Kondal

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!

The effort and the quality given to the movie was amazing. I think more than 70 percentage of the movie is short in the sea itself which is not easy. VFX is not that good. I am a fan of movies which comes out of WEEKEND . All of them were amazing. But this one is not up to that level. Mainly because the motive of the lead character to join the crew is not justified anywhere. As off movie he never knew the facts earlier. But later in the movie it shows the different way. The action from Antony is so good. Some scenes were amazing. He is proving that he is made for action.. there were some extreme emotional scenes..

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

A revenge thriller story well scripted and portrayed on the backdrop of tempestuous sea. 🌊🌊

The plot of the story revolves around the minor conflicts and vengeance inside a fishing boat that had a vital connection with the past incidents that happened in the wild sea.

The writer trio has scripted the story brilliantly packed with action sequences and heavy emotions. Ajit Mampally has conceived the idea and rendered the story through the characters and the vengeance and emotions were brilliantly portrayed through the naked eyes of the characters in the movie.👌👌

Pepe has again proved his mettle in handling action sequences in the movie. 🔥🔥Brilliant performances by Shabeer Kallarackal,Pramod Veliyanadu,Nandu,Rahul Rajagopal,Sarath Sabha,Manikandan & Dixon.

The action sequences in the sea were covered brilliantly by the DOP Deepak Menon like never before in a Malayalam movie and the hands behind the VFX,Aswin Sanfran and editing table,Sreejith Sarang is worth mentioning for hooking the audience into the movie. 👌Ajit Mampally has splendidly crafted his debut directorial with a brilliant casting. 👏👏

A clean revenge thriller with heavy action sequences,layered emotional moments which is worth a theatre experience for an edge of the seat entertainment.

Rating - 3.75/5.

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.
