Thiruvananthapuram: Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan’s gangster action thriller drama King of Kotha’s Hindi dub will hit OTT streaming platform Disney+Hotstar on October 20, 2023.
The film, directed by Abhilash Joshiy and produced by Dulquer under his own production banner, was released in theatres on August 24.
‘King of Kotha’ is a story of organised crime, gangster thrills, drama, romance, and revenge. The story revolves around Kannan, also known as Kannan bhai, who rules the town with his gang and illegal activities.
A righteous circle inspector, Shahul Hassan, arrives and confronts Kannan, leading to his humiliation. Seeking unconventional revenge, Shahul resurrects Raju, a once-notorious criminal who once ruled Kotha alongside Kannan.
Touted as a mammoth release, the movie also stars other notable names like Shabeer Kallarakkal, Prasanna, Gokul Suresh, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nyla Usha, Chemban Vinod Jose, Shammi Thilakan, Saran, Shanthi Krishna, and Anikha Surendran.
The film was a failure at the box office, earning Rs 38.80 crores in total collection against a budget of Rs 50 crore.
While ‘King of Kotha’ was praised for its intense and well-choreographed fighting scenes, background score, character development, well woven and intricate storyline, it was also critiqued for its run time, pacing, slow narration, and overuse of violence to hide plot holes.
The film hit OTT on September 29 in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada languages.
