Plot

Victor, a blind person, witnesses the murder of his close friend Wasim. Despite his blindness, Victor identifies the killer by recognising the distinct scent of the killer's perfume and the vehicle. Victor's identification leads the cops to uncover that the killer is Russell Issac, who conspired with Wasim's elder brother Tariq, to carry out the murder. Tragically, Victor gets captured by Russell, who throws him into a vat of hydrofluoric acid, resulting in his agonizing death. Victor's brother George Peter, the patriarch of the Adattu family, is devastated by the loss. Marco, Peter’s adopted brother who had been sent to Italy for safety, returns after learning about Victor’s death. At Victor's memorial service at their local church, Marco vows to avenge Victor's death, declaring his intent to eliminate everyone involved in the heinous act, including Russell, who is present at the scene. Despite Peter's attempts to dissuade him from taking a path of violence, Marco remains resolute.

Meanwhile, Tony Issac, Russell’s father, manipulates the situation to his advantage and strikes a deal with Peter involving gold biscuits and a ransom, all while plotting further treachery. During Peter’s return from the deal, Isaac’s henchman Dev ambushes him in his car, reveals the conspiracy and fatally stabs him. Peter survives, but is hospitalised, further enraging Marco. Peter informs Marco that Tony and Russell were responsible for Victor's death. As Marco sets out for vengeance, Russell reveals his true nature by severely injuring Marco and using a chainsaw to mutilate the arm of Anwar, Marco’s right-hand man. An enraged Marco retaliates, killing Russell’s goons with the chainsaw. While preparing to kill Russell, Marco learns that Victor’s girlfriend Isha is pregnant with Victor's child and is being held captive by Tony.

Marco captures and tortures Dev, who confesses that Isha is with Russell, before dying in an explosion set off by him. Marco storms Issac’s factory, battling his goons in a brutal fight to rescue Isha. However, Tony deceives Marco, revealing that Isha is locked in the trunk of Russell’s car. Marco and Anwar track Tony to his guesthouse, where Tony attempts to bargain for his life. After learning that Tony is bisexual, Marco cuts off Tony’s hand and sends it to Russell, disguised as a suitcase full of money. In a final trap, Marco rigs Tony’s chair with a detonator, causing the bomb to trigger just as Tony is hanged. As Tony is hanged in the air, the bomb detonates, leading to his suffering. Russell stands helpless outside the warehouse and is unable to do anything, but watch as Tony suffers through his final moments. Peter kills Tariq by hanging him.

Desperate for revenge, Russell seeks help from his adopted brother Cyrus, a ruthless butcher. They launch an attack on the Adattu household, during Isha’s labour, and begin slaughtering the family. Despite Peter's valiant efforts, Cyrus and Russell kill all the family members, including the children, Marco’s fiancée Maria and Isha, brutally killing her and abducting her newborn child. Marco, gravely injured and helpless, is left to mourn his family’s death. Peter urges Marco to avenge not only Victor, but the entire family. Marco adopts a striking and fearsome appearance and confronts Cyrus and Russell at their factory. Marco fights through their henchmen in a bloody showdown, where he kills Russell by stabbing him and ripping out his heart. In a climatic encounter with Cyrus, who holds the newborn child over a vat of acid, Marco decapitates him and rescues the child before pushing him into the acid.

Marco completes his path of vengeance and leaves the factory with the child, while paying the ultimate price in the suffering and loss of his family. In the aftermath, Marco spends time with Victor's son until a platoon of cars arrive.

Release

Marco was released on 20 December 2024, coinciding with Christmas weekend. [32] [33] The film received an A certification from the Central Board of Film Certification due to extreme bloody violence. [34] For the same reason, Marco became the first ever Indian action movie to receive an R21 rating by the IMDA in Singapore. [35] [36]

Reception

Marco received widespread critical acclaim from critics with praise for its cast performances (especially Unni Mukundan), action sequences, cinematography, musical score and technical aspects.

Critical response

Sanjith Sridharan of OTTplay gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Marco is the closest Malayalam film to a Prashanth Neel movie, not in terms of scale or story, but style. Unni Mukundan's performance gets the lion’s share of credit for this too." [37] Aaliya Farzeen Ashraf of The Week gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Marco caters to fans of stylized action and intense violence." [38]

Arjun Ramachandran of The South First gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Marco is the most violent movie ever made in Malayalam. Unni Mukundan’s swag and stylish filmmaking are the takeaways of the movie with a predictable story." [39] Vignesh Madhu of The New Indian Express gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Marco is a result of the increasing acceptance in Kerala for non-Malayalam films with hyper-masculine narratives. Realising the market potential, the makers have dished out an excessively violent action film, which is a cocktail of films like K.G.F , John Wick , Animal and many other such celebrated works. [40]

Shilpa Nair Anand of The Hindu wrote "The movie scores on the technical aspects such as the stylised stunts, cinematography and background score; the writing, however, flounders." [41]

Box office

On its opening day, the film grossed ₹10.8 crore worldwide, being the fourth highest day-one grossing malayalam film in 2024, and one of the highest opener in malayalam cinema with ₹4.55 from the domestic market. [42] [43] [44] Marco became the highest-grossing A rated film of Malayalam cinema surpassing Kammatipaadam (2016). [5] In 3 days, the film grossed over ₹30 crore worldwide with ₹14.75 crore from Kerala. [45] [46] The film has grossed ₹25 crore in Kerala and around ₹50 crore worldwide . [47] In 10 days, the total worldwide gross collection stands at ₹68 crore, including ₹53 crore in its opening week, the film grossed ₹41 crore domestically and ₹27 crore from overseas. [4]
