Tamil Filmmakers Venkat Prabhu, Pa Ranjith Praise Malayalam Film Manjummel Boys

Malayalam film Manjummel Boys, starring actors Soubin Shahir, Sreenath Bhasi and Balu Varghese, released at the cinemas on February 22 this year. It has received a phenomenal response from the audience and critics alike. Chidambaram has written and directed this film. It has also crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office, which is the biggest success for a Malayalam film in Tamil Nadu. Manjummel Boys has now received praise from all quarters, including directors like Venkat Prabhu and Pa Ranjith. Venkat and Ranjith talked about their views at the promotional event of the film J Baby. Venkat said, “I am so proud of the success of Manjummel Boys in Tennessee. At a time when hero-heroine films work well, it is commendable to see a film with no heroine but only a bunch of boys working better than our films in Tamil Nadu. This proves that language is not important; only art matters.”

Pa Ranjith also applauded Manjummel Boys, saying that it is a very simple film with no unnecessary songs for the actors. According to him, the film formed an emotional connection with the cinemagoers with just one song in the climax.

Manjummel Boys also hit the headlines some time back for being the first Malayalam film to mint Rs 15 crore In Tamil Nadu. Film industry tracker, AB George, informed the audience about this update on Twitter.

Manjummel Boys has become the first Malayalam blockbuster of 2024. Social media users have applauded the film for being a gripping survival thriller and a heartwarming tale of friendship. The fact that Manjummel Boys is based on a true story adds to its allure and keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. This film is based on a real-life incident that happened in 2006 when a group of 11 friends had the scariest experience of their lives in Kodaikanal. While exploring the Guna caves, one of the youngsters named Subhash Chandran had fallen into a pit. At that moment, Siju David — also known as Kuttan — came forward to risk everything to go over 85 feet down and save Subhash.
