Return type is missing in if condition. add return null keyword after the addmessage line.
if(con1.Status__c=='Complete' && String.isBlank(con1.Any_Remarks__c)){
apexpages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(apexpages.Severity.ERROR,'Remarks is mandatory'));
return null;
}
And on Visualforce page you have to use
< apex:pageMessages /> tag.
Another way you can achieved by Validation rule, or go to that field Any_Remarks__c and click on edit and check the required checkbox, no need to write apex code.
Validation rule like this
AND(Isblank(Any_Remarks__c), TEXT(Status__c)="Complete")
if Status__c is picklist field then your validation rule like this
AND(Isblank(Any_Remarks__c),ISPICKVAL(Status__c, "Complete")

Since you want to show the message in VFP so declare <apex:pageMessages id="appMessages"/>
and use rerender
to display that.
Otherwise,apexpages.addMessage()
will collect the message but couldn't able to display that.
<apex:pageMessages id="appMessages"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!con1.Status__c}" />
<apex:inputField value="{!con1.Any_Remarks__c}" />
<apex:commandButton value="save" action="{!saveActivity}" reRender="appMessages"/>
Controller
Use a logic to verify apexpages.hasMessages()
before performing DML statement, so that you can add other error messages through apexpages.addMessage()
public PageReference saveActivity()
{
if(con1.Status__c=='Complete' && con1.Any_Remarks__c=='')
{
apexpages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(apexpages.Severity.ERROR,'Remarks is mandatory'));
}
//add more validation rule if that is required.
if(!apexpages.hasMessages())
{
insert con1;
}
return null;
}

You have to return null after checking for validation. This will make your page-messages show up on VF page. As per your current code you are checking and still inserting record.
public PageReference saveActivity(){
if(con1.Status__c=='Complete' && String.isBlank(con1.Any_Remarks__c)){
apexpages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(apexpages.Severity.ERROR,'Remarks is mandatory'));
return null;
}
insert con1;
}
