An intriguing development has emerged following the highly anticipated premiere of Dulquer Salmaan's "King of Kotha," a historical gangster drama hailed as the first genuine Pan-Indian production from the malayalam industry. The film appears to have failed in its attempt to reach a pan-Indian audience, despite its lofty ambition of doing so.

From the beginning, "King of Kotha" had to overcome enormous obstacles, especially when it came to pushing the limits of traditional narrative. Despite Dulquer Salmaan's significant appearance and a strong ensemble, the film's predictable gangster plot lacked the creativity and unexpected turns that pan-India moviegoers frequently desire.

The crew may have missed an important detail, namely the movie's running duration. Even though malayalam cinema is renowned for its leisurely-paced stories, a movie intended for an indian audience as a whole should ideally be optimized to appeal to a wider range of viewers. The fact that "King of Kotha" in this instance lasted over three hours may have tried the patience of viewers expecting more neatly cut storytelling.

The movie does have some impressive technical accomplishments, such as gorgeous cinematography, and an alluring background soundtrack. These technical accomplishments, however, weren't enough to make up for the film's flaws, particularly its commitment to a conventional storyline that fell short of providing the distinctive twists and turns anticipated from a Pan-India production.

While the goal of making a pan-Indian picture is admirable, it calls for a thorough comprehension of the tastes and sensitivities of a broad audience dispersed across several geographies. Most likely, the production crew should have kept to developing the movie only for malayalam speakers.
