Movies -'Ponnar Shankar'; 'Ko'; 'Vaanam'

In last couple of days, have watched this 3 movies in theaters.Though I have no knowledge on technicalities of film industry, I have my comments here as an ordinary film-goer.

Ponnar Shankar - 
It is Prashanth's come back, after a long time.His intro scene is one of the best,I've ever watched in tamil movies. Though the story is a very age old one, u'll find lot of reasons like, very intelligent casting, awesome art direction, colorful costumes, stunts,etc.to keep you glued to the seat, till the end.Kids seems to like it too.If u could forgive some illogical sequences, it is a good family entertainer.

Ko -
Politics, to the core, neatly presented.Very good details on Media, its people & its power.We all have watched many movies on politics, media and naxals but in 'Ko', all the three are well blended, in a different way.Good to watch.

Vaanam -
Awesome movie.It is one of the very rare movies that can touch your soul, talk to you and ask questions.  The story has many dimensions, and surely you can relate to at least any one of  lead characters of the movie. Very happy to see Simbu & Anushka taking up such a great performance-oriented roles, leaving behind their stardom.Great for the art.A must-watch movie, of all the new releases.
