2024 has proven to be one of the most successful years for Malayalam cinema, with director Haneef Adeni’s Marco emerging as a major success. The film, which stars Unni Mukundan in the lead role, crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in worldwide earnings just 15 days after its release on December 20. The film, noted for its intense violence, sparked considerable discussion and controversy upon its debut.
The movie features an ensemble cast including Siddique, Yukti Thareja, Jagadish, Abhimanyu Thilakan, Anson Paul, and Kabir Duhan Singh. It is the sixth Malayalam film of 2024 to reach the Rs 100 crore milestone, joining other major hits such as Manjummel Boys (Rs 240.5 crore), Aadujeevitham (Rs 157.35 crore), Aavesham (Rs 154.79 crore), Premalu (Rs 131.18 crore), and Ajayante Randam Moshanam (Rs 107.3 crore).
The movie has also achieved notable milestones, including a record number of shows and screens on its release day in India. Additionally, Marco made history in Telugu-speaking regions by becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam movie on its release day, earning Rs 1.75 crore. As the film prepares for its upcoming release in South Korea, there are high expectations for it to secure a major opening in the East Asian country.
