“KO” – Is like a 6 lane silky smooth highway having some big bumps and potholes in the middle.

My experience watching KO was very similar to this.

A group of friends get into a very cozy Innova with all the comforts. Then after going to about 40% of the distance, one of the tires gets punctured. Now it takes some time for the replacement. Then the group starts to cruise with all the comforts again. Then suddenly an engine problem comes at about 80% of the journey. Then somehow the group reaches the destination.

The performance by the leads are apt for this mass commercial flick.

Songs spring out at the most unexpected situation. (A duet song very soon after a friend is killed!! Of course it is a sad duet song shot in very beautiful snow)

Comedy less.

Story twists and turns but seems broken and not genuine.

Rating : 3.5/5 but is worth the money you spent. 
This is said comparing the recent Tamil movies released. 


KO Update:

I saw the movie “State of Play” after a friend’s recommendation. He told that it is similar to KO.
The Similarity - Both movies have one main politician and one main reporter. And they are friends.
The base plot may have been taken from it. But after seeing that movie some scenes in KO was very amateurishly written.
Reporting can be a challenging and tough. (I did know that. But felt it after this movie)
Watch “State of play” also. The BGM is good and so does the movie.

Rating: State of play – 4/5

Kanden Kadhalai in Tamil < Jab We Met in Hindi

On the above picture do you see any difference? Hmmmm… This is the level of similarity you can see when you see Kanden Kadhalai. But I understood direction is not simply copying. You have to have the magic touch which the original director (Imtiaz Ali) has. Kannan (Director of Kanden Kadhalai) didn’t have that magic touch. Scene to Scene, Dialogue to Dialogue it is same as Jab We Met. Although he has left out some really cute scenes which comes in Jab We Meet. Some scenes coming to my mind are, when Geet and Adhitya try and catch a running train in Manali soon after he finds out her in Manali and she tells abt her dream. And the very last scene where Geet’s Sikh Grandfather says that he knew every thing and he needs only one second to find what is running between the girl and boy. In that scene you will be seeing Geet and Adhitya with their 2 children and giving a smile saying “Ji Daji” Those are some of the real sweet scenes in Jab We Met and we don’t find them in this movie.

Angadi Theru is touching and true…

Angadi Theru Movie Review (4/5). Angadi Theru means a Market. And a heavily crowded market in Chennai means Ranganathan Street . And that’s where most of the movie unfolds. Many would have gone inside Saravana Stores. And how many of us would have thought about the uniformed sales people working there? Vasanthabalan just has not visited Ranganathan street . But paused and thought about it and made this touching script mixing some hard reality too. The movie shows the lives of Kanni and Jothilingam for a period of roughly 1 year. And that happens to be the first year after they meet. They gain many things but loose many too. There is no hard lined story in this film. This movie can be taken as a chapter in a very big novel. But this chapter seems to be the touching one in the whole novel. Jothilangam a 12 th standard school topper from a village is forced to work for his family due to the sudden death of his father. He comes to Chennai and joins as a sales person at Senthil Mugura

Tamil Padam.. Gives you only a few genuine Laughs.

It’s been a very long time since I watched a movie first day first show. But got the opportunity for this movie after some quick planning. We decided around 3pm that we are going to the movie and then started from office at 5pm . Since it was Bangalore we where able to get the ticket for Tamil Padam very easily and to my surprise the theatre was not houseful too!!! The movie started with the Spoof of Karuthamma. But here they are killing the boy babies instead of Girl. The reason? Because boys from that village (Cinemapatti) leave for Chennai and start acting as heros in Tamil Cinema and proclaim themselves with all names like Chinna Talabathi, Mini Super start etc and also disclose that they want to become the CM in the second year itself. But our hero (who is the baby) escapes the packed super Quality Kalli paal that is kept for killing him and heads to Chennai along with Paravai Muniyamma. There are some punch dialogues which spoof Vijay and an opening song which comes similar
