King of Kotha Reviews

In Kotha, the rules are defined by Kannan (Shabeer Kallarakkal) and his gang. When a newly appointed police officer, Shahul Hassan (Prasanna), takes charge of the place, he is determined to bring Kannan to heel.

In the realm of global cinema, numerous films have garnered critical acclaim and achieved commercial success despite being labelled as 'style over substance' productions.

Verdict: King of Kotha might have a familiar storyline that feels stretched out in parts, but Dulquer’s performance along with the grand visuals make this gangster revenge saga worth watching in theatres.

Dulquer Salmaan's charm is something that cannot be ignored even when you consciously want to.

Though the Dulquer Salmaan-starrer possessed the potential to be celebrated alongside iconic gangster movies like Satya, Vada Chennai, and Gangs of Wasseypur, its failure to feature a compelling narrative prevents it from…

All said and done, this Dulquer Salmaan starrer is no Beeshma Parwam! It's bad*ss, has enough style but lacks the essential substance that binds everything else together. A missed opportunity!

‘King of Kotha’ suffers from the same old problem of not knowing how much is too much. Short of becoming a cult gangster classic, it does have the mass appeal and the ability to hold its audience captive for a long time.

Director Abhilash, who seems to have the sensibilities to carry a movie mounted on such a scale, could have pulled off something grander if he had better writing to aid him.

Telugu has tonnes of them. So does Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, Bengali and Marathi.
