King of Kotha is one of the most important movies in Dulquer Salmaan's career. The Malayalam star who is known for his romantic roles, tried to redefine his onscreen image with this gangster drama.
The Hindi version of King of Kotha is now set to premiere on Disney+Hotstar. This version will become available for streaming on the platform starting October 20. Dulquer Salmaan has himself dubbed in the Hindi.
Dulquer Salmaan's biggest release
King of Kotha generated quite a hype since the movie went on the floors last year. Touted to be the most violent movie in Duqluer's career so far, the movie promised to show the star in a new dimension.
The movie also carried the responsibility of ending a drought-like situation at the Kerala box office . As the industry failed to produce enough mass-appeal original movies, the stakeholders had to depend on star-studded movies from other states to keep the business running.
Also, the pandemic disrupted the production of several big-budget movies and the Malayalam film industry failed to cash in on the state's biggest festival: Onam.
This Onam was different with the release of King of Kotha, Nivin Pauly's Ramachandra Boss & Co and RDX. While Ramachandra Boss & Co tanked and King of Kotha managed to make some profits at the box office, the RDX exceeded expectations by raking in over Rs 100 crore in global ticket sales.
King of Kotha garnered mixed reviews following its release, affecting its ability to grow at the box office.
The story of Kotha Raju
King of Kotha is set against a small town in Kerala. The period drama follows the protagonist Raju, who aspires to become the sole ruler of Kotha. However, things get complicated when he gets heartbroken by a girl, forcing him to leave the town. When the safety of his family comes under a serious threat, Raju is forced to return to Kotha and finish some unfinished business.
The original Malayalam version along with Tamil, Telugu and Kannada versions are already available for streaming on Disneyt+Hotstar with subtitles.
