Laudable message, but does not tread any new ground
The film's portrayal of Kannur is not very different from the other films that have focused on this subject; a one-dimensional, joyless place where nothing much else happens. Other than movingly capturing the emotional toll on the families of the victims and perpetrators of the politics of murder, Kotthu does not tread any new ground. Its treatment of the subject often appears simplistic and lacking nuance. The film does not say anything more than the oft-repeated arguments in television debates on this subject, which is unfortunate, considering the laudable message against political violence that it carries.(more)

Sibi Malayil delivers a film that hits all the right emotional beats
otthu devotes a significant amount of time even to its minor characters, such as Vijilesh's Moeen, who ends up in a situation where he has to reflect on some of the poor choices he made. All the mounting regrets make these men teetering on the edge of sanity.(more)
