Komaali Kings (transl. Clown kings) is a 2018 Sri Lankan Tamil language black comedy thriller film written and directed by King Ratnam in his directorial debut and co-produced by Ganesh Deivanayagam, Bawadharani Rajasingham, and R. Selvaskandan for Picture This Motions.[2][3] The film, starring Raja Ganeshan, Kamala Sri Mohan, Darshan Dharmaraj, Gajan Kanesshan, Niranjani Shanmugaraja, Sathiyapriya Ratnasaamy, and King Ratnam in the lead roles, opened to positive reviews among the audience after the first day.[4][5] The film also received praise from critics for its satire and comedy storyline.[6][7][8]
Komaali Kings is considered one of the rarest and most important mass-budgeted films in Sri Lankan Tamil cinema in nearly 40 years since the release of the super hit Komaligal in 1976.[9][10] Komaali Kings was one of the most awaited films in Sri Lankan cinema after its production was started back in 2016 with only 26 days of shooting procedure but there were delays due to unavoidable factors,[11] and was finally released nationwide on 23 February 2018 after 2 years of delays.[12] The film has both Sinhala and English subtitles.[13]
Recently this film won Best Tamil Film of the Year award from the Derana Film Awards 2019.
