The King

Running time: 166 mins

A love triangle, bank robbers, and corrupt politicians; Ko has it all.

In this Tamil film, you'll find no song and dance. Still, the action packed, lightly comedic, and delightfully smart political thriller hits all the right notes. Zealous photojournalist Ashwin (Jeeva, Raam) has a knack for risking his life to capture photos. When his crush, Renuka writes a cover story about a big-name politician's intentions to marry a minor, Ashwin gambles his safety to get photographic evidence. In the meantime, the young Vasanthan makes every effort to enter government. But when his allegiance turns out to be a shock, Ashwin's involvement in the political spectrum turns out to be more than he bargained for. Once you've dug your hole, is there a way to get out?
