Ko Movie Review - A Refreshing Entertainer

By Siddhartha
The first word that comes to your mind after you walk out of the theatre watching "Ko" is brilliant. Brilliant in the sense that the movie is different in terms of its storyline and it has got the right mix of elements be it romance, glamour, revenge etc. K V Anand after his blockbuster "Ayan" has directed this "Ko" which is truly a winner at the box-office. The main stream actors right from Jeeva, Ajmal, Pia Bajpai, Debutant Karthika, Kota Sreenivasa Rao and Prakash Raj have all given a note worthy performance which makes this movie a power house of acting.

The plot is different which cannot be revealed for the obvious reason that it would be a complete spoiler to the efforts of the "Ko" team. There are two stories which run parallel to each other in the triangular love angle between Jeeva, Pia and Karthika while on the other side its the dynamic political scenario that unfolds before an election in the state.

The twist in the tale is not unfolded till the fag end of the movie but that doesn't bring down the entertainment quotient of the film. But when the twist is thrown open, it comes as a rude shock to the viewers on how can a story be so clean and well knitted and to be honest no sequence in the film is predictable. The end again is compromised for the heroism but a worthy ending considering the way the sequence were mounted that ends in an intriguing climax.

The film runs for 160 minutes and except for the song immediately after the interval none of the sequences seem irrelevant. The flashback sequence is also crisply handled which is a huge bonus for the pace of the film.

In terms of acting, one can say it is flawless from everyone including the debutant Karthika who shows lot of promise like her mother Radha. Jeeva and Ajmal have strolled on a powerful platform and are brilliant in their roles. Pia Bajpai shows little glamour and at the same time her characterization is well structured. Veterans Prakash Raj and Kota Sreenivasa Rao have had a stroll in the park when it comes to their acting.

K V Anand has deftly handled a powerful script to perfection. Music is a let down except for the "Ennamo Yedho" song. Cinematogrpahy by Richard M Nathan is the next star of the film with scenes shot at difficult camera angles that are a treat to the eyes.

"Ko" a must watch clean entertainer.

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

By
Going back to work is tough for any new parent, but the transition is especially difficult for those suffering from postpartum depression. (Remember, postpartum depression affects both women and men.) If you manage someone who has recently had a baby, pay close attention to how they’re doing — a parent’s struggle doesn’t always show on the outside. Some people may overcompensate by working too hard, while others may show a loss of enthusiasm. Familiarize yourself with the services your firm offers — which may include groups for working parents, health care coverage for counseling, or post-natal yoga or meditation classes — so that you can help your employee access support. Offer options such as flex time, telecommuting, gradual return, or peer mentoring. In fact, it’s a good idea to offer these things to all team members so that the new parent doesn’t feel singled out. Find ways to make supporting employees and their mental health part of your culture. Adapted from " What Managers...

If Your Team Is Overwhelmed, What Can They Stop Doing?

By
Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
