A brilliant work from Antony sir! An incredible slow burn movie with raw action👏🏻 This movie deserves much more recognition than this! A super work from the director Ajith Mampally🙌🏻😃 watch with low expectations which may lead you to a very interesting side of this movie.
The plot itself wasn't that fresh but it still felt good watching it, it has many realistic senses and the direction and effects were so good and most of the actors did an excellent work. A plot twist I never expected but got amazed at, the movie changed the whole point of view I had for it and turned it upside down! Antony work in Kondal was so good which makes me want to see more of his work in the future. AMAZING!😌👏🏻
The movie itself was raw and by that I mean it belongs more to the mature type of people. If you're looking for action, emotional depth and revenge based movie, Kondal does a fantastic one!

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.

Weekend blockbusters delivered another Enjoyable Action movie ; set in the Backdrops of Sea, majority of scenes are shot in sea gave a fresh feel and use of VFX IS ok ; especially the Shark scene crafted pretty well in respect to its limited Budget !
Editing is the problem i felt the main issue here, too many unnecessary long stretched scenes, a lesser runtime could have been more impactful and the conflict between the lead actors did not passed to audience to feel the emotion well !
BGM and Cinematography is Good and Actions are Nicely done AND Antony shown his Swag in mass role and all other actors did fine!
If you want actions in New setting ,this one is Pretty Decent option to Watch it in Big screen !

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.
- The main character "Manuel" lives in a village- After getting into trouble, he decides to work on a fishing ship- He goes to work on the ship with about 15 crew members.- A death occurs, due to which the crew members get scared and get divided into two groups.
- After this, the story takes a new interesting turn and further events are shown in the movie.- Further, Jake reveals some new twists about Manuel's brother Daniel, then his revenge mode starts.
80% of the movie has been shot in the sea.
Sea scenes have been shown very well.
Mysterious things have been shown.
The scene with a fish is very beautiful.
First half Decent and second half Good Good Presentation Good Treatment Overall "Kondal is a best-made, #decent-#good to watch gripping sea thriller movie👍👍🤙 from a fisherman's side which depicts the life of a fisherman. Manual's story is full of trouble, fear, and mystery which will keep you glued to your seat."
Although Kondal had the ingredients to be a decent revenge film,While some moments feel predictable, the strong Performance.
