Visu B 09/17/2024 The story revolves around the town Kotha and the crimes committed in it. The run time of the movie is problematic as I felt there to be a lot of lag as the movie came to its climax. It is a predictable story, but can be commended for its storytelling and BGM. Characterizations are done beautifully, but as stated add on to the slowness of the story.

Dulquer's presence in the movie is charming nonetheless. See more arvind s 08/26/2023 King of Kotha is the perfect example of a mass film gone wrong. Dulquer Salmaan tries to reinvent himself with a full blown mass-y, violent film that has him emulate the infamous John Wick albeit with the wrong weapon. Set between 1986 & 1996, Kotha is a place that is run by Kannan Bhai. He has driven the youth to drugs and ruined the town. But his past catches up with him when Raju returns to take back Kotha. If there is one thing Malayalam cinema has done, it is how they reinvented the so-called mass films. Last year's Thallumaala was exceptional with style & substance going hand-in-hand. A perfect example of how to do a generic mass movie right was the recently released Jailer. It got everything right and it didn't even drag despite both films having similar runtimes. Dulquer as Raju gives it his best but the role just doesn't suit him. He was style, has all the swag in the world but just not for this role. Shabeer Kallarakkal, who plays Kannan Bhai is a good fit as gangster. The female leads don't have anything substantial to do in the film. Shammi Thilakan is good but has limited scope. Gokul Suresh does a good enough job. But the star of the entire film and frankly the only bits of the film that I honestly enjoyed were the one with Chemban Vinod. The English speaking gangster vibe worked well. King of Kotha feels longer than 3 hours. It drags and drags towards the end credits without a valid reason. The twists feel desperate and all the style & swagger just feels tiresome. Except for that excellent theme music (which they hardly use in the film) and Chemban Vinod's performance, King of Kotha is a major disappointment.
