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!

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.

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.

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.
