Review of movie Koothan

×

Rating:2/5

Koothan is the story of a dancer who dreams big in life. Raana (Rajkumar) is a dancer who earns his living by doing several shows. His mother (Urvasi), a junior artiste in films, is a nightmare for filmmakers, thanks to her terrible acting skills. He once happens to meet Srilakshmi (Srijita Ghosh), another dancer, at a competition held in the city, where the latter makes her presence only to settle some personal scores with Krishna (Nagendra Prasad). Raana and Srilakshmi become close eventually after meeting a couple of times. 

Quite impressed by the former’s movements, the latter’s sister starts teaching him bharatanatyam. Things were going fine till a producer decides to sell his house in the film city which his mother and other junior artistes considered lucky for them. The producer asks a huge sum from them when they requested him not to sell the house. Raana and his friends join an international dance competition to earn money for the same. Will they manage to pull off the contest which also has Krishna’s dance troupe? Will Srilakshmi take revenge against Krishna for what he had done to her?

The film, except for a few dance movements and the performances of Rajkumar and Nagendra Prasad, is a tiresome watch.
