KV Anand’s Ko with Jiiva, Ajmal, Karthika, and Piaa Bajpai is the biggest hit of the year so far. This commercial soufflé had all the right ingredients and was absolutely melt – in – your – mouth delicious. Ko was a brilliantly executed film that had great action, music, romance, and neat little twists in the tale.

Trade talk: The film had a fantastic opening and received rave reviews. It proceeded at full steam to become a smash hit. Jiiva is riding the wave of success after Ko and is hugely in demand these days.

Public opinion: Ko sent Jiiva’s star value soaring as he received a lot of praise for his performance. Ajmal and Piaa also turned in memorable performances.
