Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Yash Wade
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Why not give a 10, I in fact loved the movie, not the technical stuff or the cast or the music or the story line. Over all, I liked it.Why shouldn't it be a copy, A movie, if it can be remade for the local audience to understand, reach, the script should be welcomed.There is a lot of dramatics in the last few reels, Im confused, how the director tried to match them on with the terrorist group.The song background aren't new, we have seen them a lot in new movies.Another major point on the success was, Vanna was releasing on the same days with a lot of hype and a dj party song was a killer from Vannam. But Ko's musics takes aways and nothing less than Vannam's killer.Jeeva, could have improvised on a mature character but his child like face kills it at some shots.Pia and Karthika looks silver screens at all times, cant take the eyes away on the frame they are.As a photographer the artist should have used a Nikon and none of his equipments were apt to the sceen, its just a camera in the hand than the professional equipment and some stupid tricks like the side lenses, well it isn't bad, but could have a better thought.Ajmal's big break and a very good adv for the film, hope he cont to perform such classic roles than the hero. In fact credit goes to him more than Jeeva at any point of time.Watch it, Enjoy it. Ko

This film KO as acclaimed by other reviewers as a good film by Anand K.V. is a copy cat Indian version of a best US film "STATE OF PLAY" by Kevin Macdonald , staring Russell Crowe .Anand K.V killed the story , logics and other main features of State of play and delivered an complete CLUMSY unlogical masala tamil film.As said by other reviewers Anand.K.v isn't an brilliant director , he is yet another stupid director of tamil industry , who copies the story from Hollywood and changes it for Indian style and proclaims it as his own story which he had in his mind for last 10 years or so.KO is yet another clumsy tamil version of a good Hollywood film.

Jeeva dialog delivery and body language was extraordinary.Karthika looked beautiful and her performance is impressive as Renuka. Both Jeeva and Karthika looked as a perfect pair.Piaa Bajopai is fit in her role of Saraswathi and she is looked cool and stylish.Ajmal performance is quite equal to Jeeva. Ajmal did the role of Vasanth extremely well.Prakash Raj's performances is outstanding and one can't blink his eyes while he is on screens. He is back after a long time with a meaty role.Harris Jayaraj's music is outstanding. Harris tunes with visuals are super to view and its great treat for the audience. Background score is racy.Richard Nathan's Cinematography is excellent. Editing by Anthony is speed up the film.After a long time a best movie in Tamil.

This was a movie with huge expectations running all over it. This was because of K V Anand's previous venture 'Ayan' and his cinematography credentials and (to an extent) his stint as a journalist. The base story is something which is common in all his movies. What is interesting here is the premise that he had selected for depicting that. Journalism and Politics are two separate things. They are like water and oil. But the exact opposite is what is presented in this story. It runs somewhat parallel to RGV's 'Rann' but with lesser attitude and with more commercial elements. The director could have enjoyed his status of being a smart-ass with this movie also but alas everything falls apart with the first act itself with half-baked characterizations, poor chemistry for the love track, lackluster sound track, average performances and some sloppy direction. Instead he turns out to be just smart and a brilliant ass with this one. The story is solid. The same did not get transferred to the treatment. There are constant ups and downs throughout the movie. As with all the commercial movies this movie is also ridden with cliché's and with a running time of approximately 3 hours it becomes a bit itchy. All in all…it is a commercial movie in a suppressed format in all ways.
