Good question, but do we ask that for a ANY U certified movie released in the recent past. But thats not my escape reply. Being very well aware that Kochadaiiyaan will come up under scrutinizing radar, I will act as a responsible fan to reply to any queries regarding this film.Quote:

Its a uprising against the evil, as potrayed from one of the Thandavams of Siva, and violence is not an additional package but a part of the movement.
Comming to violence and restriction for kids. There are different layers to it, starting from intorduction of blood, body parts & fibres, implication of gore (torture) and inducing graphical nature (limbs geting severed). To make it simple, any fight between humans or even animals is violent - even Chota Bheem is shown throwing stones at others. Take Jackie chan films, it has action, but never in his movies there is blood, as blood is graphical representation. Take 300, its not only has gore but its goes to become maximum graphical.
Kochadaiiyaan is an Animation, there itself these aspects are reduced or becomes more irreal, unless pushed beyond boundaries like in Beowulf, which I feel will not be the case, as in any Rajini movie it gets beautifully masked. Then, the arrow-headhot or the spear piercings are not graphical at all as the blood splatters are controled and they even don't have the same scary red. Any fairy tale for kids show how the dragons are slayed. So, if the violence is kept under control, breifly narrated for the kid, I do not think its going to disturb them.
Showing the Press Meet and the technicians who worked for the film, Kochadaiiyaan challenges World Cinema :
"Parthaya Engal Nattin Ratha Gaja Thuraga Padathigalai"

Extrodinarily EPIC

Engal Kochadaiiyaan
Was schearing for ARR in the whole Album, and finally found him shining in this composition. This is ARR style, the spirit to be different and render something unique. The basic idea to incorporate distanced instruments itself is creativeness at its peak. The pure sound of musical arrangement was just resonating.
Usually a song with Siva as backdrop, you have an extended Udukai throughout pounding your head. ARR himself did that in Baba Sakthi Kodu song. But here he has neatly presented the rage along with the motive, giving it a modern touch that has been missing for quite sometime now.
@1m30s, the real party begins.
The chorus is aptly tiggered where the male taking the upliftment of the mountains while the female vocals occupy the streams following down from it. The whole setup is throughly thought and recorded to bring in a feel about the suituation and the location of the song. I am sure this song along with the visuals is going to do wonders on screen.
Vairamuthu has put in just a couple of lines giving enough space for the music to roll in. But these lines are quite concentrated, just like a effective oneliner of a massive concept. He pens lauding Siva masking it as a praise for Kochadaiiyaan -
Ninnadi Serndhaal Neraadhu Maranam
Kalam Kadandhum Pechudaiiyaan,
Kattrai Kadandhu Mochadaiyaan
before signing off with an epic line - Kondrai Soodum Kochadaiiyaan - Kondrai is a flower, adding the meaning to the title Kochadaiiyaan

Kochadaiyaan (aka) Kochadaiiyaan music review
Superstar Rajini’s Kochadaiyaan features the best possible music ensemble in Rahman, Vairamuthu and the late Vaalee. Has the group delivered the expected magic?
Chinmayee sounds enchanting in Idhayam, which is a tantalizing melody with divine instrumentation. Her voice modulation is brilliant when she sings ‘Idhayam Nazhuvi Nazhuvi Pogudhe’ as her expressions gel with the meaning of the lyrics. Her classical base has been fully put to use by Rahman. We also get to hear melody specialist Srinivas after quite a while in a high-profile album such as this.
Karma Veeran as the name says is a heroic, uplifting number rendered by the brother - sister pair of Rahman and Raihanah. Both the singers sound typical and show their prowess at traversing the higher pitches. The chorus sections and the majestic orchestration are a delight to listen to, in this Tamil song with international sensibilities.
Maatram Ondrudhaan features the booming, inimitable voice of the Superstar rendering beautifully written, thought provoking lines. The chorus and orchestration work well here too and Haricharan is earnest as ever. Though the processed beats stick out a bit, the ‘jathi’ rendition towards the end is an innovative addition.
Manamaganin Sathiyam flows with melody and Haricharan is at his pleasing best. The nadaswaram sounds apt in this marital song from the groom’s perspective. Manappennin Sathiyam is a related number from the bride’s perspective and Latha Rajini sounds so young and sweet. In both the songs, the percussions are unassuming and the focus is on the heavenly melody and the lyrics which brim with love and respect.
Medhuvaagathaan features two melody legends – the ever delightful SPB and the silky Sadhana Sargam. Rahman resorts to the ‘mridangam’ to provide a beautiful rhythm to the number while the fleeting sounds of the sitar are hard to miss. The chorus group does their bit for the track while the soaring orchestration around the halfway point is magnificent.
The quintessential Rajini opening track featuring the commanding vocals of SPB is here. Enge Pogudho Vaanam features memorable, gooseflesh inducing orchestration and a spirited chorus section. The Celtic touches in the second interlude fit well into the track. Most of the lines are really topical to Rajini’s life. A fan favorite, this sure will be.
Rana’s Dream is the instrumental version of Enge Pogudho Vaanam and has been performed by the London Sessions Orchestra. The track takes a pensive, subtle approach and is truly international in its sound. The ensemble of strings, the flute, and clarinet create a really soulful mood. CLASS!
Engal Kochadaiyaan is performed by a group of singers and the track carries a good amount of drive. We get to hear digital sounds as well as traditional percussion instruments in the background. On screen, Rajini’s ‘Rudra Thandavam’ is expected to take this track to the finish line.
Verdict: A grand effort by Rahman which befits the movie’s chivalrous theme. The melodies are topnotch too.
Personal Picks - Rana's Dream, Enge Pogudho Vaanam, Karma Veeram, Maatram Ondrudhaan, Manamaganin Sathiyam and Manappennin Sathiyam.

songs yet to sink in, but good melodies.
why the movie was not made with real actors? whats the need for motion-capture digital movie of RK now? he is not so old that he cant act. RK and KH can do such digital imagery movies when they reach very old age. imho i would have loved to see real actors and not this.

Kochadaiiyaan Music Review
After months of rescheduling, the album of 'photorealistic-performance captured'-Rajini-starrer Kochadaiiyaan is out. The movie has been in the news ever since it was announced for its cast and magnum opus production. Starring Superstar Rajinikanth and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles, the movie has an all-star cast. Each person working on the movie has a mutually exclusive fan base of his/hers, making this movie BIG in every sense.
The second biggest mutually exclusive fan base is that of A R Rahman's. His previous album Mariyaan was well received. However, the music for the movie was thematic. With Kochadaiyaan, Rahman returns to commercial cinema music, after a hiatus, much to the delight of his fans.
The album consists of nine tracks - seven penned by veteran lyricist Vairmuthu, one by Vaalee and one, instumental.
Most of us are familiar with the opening track of the album. Enge Pogutho Vaanam is the mandatory SPB sung-heavily orchestrated-introduction song for our Superstar hero. The line "Ellai Unakku Illai Thalaivaa" describes what the song is about. The song gives a magnificent reception to its hero with its heavy orchestration, especially the brass section, with the trumpets and trombones. SPB gives a powerful rendition of a song that carries the pressure of describing its hero's glory.
The second song of the album is Methuvaagathaan, sung by SPB and Sadhana Sargam, which begins with a riff very similar to the one one from Maahi Ve. The non-experimental approach to the album is evident right from the beginning. Say, you wouldn't find a romantic song as slow paced and simple as Innum Konjam Neram in a Rajini starrer. The vocal chords lend grandeur to this song. The Veena interludes sit beautifully in the beginning. Sadhana's voice, is as fresh as ever and a delight to listen to. SPB renders mellifluously. The mridangam rhythm track is beautifully synced into the song. Thumbs up!
Maatram Ondrudhaan Maaradhadhu. Were you waiting for a goosebumps moment? "Ethirigalai ozhikka mothal vazhi...mannippu", Rajinikanth begins, giving way to the orchestra - there it is, a whistle moment! Haricharan takes over proceedings with energy, his voice screams it. The song is well orchestrated and the chorus lines make it grand. Lyrically, it is a conversation between Rajini and his fan-listener, as she/he listens to Rajini's advice. The song ends with jathi by Umashankar. Hoots will make this song un-hearable in the theatre. Thumbs up!
Manapennin Sathiyam and Manamaganini Sathiyam sung by Latha Rajinikanth (yes, surprise!) and Haricharan respectively, share the same tune. Haricharan's unique nasal voice has made him a favourite. The female rendition is impressive too. Lyirically, the song(s) is/are a promise made by the lead actors to each other. The Ghanjeera beats and Nadhaswaram interludes add beauty to this soothing track. The song, with its familiar classical tune stays true to its roots - the slow pace and simplicity, all through. Likable, right away.
The next song in the album is Idhayam. Sung by Chinmayee and Srinivas, it takes off energetically post the deftly rendered recitation by Chinmayee, especially the lines nagarndhu nagarndhu..poguthey. Srinivas's voice reminds one of Minsara Poove. The song is high on emotion and points at the pain of the lead pair in the movie. It is not catchy and soothing to the ear right away, but it is a Rahman song. Thumbs up? Time will tell.
Engal Kochadaiiyaan worships its hero as the title suggests. The song sounds like it signifies Rajini's rise against the antagonist post interval. Rendered by an ensemble named after the title, the song/score when coupled with visuals of a fierce Rajinikanth, could be a treat on screen. It is almost as though Rahman had to use a choir in every song to glorify the larger than life hero. But the glorification is what we want, don't we? Powerful!
Rana's Dream, with its western orchestral arrangement feels like a Hollywood movie score. Based on Enge Pogutho Vaanam, the track is an inspiring and pleasant listen. The track describes the hero's ambition and justifies its title aptly. The track is soothing to the ear and leaves behind its emotion in the mind. We don't get to hear such tracks in Tamil movies. Thumbs up!
Karma Veeran, rendered by A R Rahman and sister A R Reihana is the signature Rahman-sung motivational song. If the rest of the album glorifies its hero, this song, to me, glorifies the Karma Veeran, its composer. He renders with elan and carries the larger-than-life theme till the end. However, the deja vu factor is undeniable, the tune bears resemblance to Nenje Yezhu. However, "Kaatre kaatre nee thoonguvadhe illai", you're sure to be left humming. Thumbs up!
The album lives upto expectations easily. Five out of eight tracks are very impressive and the rest adding to the list on repeated hearings is known fact. The album is sure to please fans and they wouldn't be left feeling a void till the composer releases his next album.
Rahman does it for Rajini again.
