Review by: K. R. Rejeesh
Dulquer Salmaan's action-packed drama revolves around betrayal and revenge within friendships, set against the backdrop of gangster dominance in a locale named Kotha. The film, while formulaic and foreseeable, serves as a platform for Dulquer Salmaan's transition into an action hero.

Dulquer’s swag and strong performances make this a mass entertainer.

‘King of Kotha’ suffers from the same old problem of not knowing how much is too much. Short of becoming a cult gangster classic, it does have the mass appeal and the ability to hold its audience captive for a long time. It just doesn’t know when to stop.

Director Abhilash Joshiy's 'King of Kotha' is a gangster drama that suffers from predictability. The Dulquer Salmaan-starrer stands tall because of its music and cinematography.

With the freshness limited to the visuals and the music department, the moments of high King of Kotha achieve quickly deflate just when you feel the film has done it's job. Sadly, there's only so much you can do with daggers and swagger when the runtime is close to three hours.

Review by: S.R. Praveen - The Hindu
Dulquer Salmaan’s gangster flick is held down by its script. Abhilash Joshiy’s directorial is an unabashed vehicle for Dulquer’s superstardom aspirations, but it does not pack enough of a punch to become the crowning glory that it was intended to be.

The only high that I personally experienced in the film is because of the brilliant cinematography and promising music. The film as a whole, however, has left me disappointed because here is a film that could have gone big with its bromance and noir treatment, but all we experienced was shallow mass moments, and scenes strung together to make a passable story.

A generic gangster film that ignored its character-driven possibilities. It needed refined writing with nuances to establish the equations between the numerous characters in that story.

The stage is set for a compelling drama punctuated by bursts of action. But what we end up with is a generic slo-mo action movie with occasional bursts of drama.

Dulquer Salmaan-starrer is a disappointment that is visually stunning.
