Ever watched a movie so violent that it got banned on TV, but you could still stream it? That’s exactly what’s happening with Marco (2024), the Malayalam film starring Unni Mukundan. The CBFC refused to allow its satellite release due to its extreme violent content, and now they want to stop its OTT streaming too! Even Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan slammed the film, warning that it could promote real-life violence. But Mukundan defends it, saying—‘Violence exists in reality, and Marco only shows a part of it.’ The movie is now streaming on SonyLIV. This case serves as yet another example of how OTT platforms are being used to promote violence and vulgarity, raising concerns about the ease with which they evade accountability
