Jio Studios in its first venture breaks the pan Indian trend and caters to the audience’s wish by making a film that primarily focuses on entertaining the Kannada audience.
Kotee rightfully symbolises this collaboration and has a refreshing take on a story that could have fallen the same old path of being a macho, testosterone-heavy action drama.
The film is powerful, smart, with a full-package hero who chooses to say no to going about the blood bath and gory road and instead sticks to his principles.
That said, there are a few elements that do hold back Kotee from being that flawless entertainer. One of the biggest reasons is the run time of nearly three hours.
Ramesh Indira excels as the villain in a role that is more than just a one-tone bad guy. Abhishek Srikanth in a limited role manages to leave an impression.
Kotee is a visual and audio treat, making it a good watch. This has a controlled amount of action, with a lot of emotions and some comedy making it a good family outing.
