King of Kotha

However, the stylised action and mindless violence, on their own, fail to compensate for the film's weak storyline and script. King of Kotha falls short in delivering a more substantial and grander action spectacle than what was presented in the first two acts, and despite Kallarackal's commendable performance, the character of the villain in KoK remains somewhat lacklustre.

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!

With the freshness limited to the visuals and the music department, the moments of high King Of Kotha achieve quickly deflate just when you feel the film has done its job. Sadly, there's only so much you can do with daggers and swagger when the runtime is close to three hours.

With 'King of Kotha,' Abhilash Joshiy has shown he is quite capable of handling action without compromising too much on quality content. 'King of Kotha' is not just a mass flick, but a film that does have an interesting storyline. Though the film gets a little predictable towards the end, the filmmakers have tried to steer clear from sticking to the old formula of mass action films.

King of Kotha, in the end, is an unabashed vehicle for Dulquer's superstardom aspirations, but it does not pack enough of a punch to become the crowning glory that it was intended to be. The script does have its moments, but such delicate touches that can add depth to a regular gangster flick are absent elsewhere in the film.
