King of Kotha

When there is a great promotion happens it means that the movie is not up to the mark. This time also , same happened here. Frankly speaking DQ is not capable of doing Mass role. The actions are ok.. The background score of this movie was very interesting.. Shammi Thilakan deserve a special mention. Aiswarya Lakshmi is just average but at the same time Nyla was very disappointing.

After the interval, second part is very lagging. It's a gangster movie at the same time this film give some importance to love, family and attraction. Intro of the hero was very outstanding..

As my opinion I must say it's just an average movie which can be watched once.

Let's see...

When you have Dulqeer Salmaan on screen and an ensemble cast featuring Shabeer Kallarakkal, Prassana and Aishwarya Lekshmi, expectations are high. Alas, it was a case of wrong expectations. The movie had everything going for it on the drawing board - a gangster saga, a hero who's a brilliant actor, a stylish villain but it was all unravelled by a single fatal mistake. The movie is so slow that one can sleep through it and still wouldn't have missed anything.

On the positives - The background score by Jakes Bejoy is as good as it can be.

The movie is strictly for DQ fans.

As a producer, DQ had the tools to create a cult gangster classic, he has fluffed it & he knows it.

DQ screen presence was awesome however the script was very weak. 2nd half was too lagging. I kept looking the time, why is not getting over. When you do a pan indian release expecially a south indian movie people expect a minimum quality to the script. I wonder if Abhilash showed the script to his dad just to take a opinion.

I couldn't also stop noticing Gokul Suresh was only in police uniform entire 2nd half and his looks remind you of old Suresh Gopi. Music and bgm were top notch. Aishwarya lakshmi was wasted. Soubin was hardly in the movie for 5 minutes, either way that is OK because he can can really annoying with his stereotype acting.

Abhilash you had all the right ingredients just you dint do right. Anyway long way for you to go and do things right next time.

A decent one, unlike the negative reviews. I went to watch the movie with zero expectations because of the negative reviews. The movie was okay for me but not up to the hype of the movie. The main highlight of the movie is the background music, which tries to elevate the scenes to the maximum but still lacks something. Dq did good and tried to do the best he could as the king of Kotha. The color grading and some of the shots in the movie were great. The intro scene of Dq had suspense and was worth the wait.

But the interval scene or why he leaves Kotha was not convincing enough for me as it lacks a proper strong reason or the reason shown was not done well enough to make us believe that he should leave Kotha. The second intro and all that followed afterward were okay. The film had every element for a mass masala movie, a love track, some comedy, mass scenes everything, but in the almost 3-hour run time of the movie, most is basically a slow story unfolding. Some of the dialogue was clearly heavy, and some were cringe worthy. Altogether this is a one time watchable movie with inspiration from other such mass movies and a heavy John Wick inspiration in the action scene department and one might like it or not according to their preferences.

Just an Average movie. But as compared to the tamil movie BEAST this is far better.

This is a Drama, Crime movie so some people may feel lag while watching. As a film lover I didnt feel any big lag in it. Way of presenting the story is very bad. Story is very common. Second half is really boring. I feel too much violence from the hero in this movie to portray him as a deadly killer and to get more claps (failed). In my opinion that can make in a different way. Watched in an old English movie villain killed his enemies with just throwing a Pen or Playing Card without direct fight.

BGM, Fight scene, Acting and Camera are amazing. Really appreciate it. This is the first DQ movie I dont like, all other movies from DQ are amazing. Still remembering Lalu, Charlie, Faizy etc. Expected an action story like KALI, KAMMATTIPPADAM, SECOND SHOW etc. Ie; People should remember the story and Hero. Hero should make an impact or attachment (connection) in the viewers mind. Eg. Rocky Bhai and Adheera in KGF, Kattappa in Bahubali, Pushpa, or RAM in SEETHARAMAM, If they are targetting pan India.

Overall - watch and forget movie.
