King of Kotha

Very glad to see a good Gangster movie was made without big Technicians ,big Artists and cameos. Really the movie took us to few decades before. Visuals are really good. Fight scenes were very realistic. The movie has only one song which was not very catchy , but background score was good.

Good to see Bike chase, car chase,more gunshots, blasts are not available in the movie.

Length of the movie could have been reduced.

Team could have added well known actors to the movie. That would have been superb.

If you are expecting more gunshots,blasts, chase, Hero's dance from the movie, then you won't like it.

But as a gangster drama, it checked all the boxes.

It is a gangster movie without big stars.

I am a diehard fan of DQ. But honestly I am saying that it's not boring and lag movie. But it's most of the scenes are predictable and time is too much. But the making of abhilash sir and bgm of jakes sir,songs by dabzee and asal sir was wonderful. And action of DQ was awesome. Mainly the second part is more better as raju madrassi. Anyway I also like shabeer sir as villain. Anyway one thing I wanted to say is that don't degrade any film. It cames to low level film due to the degrading happened by the first show. Otherwise it will run for more days than this. I don't think it's that much bad. It's anyway best to watch for one time for those who think it's bad by the words of others. If u watch it one time u will understand that.

It's a pity that Malayalam movies are being overly influenced by Tamil/Telugu films. Amongst movies from the south, Malyalam movies are held in high regards even by Bollywood for their superior stories & acting. Then you get these kind of movies that brings down the overall standard. The malayalee audience is far more cranial so they can discern quality from mass drivel. Now to talk about Dulquer Salmaan. He is a good actor in his own rights, given a good story. This kind of genre is not suited for him at all as he does not have the commanding on screen presence and physique that Mammotty has. Even with the facial beard and all he still has the urban boy soft look and not very convincing as a badass. So whilst experimenting with various roles, he should pick only ones that suits his personality. The story was kind of flat and one dimensional with no sidebar to it so it got boring after awhile. No comedy content to relieve the tension either. Due to the limited role you'll barely notice Shammi Thilakan, which is a shame. The bad guy seemed to have an unlimited stock of henchmen in his closet and that was an irritant to the watcher. The slow motion fights weren't too bad but that alone cannot hold the attention of the audience for long. The movie did not have the content to drag it for nearly 3 hours, maybe 2 hours 15 minutes at most. The ending suggested there could be a sequel, I certainly hope not, considering the first part was declared a flop.

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.
