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.

" 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 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..

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.

• 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.
