"King of Kotha, which I watched on an OTT platform today, had its merits such as a strong background score, impressive performances by actors like DQ, Nyla, and Shammi Thilakan, striking cinematography, and memorable moments like the 'Kalapakkara' song and action sequences. However, it suffered from pacing issues, a fairly standard gangster storyline that was too predictable, a lead actress with an underdeveloped role, and an excess of violent scenes."
