The Malayalam film industry has witnessed a major breakthrough in the action-thriller genre with the release of “Marco.” Directed by Haneef Adeni, the neo-noir action film starring Unni Mukundan has taken the industry by storm. Released on December 20, 2024, “Marco” quickly garnered immense popularity, becoming the sixth highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year and the ninth highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time.
Marco OTT Release Date
Marco is all set to premiere on Sony LIV on 14 February 2025.
“Marco” became a sensation upon its theatrical release, attracting audiences with its intense action sequences and gripping storyline. Despite its A-rating due to extreme violence, the film grossed over Rs. 100 crore, a landmark achievement for an A-rated Malayalam movie.
Its success was so overwhelming that it prompted the filmmakers to release dubbed versions in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada. The Hindi version of the film, however, is yet to be officially announced. Now, with its OTT debut set for February 14, 2025, on Sony LIV, fans eagerly await its digital release.
When and Where to Watch Marco
You can watch this action thriller on 14 February 2025, on Sony LIV.
With “Marco” making its way to Sony LIV on February 14, 2025, fans are eager to experience the film again—this time in an uncut version. Many violent scenes had been trimmed for the theatrical release, and Unni Mukundan himself had promised that these sequences would be reinstated for the OTT version.
However, Sony LIV has yet to confirm whether the uncensored cut will be included, leaving fans in suspense. Apart from that, additional scenes featuring actor Riyaz Khan, which were omitted from the theatrical version, are expected to be part of the digital release.
Marco Movie Story
“Marco” follows the story of a criminal named Marco Jr., who seeks revenge for the brutal murder of his foster brother, Victor. The film starts with Marco living a peaceful life in Italy, but everything changes when he learns of Victor’s death. Determined to avenge his brother, he returns to India and soon discovers that Victor was killed by a ruthless crime syndicate led by Tony Issac. The rest of the film revolves around Marco’s journey of vengeance as he confronts multiple antagonists, including Tony’s sons, Russell and Cyrus.
The second half of “Marco” is particularly violent, with several action-packed sequences showcasing Marco’s fight for justice. The climax, featuring a showdown between Marco and the powerful villain Cyrus (played by Kabir Duhan Singh), is one of the highlights of the film. Director Haneef Adeni masterfully blends action, suspense, and emotion, making “Marco” a must-watch for action-thriller enthusiasts.
Cast and Crew of Marco Movie
“Marco” boasts a stellar ensemble cast that brings the film to life. Unni Mukundan delivers a powerful performance as Marco Jr., while other notable actors contribute significantly to the film’s success. The cast includes:
Unni Mukundan as Marco D’Peter, Siddique as George D’Peter (Marco’s foster brother), Jagadish as Tony Issac, Abhimanyu Thilakan as Russell Isaac, Kabir Duhan Singh as Cyrus Isaac, Anson Paul as Dev, Yukti Thareja as Maria (Marco’s fiancée), Riyaz Khan (scenes expected to be restored in the OTT version).
The film’s technical aspects also deserve praise. The intense background score, composed by Ravi Basrur, adds to the gripping nature of the film, while cinematographer Chandru Selvaraj captures the dark and violent tone of the story brilliantly.
Several fans have speculated whether the OTT version will include extra footage similar to how “Pushpa 2” had extended scenes when it arrived on streaming platforms. Some fans have even dubbed the release date as “Bloodentine’s Day,” hinting at the film’s high-intensity action sequences.
One of the key factors behind the film’s massive success was the performance of Unni Mukundan as Marco Jr. His portrayal of a vengeful criminal captivated audiences, making “Marco” one of the most talked-about Malayalam films of the year. The combination of raw action, emotional depth, and intense storytelling turned it into a box office hit.
“Marco” has already cemented its place as one of the most commercially successful and talked-about Malayalam films of recent times. With its OTT release on Sony LIV on February 14, 2025, anticipation is at an all-time high. Whether or not the promised uncut version will be available remains a mystery, but one thing is certain—fans of intense action thrillers are in for an electrifying experience.
As the countdown to the digital release begins, all eyes are on Sony LIV for further updates. Will “Marco” live up to the expectations with its OTT version? Only time will tell. Until then, fans can only hope that this Valentine’s Day will be packed with blood, action, and revenge in true “Marco” style.
