King of Kotha (2023)  Story

1986:

In this era, we are introduced to Raju, a formidable gangster who holds sway over Kotha. Raju is not just a criminal but also a key player in the local football team known as "Winners Kotha." His life takes a twist when he falls in love with Tara, only to break ties with her later due to suspicions arising from her association with a journalist.

Things take a darker turn when Kannan, a close friend of Raju, decides to plunge into the drug trade. Raju vehemently opposes this decision, setting the stage for a conflict between the two friends. Matters escalate, leading to a violent confrontation, and Raju decides to leave Kotha on the night of the FIFA World Cup Finals.

1996:

The narrative shifts to 1996, where CI Shahul Hassan is assigned to Kotha, a city grappling with a narcotics epidemic. Shahul begins his investigation into the drug problem and quickly learns about Kannan Bhai, a notorious gangster who wields immense power in Kotha.

Shahul's inquiries about the enigmatic figure known as Raju unveil a turbulent past. Raju, it turns out, is not just an ordinary man but a retired assassin with a formidable reputation. Shahul's investigation further reveals that Raju receives a telegram, which draws him back to Kotha due to his sister Rithu being in grave danger.

From this point onward, the story takes a riveting turn with intricate relationships, drug trafficking, personal vendettas, and betrayals weaving a complex web. As the characters' fates intermingle, the film races toward an electrifying climax.

In the final act, Raju plots his revenge against Kannan, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown between these two formidable figures in Kotha's gritty, crime-infested landscape.

"King of Kotha" delves deep into themes of crime, retribution, and the intricate dynamics between its multifaceted characters, all set against the backdrop of a city plagued by lawlessness and vice.
