Reasons to watch Marco on OTT

The prime reason to stream Marco, if you have a stomach for violent action scenes that mirror some Korean movies, is its protagonist Unni Mukundan, who plays the titular role with the right amount of swagger required.

While Marco is thin on the storyline, the performances of its villains, Kabir Duhan Singh and Abhimanyu Thilakan, as well as its different action pieces more than makeup for this. The background score by KGF composer Ravi Basrur is another reason, why the viewers found the thriller to be enjoyable in theatres.
