Vaanam

Vaanam follows a multi narrative format similar to Naan Mahan Alla.Telugu director Krish comes to Tamil with his critically acclaimed Vedam as Vaanam. The characters in Vaanam are very ordinary with little bit of grey shades. In this film STR plays as cable Raju, Bharath as rock star, Anushka as the sex worker, Saranya the helpless mom of an abducted son and Prakash Raj on the lookout for his lost brother are the axles around which Vaanam revolves. The screenplay is woven around these characters and Krish builds his narration in a neat pattern by not losing steam or our attention. Nirav Shahs cinematography is too good. Music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Except Evandi Onna Pethan none of the other songs are good. On the downside the movie moves in a slow pace and sometimes we feel certain characters and scenes are included without any meaning or scope. The climax sequence is totally a letdown.




Final Verdict-A multi starrer drama with less substance. Watch it on your own risk.

KO

After Ayan Director KV Anand has given us one more visual treat KO. Similar to Ayan Anand has take a different plot with good characterization and a neat script. Jiiva as Photo journalist has done a good work the story revolves around him, the film is the jouerny of this photo journalist. Ajmal as young politician is too good. Karthika(yester year herione Radhas daughter) has done a good job as fellow journalist of Jiiva. Piaa too has done her part as journalist in this film. Music is the plus all the songs are good to hear and a visual treat. Photography and editing is crisp and it gives us the feeling to involve ourself in the film.Prakashraj, Kotta srinivasan has done their part to add commercial flavor to the film. The role done by Bose Venkat is the highlight of the film. The dialogues are sharp and too good. Little bit trimming in the first half should have made this film racy. 2 songs are placed in un wanted situations.

Final verdict-A Visual cum Entertaining treat for the audiance.
