King of Kotha Movie Review: 

In this narrative, the stringent police officer Shakul (played by Prasanna) finds himself replaced in a town overrun by lawless miscreants. Among them, Kannan Bhai, portrayed by Shabeer, subjects Shakul to humiliation. Despite establishing his own potent faction, Shakul is determined to rid the town of Kannan Bhai's menace. Seeking vengeance, Shakul learns of Raju (Dulquer Salmaan), a former associate of Gothai's gang, who now garners public support and was once Kannan Bhai's closest friend.

To dismantle Kannan Bhai and his ruthless K-Team, Shakul locates Raju, who had long abandoned the gang life. Raju's arrival not only brings his vibrant rowdy persona but also resonates with the emotional sequences. In the flashback scenes, his authentic body language and evolution into maturity in the latter half are evident. Dulquer Salmaan's portrayal, resembling a 'Prince', is both captivating and emotionally resonant. Meanwhile, Shabeer as Kannan Bhai aptly matches the protagonist's stature, portraying the life journey of a don, replete with highs and lows.

While the film initially captivates Prasanna's portrayal of the intriguing police officer, the character's allure diminishes as the story unfolds. Gokul Suresh, essaying the role of Dulquer's friend and a police officer, essentially mirrors the protagonist's trajectory. Supporting cast members such as Aishwarya Lethumi, Semban Vinod, Naila Usha, and particularly Shammi Thilakan, who excels in pivotal mass scenes, do justice to their respective roles.
