Ko!

The last movie I have seen, as a B.E. student during official college hours. The movie was fresh in its look and theme. A very brief recap-

The Good:

Unusual characters. A photo journalist as the hero who keeps clicking away even when he is about to be thrashed, kindles the shutterbug in anyone possessing a camera. For me, it was a sneak peek into the world I wanted to inhabit, as a teenager. No one is clean- be it the incumbents or the opposition. Politics is a dirty world. We are obviously thrilled to see the hero cruising through it, armed with a Canon camera! The twist in the tale towards the end is very good. The climax has been handled beautifully.

The Bad: 

The lack of an element called logic. Well, though it is an accepted fact that Tamil films always have super-heroes, I still find it difficult to digest the unreal stunt scenes from an objective point of view. 

The Ugly:

The song "Venpaniye" is nothing short of a pain in the neck. A complete irritant, it has been inserted at the most inappropriate place. The heroine's mostly passive screen presence. Well, I can't call it acting. The character was a good one. An expressive portrayal would have done justice to it. And seriously, her questioning the link between the hero and another guy while the former is on the verge of a huge discovery is stupid to the normal senses, whatever significance the ensuing flashback holds.   

On the whole, "Ko" was definitely worth a watch, though I'm still wondering as to why it has been named so! (if any reader knows, kindly put it up as a comment)
