Marco: A Tale of Vengeance and Triumph
Imagine a world where justice is not just blind but also relentless. That’s exactly what Marco, an upcoming 2024 Malayalam-language action thriller directed by Haneef Adeni, promises to deliver. The film stars Unni Mukundan as the protagonist Marco, who sets out on a bloody path of vengeance after witnessing his friend’s brutal murder.
The Plot
Victor, a blind man, witnesses his friend’s death and vows to avenge it. Marco, played by Unni Mukundan, takes up this mantle. He tracks down the culprits, Russell (Tony’s son), who is responsible for Victor’s demise. The film unfolds with a series of intense confrontations and dramatic twists.
The Climax
Marco captures Dev, who confesses that Victor’s girlfriend Isha is with Russell. Marco rescues Isha and tracks down Tony, who is killed in a final trap. George kills Tariq, Victor’s elder brother. The film reaches its peak when Russell and Cyrus launch an attack on the Adattu household during Isha’s labour. They kill all family members, including Marco’s fiancée Maria and his newborn child.
Marco vows to avenge his family’s death. He adopts a striking appearance, confronts Cyrus and Russell, kills them in a bloody showdown, rescues his child from acid, and completes his path of vengeance. The film is expected to start filming in May 2024 with an impressive cast including Abhimanyu as the son of Thilakan, Siddique, Jagadish, Anson Paul, Kabir Duhan Singh, Yukti Thareja, Durva Thaker, and Riyaz Khan.

Ravi Basrur composed the music for the film. The first single ‘Blood’ was released on 22 November 2024, followed by a second version due to audience criticism. A second single ‘Marpapa’ was released on 29 November 2024.
The Release and Reception
Marco was released worldwide on December 20, 2024, and received an A certification for its extreme bloody violence. The film grossed ₹10.8 crore on its opening day and surpassed Kammatipaadam as the highest-grossing A-rated film in Malayalam cinema.
