Kondal

Kondal of 13 October 2024, a Malyalam film on Netflix. This film a wonderful thriller. Manuel(Antony Verges) comes back to his hometown from Middle East. He does not have any job on the hand. So he joins a team of other local fishermen to go for fishing on a trawler ( which was specifically built for shooting of this film). Before leaving, he indulges into fight with local goons who also are in the team of fishermen. It is revealed little later the reason of Manuel going for fishing. I have seen only in Hollywood films that these films are filmed for maximum time in the sea. However, Kondal, an Indian film is shot almost 90% in the mid of high sea. Here too, there are some good fights and other thrills. The film has been filmed with wonderful cinematography, performances and actions. A good film to watch.

My Review of Kondal (2024): A Solid Action Thriller with Flaws

Kondal is a gripping action-revenge thriller starring Antony Varghese. Set primarily on a fishing vessel, the film stands out for its realistic portrayal of life at sea and its intense, well-choreographed action sequences. Antony's performance is solid, adding depth to his brooding character. However, the second half loses momentum, with repetitive action scenes and underdeveloped characters. The CGI, particularly a shark scene, is subpar. Despite its flaws, Kondal is a visually compelling watch with strong technical elements. 7/10.

The movie is just wow I liked it the fights were so good there were so much efforts the technical department was so good especially the bgm the 1st half was just so good and the 2nd half too it's engaging and enjoyable but they could have improved the cgi and vfx a bit more in the climax. Don't expect too much and an rdx level movie just keep your expectations normal then you will like it it's my opinion and its just so good raj b shetty is not that impactful no special role for him don't keep hype on him for this movie. Overall it's a one time watchable movie a typical pepe revenge idi padam ok.

VERY WELL DIRECTED SUPERB SOUND EFFECTS.

Almost whole movie is directed on a boat all the scenes are excellently directed . I can't believe that the movie's budget was only 6 crore. No special story although but the acting of all the cast was on point and Antony Varghese Pepe is looking so sexy .. overall i would say it's a movie that k can recommend to someone who jus wanna enjoy a nice cinematic experience with superb audio effects and who doesn't wanna think too much.

THE ENDING bruhhhhhhhh nothing thriller but to watch that action with the sound effects just so awesome.. absolutely recommended.

This film is mainly set within the great expanse of the deep blue sea, something that has rarely been shown on screen despite the plethora of Malayalam films that we have seen till now based on similar themes. The moments at sea are interspersed with a lead-in with stories from the shore, and this does make for some entertaining storytelling, good action movie.

One of the standout aspects of Kondal is that 95 per cent of the film unfolds on a boat adrift at sea. With Antony Varghese leading the cast, it's no surprise that the film is packed with electrifying stunt sequences, and he truly delivers and the setting amps up the experience. However, for the audience to fully engage and cheer on the protagonist's battles, the antagonists must be convincingly vile. Shabeer Kallarakkal, as Jude, and Rahul Rajagopal, as Michael, embody such menacing characters that viewers will find themselves eagerly rooting for their comeuppance.
