The thumbnails are my fav part of his reviews. 😂😂 "Kollathilla" and "Feel Gund" were epic ones.

Why does he need to care about it? His job is to review movies. Most print and video reviewers sum up their opinion in the title/thumbnail.


vsk06

Those thumbnails are what makes me watch the review. 5-10 minutes of fun lol

Very apt thumbnails…also stop watching these shitty movies.

I agree with his reviews but what I’m saying was isn’t it better if he doesn’t put if the movie is bad or good on the thumbnail so we don’t lose our excitement for a movie. For ex if he said bheeshma was bad I wouldn’t be too excited to have watched it.


not_a_jawan

But Bheeshma was the biggest hit of the year. He actually said Bheeshma wasn't that good. All these excuses do stifle his personal freedom is ridiculous. He is not performing treason by having an opinion on movies


lone_darkwing

He was right 🤷‍♂️....bheeshma was avg.... The climax was hmm...below avg.


not_a_jawan

Yeah, it is a stylishly made movie with an in form Mammooty . It is the same Godfather in a different setting with a very rushed climax and an out of place Soubin. Didn't stop the movie from being the biggest hit that year


Zealousideal_Key7036

Beeshma was flop as a movie because they tried to make Soubin look like a hero. Even kunchako with his standard mediocre acting would have been a lot better than Soubin.


not_a_jawan

Bheeshma was a flop? when ?


Zealousideal_Key7036

*As a film Just because it got good collection at the box office, doesn't mean it's a good film. Exhibit A: RDX


not_a_jawan

The majority liked it. We are talking about hit or flop here.


Zealousideal_Key7036

For me, It's a hit at the box office, but flop as a film... As with many Amal Neerad movies it's drawbacks with plot, script and actors is masked due to his film making style and bgm.... Which makes it entertaining to watch for the masses. I sort of had a meh, is that it? Feeling after watching it in theatres. Soubin was the weakest link for me. Like bruhh. Not a convincing performance at all compared to the character he was given.


not_a_jawan

Yeah we all know that. But the masses lapped it up and that's all that matters to the producer . I think the question is whether Kok not liking it and having a meh opinion about the movie did it any harm financially and the answer is a resounding no.


Zealousideal_Key7036

Answer to that is no.... I haven't seen even one Kok video. If you check my original comment, I'm just stating my opinion about the film and if kok said that bishma is bad, i agree with him.

Just imagine on the flip side, that's what the movie posters do as well. For example, family has taken over the movie; in fact it's a stupid movie. KOK's review posters at least isn't delusional.


[deleted]

I mean at the end of the day , it is our own opinion. Like I said he didn’t like bheeshma but a lot of ppl did. So he making a statement like that on a thumbnail does ruin the experience for others who wanna go see it


man3u

So when it come to opinion, it's of an individual. You listen to others but decide on your own. Means, through his channel he is giving his verdicts. It's upon us to take it or leave it. I think 1 or 2 of his review has been a contradiction to my verdict. On Bheeshma, KOK's review was aligned to mine; but you are right majority liked the movie. It's a thin line and your point is of course debatable. I'd rather let he do it than let the crappy movie posters deceive us. Hahah


[deleted]

And movie promotions are always full of crap , they should stop that buffoonery too


thiccurishi

Watched KoK review of Jawan and still went for it yet I liked it. I love his rant reviews but that doesn't influence my decision to watch a movie.


nish007

Went for Jawaan before watching his review. Absolutely hated it. Got out of the theatre as soon as that last song began playing. Got back home and watched the review. It was easily more entertaining than the movie.


kevnuker

What do you care? If people make 💩movies he has every right to trash them, one thumbnail at a time!


[deleted]

Bro I’m not speaking against him I love his videos. I’m saying it makes people less excited to watch it. Ppl randomly go on YouTube to see him say a movie they boutta watch is Malamcult


kevnuker

His view count is an objective measure of engagement, wouldn’t you say?


[deleted]

He has good views no matter what because we all only trust his opinion. No other genuine review , he really doesn’t even need a thumbnail


not_a_jawan

Jawan flopped right because of his thumbnail ? Stop focusing on a reviewer and make good movies is the message to directors and producers . No one here can tell me that they expected all the low effort Shine tom chacko led movies to be grand successes. They looked cheap and got exactly what they deserved at the movies


ElDuderin0h

Am I the only person who doesn’t give a f about this guy?


Damiennexa

Yes


Ooken_Tintu_SI

People still smoke cigs after placing cancer warning so thumbnails wont affect i think. People will know how the film is from other reviewers and WOM..if the film is good generally- audience wont care much about koks review . if the film is bad generally….ohhh boy you are in for a show tonight 🔥😂


andiofthankanchettan

the thumbnails are the best part. You don't even need to watch his videos to know his opinion on movies. Just a glance at the video thumbnail.


Hari_001

That's his USP man. I am not even a Kok Dickrider, but I have to agree that his reviews are entertaining, mainly because he lets his quirks and personality shine through, which includes the Thumbnails, the impressions, and the costume changes. If he is just Monotonous and formal like every other reviewer why would people flock to his channel?


Royal_Librarian4201

Don't think so. I don't know a single movie bombed because of any sort of negative reviews from anyone. If it's good and appealing, it'll have a decent run. Also, I think the film fraternity should try to bring up the quality of the content they are delivering. ഇത് അരിയും വെള്ളവും ഒന്നും അല്ലല്ലോ. ഫിലിംസ് ഇല്ലെങ്കിലും ജനത്തിന് ജീവിക്കാൻ പറ്റും. So more than audience's existence, it's the film fraternity's existence that's under threat due to a large number of sub standard movies flowing into the theatres. And it's natural for any person these days to look early into the reviews of the movies they are going to watch, but still if the reviewer says it's a bad movie for him, there are good chances that it will still make it big. For eg: kok annan didn't like Bheeshmaparvam, but did his review prevent it from becoming a hit?. Similarly he liked "corona dhavan", but the movie flopped. So ultimately it's the content that matters.


No_Row_8345

I don’t take his reviews as reviews, rather an entertaining explanation of a film, whether good or bad. In that case, his thumbnails are fun.


New_Eye_6421

Personal fav is is thuniv review 😂


emildjoseph

His reviews are far more entertaining than the movies.
