 Plot :

                                King of Kotha tells a story set in the fictional locale of Kotha, 1996, 

situated near the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border, known for its criminal activities. The 

land is introduced to viewers by Mohanlal’s voiceover. 

                               Although CI Shahul Hassan (Prasanna) had heard tales of Kotha earlier, he understands the grim reality only upon his arrival. Through SI Tony Titus (Gokul Suresh), Shahul learns about Kotha’s current king Kannan Bhai (Shabeer Kallarakkal), and his destructive drug empire that has devastated the youth. Shahul soon grasps Kannan’s untouchable status. At this juncture, Tony narrates Raju’s (Dulquer Salmaan) story – the former King of Kotha who left the area a decade ago. Recognising Raju as the sole person who can tame Kannan, Shahul hatches a plan to repatriate him and cleanse Kotha.

 

 Pros:

         Dulquer Salmaan Acting

         Background Score 

         Cinematography

         Making

Cons:

         Routine Gangster Story

         Movie Length

 

 

                        King of Kotha is Dulquer Salmaan's one-man show. The making is fantastic despite the usual predictable storyline. As the villain character is weak it is also reflected in the screenplay. Background music by Jakes Bjoy is a strong side of the film.
