An Ambitious Tale of Kerala's own Robin Hood
The whole rivalry angle between Kochunni and Keshavan (Sunny Wayne) which begins at the Kalari school of Thangal (Babu Antony) is well depicted. Another aspect that works in favour of the film is the correct placement of Ithikkara Pakki's character and the screen time allotted to him, neither too short, nor too long. Sunil Babu's production design ensures that the grandeur is seen without being outlandish, his experience of working on Pazhassi Raja and Urumi being put to effective use.(more)

'Kayamkulam Kochunni' has what it takes to bring alive all those visuals you had in mind, when you heard or read the story wonderstruck as a little kid
Rosshan Andrrews' Kayamkulam Kochunni narrates the highwayman's tale right from his childhood. It shows what pushed a father and his son into thieving, the casteist social order of the day and how Kochunni's mind was set on helping the poor. The film also touches on how his many aides later betrayed him and how he managed to ride into our legends and hearts, generation after generation.(more)

Nivin Pauly's film is about an oppressed community's liberation
Nivin Pauly's Kayamkulam Kochunni is the journey of a man who helped his people start a revolution against the oppressors in power. This struggle is not just important to understand what happened in the past, but could also be instrumental in changing mindset for a better future.(more)

A delicious entertainer

'Kayamkulam Kochunni' is a total entertainer and is here to loot the Box-Office!
