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.

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.

" directed by Ajit Mampally, is a science fiction thriller that takes viewers on a complex journey through dreams within dreams. Starring Antony Varghese, this film challenges our perception of reality and time.

Get Out" is a brilliant blend of horror and social commentary that leaves a lasting impression. I would rate it 9/10 and recommend it to anyone looking for a thought-provoking experience.

While some moments feel predictable, the strong performances and emotional weight of the story make it compelling. A deeper exploration of supporting characters could have enriched the narrative.

The cinematography is straightforward, emphasizing the realism of their struggles. The score gently underscores the emotional moments, enhancing the film's uplifting message.

The movie is just wow I liked it the fights were so good there were so much efforts the technical department was so good especially the bgm the 1st half was just so good and the 2nd half too it's engaging and enjoyable but they could have improved the cgi and vfx a bit more in the climax. Don't expect too much and an rdx level movie just keep your expectations normal then you will like it it's my opinion and its just so good raj b shetty is not that impactful no special role for him don't keep hype on him for this movie. Overall it's a one time watchable movie a typical pepe revenge idi padam ok.
