Kannur Squad, the crime drama starring Mammootty in the lead role, has received highly positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. The film, directed by debutant Roby Varghese Raj and written by Muhammed Shafi and Rony David, is a solid police procedural that unfolds at a measured tempo, avoiding excessive dramatisation. However, its notable resemblances to earlier films within the same genre prevent it from being truly fresh1.
The film follows Asi George Martin and his team as they go on an undercover mission to nab a criminal gang despite facing obstacles and challenges within and outside the law system2. The film has been praised for its realistic portrayal of police work, its engaging screenplay, its thrilling action sequences, and its stellar performances by Mammootty and the supporting cast. The film also has music composed by Sushin Shyam, cinematography by Muhammed Rahil and editing by Praveen Prabhakar.

The festive season of Onam has been a treat for Malayalam cinema lovers, as several big-budget and star-studded films hit the theatres. Among them, two films that stood out were Rdx and King of Kotha, both featuring Dulquer Salmaan in lead roles. While Rdx, an action thriller directed by debutant Nahas Hidayath, has already started streaming on Netflix from September 23, King of Kotha, a period gangster drama directed by Abhilash Joshiy, is all set to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar from September 28.
King of Kotha is arguably the first-ever Malayalam film to be made and promoted in line with the ongoing ‘pan-India’ trend.

OpinionThe current popularity of violent gangster films also lies in the fact that they are more suited for the pan-Indian formula – something the south Indian industries are keen to exploit in the post-’Baahubali’ era.Abilash Joshiy’s King of Kotha (2023), starring Dulquer Salmaan, is the latest gangster film to hit the big screens. Interestingly, it went up against Rdx (2023) for Onam, a film where three trained martial artists take on a local gangster group. A couple of weeks before these films came out, the big release in the south was Nelson Dilipkumar’s Jailer (2023), starring Rajinikanth as a former policeman who is at war with gangsters. All these films have heroes with grey shades, and use violence as a form of entertainment. For instance, in Jailer, Rajinikanth’s Muthuvel Pandian beheads a gangster in a close-up shot. The scene is written to emphasise the superstar’s swag and is meant to be darkly funny.

Directed by Abhilash Joshiy
Crafted with the sharp edge of a harpoon, King Of Kotha, is a brilliant bloodbath. Bestial and unsparing, it goes through several eras and auras of tansformations of skullduggery with transfixing passion.
Although it is the story of two goons who love to hate each other over a period time, it is Dulquer Salmaan’s Raju that holds the plot’s attention from first to last. With a cigarette swinging from his thick lips and curly hair as wild and untameable as the man himself Dulquer’s Raju comes across an epitome of sinster swag, though I preferred him with less swag in the second-half when he strikes a frightening forlorn figure.

OpinionLineage can offer a backdoor entry, and maybe a longer rope, but Malayalam cinema has made it clear that a director’s longevity rests on their craftsmanship, an urge to do something radical, exciting, bold, and original.In 1987, when Mammootty’s career had hit a roadblock, it was director Joshiy’s salvo called New Delhi that helped him regain his stardom. Mammootty rose from there like the proverbial phoenix, reinventing himself, reshuffling genres, and prioritising the actor in him. Thirty six years later, as Joshiy’s son Abhilash Joshiy - a debutant director - and Mammootty’s son and a bona fide star Dulquer Salman united on screen, the stakes weren’t exactly that high. Dulquer, with over 34 films in his kitty and a marked presence in other language films, commanding a box office initial next only to Mammootty and Mohanlal with an envious pan-Indian fan following, was just testing the waters.

Onam, the most celebrated festival of Malayalees, is also a time when movie buffs look forward to some exciting releases on the big screen. This year, three major films – Rdx, Ramachandra Boss & Co, and King of Kotha – competed for the audience’s attention and appreciation. Here is a brief review of each film, based on the ranking given by a user who watched them all.

The commercial flicks in the Malayalam film industry are, in most cases, overstretched and badly written. In the film industry, which is known for content-driven cinema, most of their commercially driven stories do not garner critical acclaim but are loved by the masses. Lucifer, Kaduva, and Kappa are some of the recent examples of action-packed, over-the-top dramas. The Dulquer Salman starrer King of Kotha is another addition to the list, directed by Abhishek Joshiy, son of the legendary Malayalam director Joshiy. On the surface, the movie is a gangster film, but at its core, it is the story of two friends.

One of the thumb rules of an enthralling crime drama is the wise employment of character development through various plot points to establish the milieu. Debutant director Abhilash Joshiy and his writer, Abhilash N. Chandran, have successfully created a world that features a large cast of characters who understand and respect the power dynamics between them. But as the story of the film advances, the focus on style rather than substance detracts from the overall impact and depth of the narrative, making the film appear marginally stylish and generic in terms of its subject matter.
The story of the film unfolds in the fictional town of Kotha, which has always been dominated by criminals. Kannan Bhai (Shabeer Kallarakkal), a dreaded and brutal drug lord, is the current goon of the town. Ci Shahul Hassan (Prasanna) is aware of the town’s descent into lawlessness, but it wasn’t until he...

ReviewAbhilash Joshiy’s ‘King of Kotha’ is teeming with ambition to put the Malayalam film industry on the pan-Indian map, but is imitation the way to go?Sibi Malayil’s Kireedam, which came out in 1989, was about an aspiring policeman who ends up becoming a gangster due to circumstances. King of Kotha, directed by Abhilash Joshiy, is a period gangster flick that’s set in the same decade, but you won’t find anything common between the two films – not even the shirt styles of the gangsters. And that’s the tragedy of our time. In the rush to make films that will appeal to everyone, we make films that are about no one. Kotha is a coastal town with a drug problem, and Circle Inspector Shahul Hassan (Prasanna) is transferred to the town to take care of it. The kingpin is Kannan ‘bhai’, played by a formidable Shabeer Kallarakkal.

While there were sparks across India’s various language-specific film industries, including the Hindi-language “The Kerala Story,” “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar” and “Zara Hatke Zara Bachke,” the Telugu-language “Waltair Veerayya” and “Veera Simha Reddy,” the Malayalam-language “2018” and “Romancham” and the Tamil-language “Ponniyin Selvan: II,” the overall box office remained sluggish for the first five months of 2023.
The Indian box office caught fire in the June-July period with hits including the Hindi-language “Satyaprem Ki Katha,” Marathi-language “Baipan Bhaari Deva,” Punjabi-language “Carry On Jatta 3,” Telugu-language “Bro” and “Baby” and Tamil-language “Maaveeran” keeping the turnstiles ticking over.

The first half of 2023 has been a dismal period for Malayalam cinema, as only two out of 56 releases have made profits from theatres. The rest of the films either failed to recover their costs or depended on other sources of revenue such as digital, satellite and overseas rights. The only exception was 2018 Movie, a disaster film based on the Kerala floods, which became a huge hit and the most profitable Malayalam film ever.
The main reason for the poor performance of Malayalam films was the lack of quality content and effective promotions. Most of the films that released in theatres were poorly made and did not have anything to attract the audiences. The Ott platforms also forced a theatrical release for their acquisitions, which resulted in cluttering the screens with mediocre films.
