Unni Mukundan’s gruesome action movie ‘Marco’ will soon be available to watch on OTT. It will premiere on SonyLIV on the 14th of February. But OTT audiences are not very happy with this.
Marco could have had a wider reach with audiences if it were to stream on platforms like Netflix and Prime Video as they have a bigger subscriber base.

It is a big miss for Netflix India, which is on a roll, acquiring back-to-back South pan-India titles like Pushpa 2, Devara, Kalki 2898 AD, etc. and the platform could have gathered a huge amount of views with Marco.
The movie has good word of mouth in the Hindi belt and it is being talked about as the most violent film to come from India ever.

Audiences are upset because they usually don’t have a subscription for smaller platforms like SonyLIV or Zee5 and having to subscribe to a new channel just to see one movie seems frustrating.
They cannot afford to miss Marco as well because it has an awesome buzz now and everybody is watching it. This seems to be a big loss for both the platform and the OTT audiences.
