment.
