All ready for release 23/MAY/2014 (expect for the posters which still say 9th as the release date) :
France : 25+ shows in the opening weekend.
And this time there is a Avant-Prémiere on 22/MAY/2014 @19H20
For more information, consult distributor site : http://www.aannafilms.fr/movies/kocha/index.html
Solladipadum Enbathaalae Vetri Kaanamal Povathillai - Kochadaiiyaan 3D releasing on 23/MAY/2014
[Thought I would say it]
If you are booking online or buying your tickets in the counter, make sure you get a seat not far from the screen to experience the best 3D effects. Positioing in the middle of the row can uplift the viewership if the cinema hall is equiped with fine sound system and a large screen enabled to project deep colors. Any digitally (re)mastered cinema hall should be fine.
Will all prints of Kochadaiiyan have English subs? Or will it vary country by country, cinema by cinema? Specifically asking about Golden Mile in Singapore.
Will they release it for sure on the 23rd? The last thing I want is to book a ticket and on Thursday they turn around and come up with a new reason for postponing it ?

Medhuvagathaan Promo Clip
1. Activate HD
2. Watch on Full Screen
See the difference :
Koch-normal vs Koch-HD [pictures attached - Screenshots taken by myself from Toshiba Led Screen Laptop - Not a new generation computer though]
As mentioned previously, the movie should be watched in cinema halls with screens that project the colors & pixels acurately. Thus, results may vary.
Funny to see the faceless dummies dancing behind as mechanics (LoL), and the decor seems to be from an alien war zone. But the two 3D models are amazing. And again, the models becomes stiff like wooden dolls between frames, should have fine tuned that.
Anyway quite excited to watch the movie, 24hrs to go !
Oru Kuzhanthai Pola, Oru Vairam Pola, Engal Kochadaiiyaan Puthumai Anathu - Releasing this Friday (World Wide)
reserved ticket for tomorrow's premiere in AMC (3D) theatre in MD
Some more General Information :
We looked at what is a KDM (Key Delivery Message), a protected file, which holds the key and certificate information to unlock a DCP movie file. It is a small cryted file which is unique for each movie FILE and not each movie as a movie can have different versions. Its is sent as an attachment in an email to cinema halls and activates/deactivates itself during the specific coded dates. This is how the file looks like : (and we just apply it to the movie file which will then get highlighted in green, if it does not work (for many reasons) the movie file will rest higlight RED) :

Trust Tamil superstar Rajinikanth to spin something unusually extraordinary every time he appears on-screen. Whether it’s juggling his sunglasses in swift moves, or lighting a cigarette after throwing it mid- air, Rajinikanth is a persona unlike no other. He’s celebrated on-screen and off, and spinning off on his magic is his daughter’s part-history, part-fictional saga ‘Kochadaiiyaan’.
While the efforts taken to make a movie that uses “photo-realistic motion” is explained vividly in a short documentary as the curtain-raiser, and through its title song at the end, there’s a sense that it could’ve been a little more finer in texture and treatment. In parts it appears ordinary.
Considering there’s ample exposure to Hollywood animation, this experiment does feel a little amateur. Originally made in Tamil, its Hindi version jars occasionally due to the inconsistent lip-sync.
That said, what works in director Soundarya Rajinikanth Ashwin’s favour is the story. Although simple and predictable in parts, this story of bravery and honesty is entertaining.
Although Rajinikanth is remarkably captured through his mannerisms and voice, and lends versatility to three characters - Rana, Dharam and Kochadaiiyaan - his presence in flesh and blood is something his fans would desire most.
‘Kochadaiiyaan’ is the story about how mighty warrior Rana fights to restore his father Kochadaiiyaan’s lost glory.
Amitabh Bachchan’s rustic voice introduces us to the two warring kingdoms of Kalingpura and Kottaipattanam to the south of the country.
It’s after one of the many bloody battles between the two dynasties that we see a little boy running away from his brother, with blood smeared on his face. We learn the reasons only much later.
Soon, we meet Rana, who impresses us and the king of Kalingpura with his gallantry.
He goes on to win many battles for Kalingpura and gains the trust of King Mahendra Raj and his son Veera Bhadra. He then convinces them to wage a war on Kottaipattanam, using the men they had captured from that kingdom.
It’s only on the battlefield that Rana announces his solidarity to Kottaipattanam.
The betrayal wounds the king, who vows revenge.
While King Rishikodayan embraces Rana, the prince rewards his friend and his heroism with the title of the ‘commander in chief’.
Although Rana’s real intentions are revealed through a narrative that skips between the past and present, we empathise with his sacrifices and his resolve to ensure his father Kochadaiiyaan’s legacy remains untarnished.
Veteran actors Shobana, Sarathkumar, Jackie Shroff and Nassar lend their expressions and voice ably to essay key characters in this epic drama. And, so does Deepika Padukone as Princess Vadha.
While A R Rahman retains his flavour with the music, Saroj Khan, Raju Sundaram, Chinni Prakash and Shobana choreograph it impressively.
What’s most remarkable is how iconic actor Nagesh is resurrected through animation.
Despite the lack of technical finesse, the filmmaker deserves to be applauded for taking a step towards innovation and change, and setting the ground work for 'Rana'.

#Kochadaiiyaan ( 7.5 / 10 ) : A grand parade, lead by the terrific Thalaivar. Superb popcorn entertainment, brought down by the animation.
#Kochadaiiyaan : KSR's paperwork is top notch, especially the screenplay. Had this been an actual film, it would have hit the sky.
#Kochadaiiyaan : ARR strikes gold with the BGM, much unlike the songs. Fights are freaking awesome. More in the full review, hold on!

#Kochadaiiyaan (Tamil) Movie Review:
(This review is from 2 of our team members abroad. Our final review will be posted tomorrow night after we watch it in India.)
Our Score: 35/50
Genre: History | Action | Animation
Cast: Rajinikanth, Deepika Padukone, Actor Sarathkumar, Nasser, ...
Music: A.R. Rahman
Direction: SOUNDARYA RAJNIKANTH
First of all, this film is not just for kids to enjoy the animation. It has a clean and clear script with a good screenplay backed with fantastic music! And of course, our dear Thalaivar himself! What else do we need?
The script is simple and easily understandable even by the C-centre even though it was quoted to be complicated by a few sections of the media. Hats off to K.S.Ravikumar for writing a simple yet solid script.
Rajinikanth's name on the title card is welcomed by cheers and whistles from all around. What a comeback by the Superstar! His voice echoes off the walls in every scene. Even though it is clear that he has not performed in the difficult scenes, we feel proud and awed for being his fans. The biggest plus for the movie, obviously!
Deepika Padukone looks ravishing even in the poorly animated figurine. Sarathkumar, Nasser, Nagesh, Aadhi, Jackie Shroff, Shobana and the other characters take some time to get into our minds, but in the end, they stay etched! Once again, credits to K.S.Ravikumar!
The second (arguably) biggest plus point is the music! Be it songs or BGM, Rahman gives his all! His guitar-based BGMs are bound to bring whistles and cheers from all around. Fanfare guaranteed!
Animation is definitely not top-notch but this is a definite big step toward a better future.. 3D effects make us forget the glitches in animation. So, when you watch, go for 3D to improve your viewer experience. Soundarya & team should be applauded for trying this new era technology. We still have aeons to go, though!
On the whole, the film will definitely enthrall the audience in B and C centres, and the kids! For the A centre, the film is a little too simple and cliched, the only difference being "Performance Capture". However, Rajini-Rahman combo is bound to bring flocks to the theatres! And die-hard fans will not leave the halls disappointed!
Our Rating:
Script - 6/10
Performance - 7.5/10
Screenplay - 6.5/10
Music - 9/10
Direction - 6/10
Overall - 35/50

Staring : Rajinikanth, Deepika Padukone, Shobana, Nassar, Aadhi, Sarath Kumar, Rukmini, Jackie shroff, Nagesh
Director : Soundarya R Ashwin
Music : AR Rahman
Production : Eros International , Media One Global Entertainmen
Performance Capture Technology. Last seen in films such as Avatar and Tintin, it is now brought to our lands at the helm of Soundarya Rajnikanth and her team, in the name of Kochadaiiyaan. One cannot ask for a better lead for this first than the Superstar, as the sea of his fans get to see their hero in yet another tone.
Kochadaiiyaan is the epic saga of a commanding leader of the same name, and his legacy settling scores with the opponents. The movie begins (in ARR's voice-over) with Rana's ( Rajnikanth ) heroics, unveils its twists about a late chief ( Rajni again ), and brings itself to its final stage with a bang, ending in style.
Since this is a photo-realistic film, the performances had to be carried out within 4 walls, and that has been executed to near perfection by the veterans onboard. Rajnikanth's trademark style and mannerisms are recreated to an extent, as one notices that the maximum amount of graphical attention has been awarded to the Superstar. Thalaivar's voice is magic, and that is one reason why it is so heartening to watch him in any format possible. Performance wise, the artists have fit their bills, yet we ponder over how their natural expressions (especially the eyes) have not been brought out onscreen. Deepika in particular, is a joke.
Rajiv Menon's camera captures the characters in unique angles, with a special mention going to the fight scenes. Editing by Anthony is crisp, as he had to ensure the right cuts at the right places to avoid drags. Costumes are well etched, colorful and bright. Fight choreography is a lynchpin in a movie of this genre, and that has been taken care off in good proportions.
AR.Rahman's music plays a pivotal role in the film, as his BGM induces goosebumps at many places, thereby pushing the film to the next level. Claps to his sounds in Deepika's stunt sequence and the Shiva Thaandavam snippets. The songs have been picturised with fancy ideas, yet act as speed breakers in the second half.
If Rajnikanth is the Superman onscreen, it is KS.Ravikumar who stands in those shoes behind the screen. His paperwork is top notch, specially the screenplay which possesses very few dull moments. Though the story isn't a big bash, it is the screenplay which is well balanced with romantic, senti and thrill-filled happenings along with enough and more mass moments for the fans to cheer about. Soundarya's direction is apt, and the duo must be lauded for their creative ideas at many instants. Had this been an actual film, it would have touched the skies.
Kochadaiiyaan is by far a new attempt in Indian Cinema, and credit goes to the humongous crew for this film, which carves a new benchmark. However, the animation is a big flaw for the film, as it cracks a crater in its final show. Spare a thought since it's the first time, and go watch this spectacle for it does speak of some superb popcorn entertainment.

Kochadaiyaan
Oru paamara rasigana.. kandippa oru thadava paarkalam.. i felt bored on excessive songs.. But as a movie lover/critic lots of things to appreciate in this movie
1. As Thalaivar said first of its kind in Indian Cinema
2. Don’t expect the animation/vfx to be in Hollywood standard, with the limited budget and technology definitely it was far better than i thought.
3. Rocking BGM and Thalaivar’s voice is major plus.
4. With VFX, story and screenplay, fights helped to entertain throughout even though excessive songs.
On the whole I’m not disappointed ( I went with less expectations
Grand Opening in Singapore!
Here is the overseas release list. Thanks to that "someone" who had put its up together : Kochadaiiyaan From Today WorldWide
Shankar, its released with English Subtitles in Singapore.
Kochadaiiyaan storms B.O
Smash hit! Kochadaiiyaan breaking all records in Tamil Nadu. Biggest Rajinikanth opener. Trade pundits are predicting 100 crore share just in Tamil Nadu. Rajinikanth returning to Chennai today to celebrate. Overseas too the film creating waves, huge hit in UAE, all records broken. Very good response in USA, Malaysia and Singapore as well.
