0

Rating: 2.25/5
Cast: Dulquer Salmaan, Shabeer Kalarakkal, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Chemban Vinod, Prasanna Venkatesan
Director: Abhilash Joshiy
Produced By: ZEE Studios
Release Date: 25th August 2023

Story: Raju (Dulquer Salman) and Kannan (Shabeer Kallarakkal) are close friends, and they rule over the land of Kotha. During their gang wars, What are their differences, and how do they eventually separate? What is the connection of Police Officer Shahul Hassan (Prasanna Kumar) with both of them? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.

Analysis:

The film is a gangster drama that incorporates some emotional and thrilling elements. The director and team’s effort can be seen in the period setting and detailing in the background. The starting moments open with a few mixed details of past and present, and after that, the narrative moves to the flashback. In terms of story, there may be nothing new in the film and the narrative completely misses the grip/speed which the genre needs.

However, the slick taking and execution keep the audience’s interested in the proceedings. As said above, the workmanship is visible from the beginning. The local backdrop, period setting and visuals were impressive. All The actors were perfect in their characters. The moments before the intermission raise the anticipation for the latter half, and it also starts with a bang. After that, the film again goes on the slow path with a few good moments along with an alright climax which is a bit overstretched.

Performances: Dulquer Salmaan was effective in the title role, and he did what he was expected to do. Dancing Rose aka Shabeer Kallarakkal was fantastic as the antagonist. Aishwarya Lekshmi made her presence felt though she had a little scope, while Prasanna, Nyla Usha, Chemban Vinod, Gokul Suresh, Shammi Thilakan, Shanthi Krishna, Vada Chennai Saran, and Anikha Surendran were apt.

Plus Points:

  • Casting/Performances
  • Technical Excellence
  • Initial moments of the Second Half

Minus Points:

  • Routine Story
  • Dull Narration
  • Lag in the middle portions

Verdict:

Overall, King Of Kotha is a gangster drama that is predictable and ordinary, with a few high moments. However, the performances and technical work, can satisfy you if you choose to ignore the dull pace and lag in the narration.

Blockbuster filmmaker Boyapati Srinu has mastered the art of pleasing family audiences with mass action entertainers. Though he is a specialist in making commercial entertainers, he makes certain there is an adequate entertainment and family drama in his movies. He teams up with energetic and mass hero Ustaad Ram Pothineni for Skanda. RaPo is known for his high-octane energy and Uber style. He underwent an unbelievable mass transformation for his Skanda which became the talking point of many.

RaPo is seen in different shades. He excelled in both the looks of ultra mass as well as class. RaPo proved he is the best of both the worlds in these mass and class posters. In beefed up look and muscled body, RaPo nailed it completely. This combo and the content indicate that Skanda appeals to masses and family audiences in equal proportion.

Meanwhile, the makers came up with an update. The film’s pre-release thunder will be out on August 26th. Ram and Sreeleela share a sparkling chemistry in the poster. While Ram appears in a Panche Kattu, Sree Leela looks homely in a half saree. They are seen flashing beautiful smiles, as they enjoy the beauty of nature while sitting on farms.

Shockingly no offers for Baby actress Vaishnavi Chaitanya yet

0

Telugu film industry is a pretty volatile place. One hit can change the fortunes of the actors and bring them unprecedented fame and offers. We’ve seen so in the case of actresses like Sreeleela and Krithi Shetty who made debuts in 2021 and saw a string of films in the next year. The same unfortunately hasn’t happened for Vaishnavi Chaitanya.

Krithi Shetty, post Uppena was seen in Shyam Singha Roy, The Warrior, Aa Ammayi Gurinchi Meeku Cheppali, Macherla Niyojakavargam, Custody, and Bangarraju in a matter of a year and a half. Sreeleela on the other hand is still soaring high with a bunch of Tollywood biggies under her belt at the moment. After Pelli Sandadi, she was seen in Dhamaka and will be next seen in Guntur Kaaram, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Skanda, Bhagvanth Kesari, and films with Vijay Deverakonda, Vaishnav Tej, and Nithiin.

While her contemporaries are signing film after film, Vaishnavi Chaitanya, who scored a massive blockbuster with Baby hasn’t seen similar success in the project lineup. Even small or medium-budget offers have not come her way yet. Vaishnavi was just perfect with dance, emotions, expressions, and even comic timing perfectly in Baby. But, it appears that the luck is not on her side yet.
