New Delhi: Fans have been eagerly waiting for Dulquer Salmaan starrer Malayalam film ‘King of Kotha’. The early reviews have been posted following the first day of release. The audience, however, is not really wowed by the movie.
Abhilash Joshiy, an up-and-coming filmmaker, is the creator behind the period drama ‘King of Kotha’. Many people took to Twitter to offer their take on the gangster flick.
Here is what fans are saying about the film:
#KingOfKotha : A Paisa vasool entertainer with good amount of mass entertainment and a charming @dulQuer at the centre👏Nothing new in the storyline but the treatment and the making works. Superb performances from Shabeer and Nyla.
A sure winner at the box office🔥 pic.twitter.com/itgFQ6KhVY

#KingOfKotha – Predictable, lengthy & yet entertaining. Good watch.
King of Kotha, the story of two friends gone rogue at each other is a technically superior film with superb background score by Jakes Bijoy & excellent cinematography by Nimish Ravi. Director Abhilash Joshiy…

The Same Gangster Story Plot in a New Making Style… that’s it. @dulQuer‘s performance and #JakesBejoy‘s Bgm are the only saviour for movie. Story and Screenplay lacks the emotions to connect with the audience.
STRICTLY AVERAGE FOR ME.

#KingOfKotha [#ABRatings – 3/5]
Full of mass packed one man show from #DulquerSalmaan💥
Usual storyline with predictable flow but making was good👌
Antagonist character was weak which was let down to the screenplay !!
Jakes Bejoy BGM has elevated very well🎶❤️🔥
Overall the movie… pic.twitter.com/DsCysNqyal
