‘Kolamavu Kokila’ review: a quirky, ridiculous and fun film

The Hindu  

Around 20 minutes into Kolamavu Kokila, there’s a passing shot of the three women of the house, sitting in line, combing each other’s hair. This is one of the dozen such moments that make Kolamavu Kokila a special film;and it’s not the least because it’s ‘female centric’ film. Kolamavu Kokila Genre: Dark comedy Director: Nelson Cast: Nayanthara, Yogi Babu, Saranya Ponvannan Storyline: The elder daughter of a family turns to crime to save her mother from dying Drug smuggling is something Kokila is forced to take up once she is told of her mother’s cancer and has no other way to earn the Rs.15 lakh it would cost for her treatment. There’s a hilarious five-minute stretch, which is essentially one long rape joke, where the entire family gets together to kill one gangster after another.
