KOCHADAIIYAAN - FAQ




Finally its released with so many struggles and long wait. Now wherever you turn, a review on Kochadaiiyaan will pop up. so many critics, analysis, expectations, questions, negatives etc. one who read all these sure he never go to any movies. so what to do? Is all these critics saying the right thing? or just throwing words to get attention? Go & watch & realise. 


After watching the movie & all the reviews, managed to answer few.. Usual paragraph review? No, let me try something new as FAQ.


1. After so much talk about the new technology "Motion Capture", how it turned up in the movie?

 Really a new experience in watching our famous film artists in a new avatar with same pose, motion, tone. Good thing is even we can bring back artist who are no more and still it gives you the feel of their real presence. As it is a trial attempt, a lot more improvements are needed in all aspects of the structure in future versions. There is no doubt, films will get used to this technology and can be used in a better way.

2. Is too much songs dumped in this 110 mins movie?

 They clearly said more importance will be given to music in this musical film already.Songs were outstanding and top of the charts already. So obviously songs will come frequently and also to accomodate all 8 songs + 1 theme. If you are hearing the songs first time while watching, you may feel too much of songs otherwise songs were top notch to hear and feel with excellant music from Rahman. 

3. 'Motion capture' Characterisation suited for all artists?

 Out of all, Rajni capture exactly matches in all aspects except facial expressions & bending of legs. Next is nasser who has more screen presence fits perfect with the capture. Aathi, shobana, nagesh too nice to look. Others(sarath, deepika, rukmani) are decent enough, still needs improvements.  

4. Rajni's walk not fast enough?

 Not at all. It is as needed and exact to reality. All his mannerism are captured well and showed perfectly. May be they have seen the slow motion.

5. 3D?

 3D is very limited and also it doesnt come up well in most scenes. Cant able to see the detailing of each frame in 3D. U can see colour glitter here and there and while lead artist walking, it seems like a second person is also walking behind them. First 10 mins have spectacular 3D that too the intro caption of Super Star come up very well in 3D. 'Rudra Thandavam’ and Dog fight were very nice in 3D. Most of the breath taking scenes are slow motion sequence so it will be good even if you watch in 2D.

6. How is music?

 One of the Rahman's Best. Be it songs, Be it BGM, Be it theme all no words to express. Music is one of the main reason where you will not even see negatives and it takes the animation sequence to a greater extend. BGM used in war & fight sequence are special mention to say. Songs already bumper hit. All numbers are unique in their own way. Music lift the movie to next level.

7. How about song picturaisation & visuals?

 Amazing in one word. Usually in real cinema you need to put effort to shoot in a beautiful location for good visuals. Here your creative imagination is what become the visuals. They passed here with flying colors. Specially 'Methuvaagathaan' song locations are too good. In 'Rudra Thandavam’, camera dances well with the music.  

8. Is Brightness in the film very low?

 Yes. That too when you watch with 3D glass it even goes dim. This is being reported in the trailer itself and thought it could have been corrected but still same. In few scenes post interval, even the color went down and more contrast prevailed. 

9. Any Vow moments?
 A lot to list out. Rajni Caption, Rajni Intro, white peacock dance, Deepika action sequence, Rudra Thandavam, Fight sequence at ship, shobana & Rajni bharathanaatiyam, Dog fight, Climax action.

10. How Nagesh apperance come up?

 By seeing him again, sure all his classic moments will flash into our mind. Dubbing and his movements are well done. Thanks to this technology to bring him back with the same charm & dialogue delivery. 

11. Is animation that much bad?

 Sometimes in films, even the glitches we will not notice except to the critic eyes. But here everybody can find out a glitch in most scenes. That too 3D version will uplift the poor animation at times. As it is a epic film, horses are the ones which comes front in most scenes where their leg movements are very poor to say in this. You can say a lot like this but these faults are overwhelmed by other items in the film is the fact.

12. Is first half slow n dragging?

 Not at all. First half and Second half are having their own special things. First half: Intro of all characters, nagesh, songs. Second half: Screenplay, rajni punch, action, kochadaiiyaan flashback, climax action, rudra thandavam.

13. Is Rajni movie's expectations satisfied?

 Out an out its a clear Rajni Movie with all his film elements in a new dimenstion. A Grand intro, artful songs visuals, Punch dialogues, Breath taking action sequence, Great Music & BGM, 3D.  what still you need for a Rajni movie?

14. What remains in mind after coming out from theatre?

 Music, Rajni, Punch, Visuals and finally looking for a time to watch one more time

15. What for final words about this attempt?

 You can arrange a debate on the pros n cons of the movie. So equally points are there to speak on each side. Positive points overwhelmed the other side is the fact. Sure to be watched only on theatres repeatedly.
