When it comes to action-packed movies, South Indian cinema has a reputation for pushing boundaries. Amid the buzz surrounding Pushpa 2, another film has managed to steal the spotlight—Marco. This Malayalam film is making waves not for its story but for its intense violence and jaw-dropping action sequences.
Marco movie has become the talk of the town, with audiences hailing it as the new action benchmark of South Indian cinema. But does this film truly have what it takes to challenge Pushpa 2? Let’s dive in and find out.
Released on December 20, 2024, Marco took the audience by storm with its gripping action and raw intensity. Initially launched in Malayalam and Hindi, the film is now gearing up for a Telugu release on January 1, 2025, following its immense success in the other languages.
Impressive Opening Numbers: Marco collected ₹10 crore on its first day and surpassed ₹30 crore globally over its first weekend.
Violence That Stands Out: Described by viewers as one of the most violent films in recent memory, Marco is said to outshine Bollywood’s Kill and Animal in terms of brutality.
A Tough Contender for Pushpa 2
Pushpa 2 has set high expectations with its massive fan following and iconic characters. However, Marco’s unique appeal lies in its unapologetically intense action sequences and gripping performances by Unni Mukundan and an ensemble cast. The film’s bold storytelling and ambitious execution have positioned it as a strong contender in the South Indian action film genre.
