The movie builds up well in the beginning and creates good expectations. However, in the middle, the story revolves too much around the three characters, which slows down the pace.

Dheekshith Shetty is the biggest strength of the movie, especially in the negative shades of his character.

Overall, KJQ is a one-time watch, mainly for Dheekshith Shetty's performance.
