“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” This is a truth eloquently exemplified by the remarkable journey of the Manjummel Boys, a group of ten arts club friends from Manjummel, Kochi, who were destined for greatness. At the outset of the film, they challenge a rival team in Vadamvali (tug-of-war) that may have ended in defeat, courtesy of the opponents’ cunning tactic of loosening the rope. Yet, unbeknownst to them, this setback set the stage for a larger purpose.

Through diligent practice and unwavering resolve, the Manjummel Boys mastered the tricks, unwittingly preparing themselves for a momentous challenge. When their dear friend Subhash fell into a bottomless pit, the Boys’ unique skill proved providential. Isn’t it remarkable that they chose to play tug-of-war instead of any other sport and prepared throughout their lives for this particular moment? Call it destiny or kismet,...

Manjummel Boys has become the biggest Malayalam hit of 2024 so far. The survival thriller film is written and directed by Chidambaram. The film stars Soubin Shahir, Balu Varghese, Arun Kurian, Deepak Parambol, Sreenath Bhasi, Ganapathi S Poduval, Lal Jr, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Chandu Salimkumar, and others. The movie is based on a real-life incident that happened in 2006 when a group of boys met with a tragic fate at the Guna Cave of Kodaikanal.

The Malayalam movie received highly positive reviews from critics and movie-going audiences. The Chindambaran-directed film is doing wonders at the box office, not only in India but also worldwide. The success has been so humongous that the makers separately released a Telugu-dubbed version of Manjummel Boys in theatres last month. Even the Telugu version is doing well in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. However, many have been wondering when the movie will be released online.

Hence, it was recently reported that the film will also not be releasing anytime soon on any Ott platform. However, a new report states that the Telugu dubbed version has been pushed back to a new release date.

Malayalam filmmaker Chidambaram‘s sophomore film, Manjummel Boys, is based on a true story. Even though true stories provide an essential template to weave the story around, they also restrict the filmmaker from broadening his creativity. In Manjummel Boys, however, Chidambaram found a poignant plot and marvellously blends it with the cinematic sensibilities of the audience.

From its ordinary cookie-cutter introduction scenes, this film quickly transforms into a gripping emotional drama in no time. The film revolves around the members of a local club in Manjummel in Kochi. Located in the shadow of Ernakulam’s industrial belt, Manjummel is a quaint town. Its skyline is dotted with the smokestacks billowing black smoke. Manjummel Boys – ten ordinary, easy-going boys – are in their early twenties. They all work in and around Manjummel’s burgeoning small factories. They drink without care, dance at uninvited local weddings, and believe, like every other boy gang in the history of civilization,...

Chidambaram, who made his directorial debut with Jan E Man, is back with his second film, Manjummel Boys. The film is a comedy-drama that is set in Kodaikanal, a hill station in Tamil Nadu, where a group of friends go for a trip and encounter some unexpected and hilarious situations.

The film has wrapped up its shoot after 101 days of filming, as announced by actor-producer Soubin Shahir on Instagram. The film features a stellar cast, including Soubin Shahir, Sreenath Bhasi, Balu Varghese, Lal, Ganapathi, Deepak Parambol, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Arun Kurian, Chandu Salimkumar and Vishnu Raghu. Some of the popular filmmakers like Lal Jr and Khalid Rahman are also playing important roles in the film.
