The Malayalam action thriller Marco, starring Unni Mukundan, has taken the box office by storm since its release. The film, known for its intense action sequences, has grossed over Rs 100 crore worldwide and is currently dominating the Kerala box office. After its release in Malayalam and Hindi on December 20, the movie quickly gained traction, and a Telugu version was launched on January 1, continuing its strong performance. However, rumors regarding the movie’s potential OTT release have been circulating, prompting the producers to clarify the situation.
Directed by Hanif Adeni, Marco has garnered significant attention, not just for its gripping storyline but also for its violent and raw action scenes. With fans eager for more, speculations about the movie's streaming release on OTT platforms began to spread. To address these rumors, producer Sharif Muhammed took to social media to provide clarity.
In a statement shared with the public, Sharif confirmed that no agreements have been made regarding an OTT release for Marco. He highlighted that the team has not yet signed a digital streaming deal with any platform. The producer further urged fans to enjoy the movie in theaters, assuring them that any updates about an OTT release will be communicated officially.
Despite a slow start, Marco has gained popularity, with word-of-mouth praise driving its box office performance. The movie, made on a budget of approximately Rs 30 crore, has exceeded expectations, with its total worldwide gross collection surpassing Rs 100 crore. The film’s success has also extended beyond Kerala, with strong showings in Telugu-speaking regions.
Alongside Unni Mukundan, the film features notable performances from Siddiqui, Kabir Duhan Singh, Jagadish, Abhimanyu Thilakan, and Yukti Tareja. The film’s success can be attributed not only to its star power but also to its gripping narrative and high-octane action sequences. However, Marco has also sparked discussions due to its graphic violence, with some viewers advising caution for sensitive audiences.
Marco has earned a reputation as one of the most violent movies in India, with some comparing its intensity to films like Animal and Kill. The brutal action scenes have been a major talking point, with many social media users cautioning against viewing for those uncomfortable with graphic content. The film’s music, composed by Ravi Basrur, complements its intense atmosphere.
