Unni Mukundan is enjoying the success of his latest film, Marco, which was released on December 20. It has become the 9th 100 crore grosser of Malayalam cinema.
The movie has also become the top-grossing Malayalam film in Hindi dubbed version for 2024. However, some people, especially the Hindi audience, have hated the film for its excessive blood, gore, and violent scenes.

Marco is facing backlash for being too brutal. Many netizens expressed their opinions on social media.
One user wrote, “Marco is all style and no substance! It has the look, style, and great technical elements with some of the most brutal action scenes we’ve seen in Indian cinema. But the writing gets lost in all the blood. Missed the mark!”

Another user commented, “Marco is a below-average film. Stop hyping such mediocre stuff. Who watches movies just for blood and violence?! 1.5/5.”
A third user mentioned, “Marco is a nonsensical movie with too many slow-motion shots, unnecessary gore, and a weak storyline with many plot holes.”

There was also a comment suggesting that Marco’s box office collections are being boosted by a political party since Unni Mukundan is a BJP member.
Meanwhile, there have been rumors that Marco will stream on Netflix in multiple languages, including Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Hindi.
The movie is expected to debut on the platform after a 45-day theatrical run, likely in late January or early February.
However, recent reports suggest these claims are false. The official streaming details are still undecided, with an official announcement from the makers expected soon.
The OTT version of Marco will feature deleted scenes and an extended runtime.
