Controversies
The film was in the news for its similar title with Thuppakki (2012). The makers of this film filed a case against the makers of that film for using a similar title.[2][3] Kalla Thuppakki was later denied a certificate by the censor board, citing its violent content, prompting the producer to approach the revising committee.[4]
Release and reception
The film was initially scheduled to release on Diwali 2012 (October),[5] but was postponed to 4 January 2013.[6] A critic from The Times of India rated the film 0.5 out of 5 and said that "In the end, [Kalla Thuppakki] misfires. The sloppy editing and uneven pacing only makes things worse".[7] Sify wrote, "The director Logiyas seem to be totally confused making this half-baked venture, which hardly entertains or is gripping. Net result- All smoke, no fire!".[8]
