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.

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.

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.

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..

• 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.
