In a remarkable cinematic journey directed by Chidambaram, ‘Manjummel Boys’ has emerged as a box office triumph. The survival thriller has witnessed an impressive surge in numbers following its outstanding opening week. On the 12th day, which was Monday, March 4, the film earned an estimated Rs 4.25 crore, bringing its worldwide box office collection to a close Rs 100 crore, standing at Rs 96.85 crore.
The film is poised to surpass the record set by ‘2018: Everyone is a Hero,’ a multi-starrer that currently holds the title of the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. ‘Manjummel Boys’ has demonstrated its box office prowess despite lacking major star power, featuring Soubin Shahir, Lal Jr., Sreenath Bhasi, Balu Varghese, and Ganapathy in prominent roles.

Noteworthy is the film’s commendable 34.73% occupancy across Malayalam cinemas on Monday, March 4, 2024. The success extends beyond regional boundaries, as ‘Manjummel Boys’ has triumphed in the Tamil Nadu market, becoming the first film to cross the Rs 15 crore mark in just 11 days, spanning 221 screens.
Inspired by a true event involving a group of youngsters embarking on a vacation to Kodaikanal, the film takes an unexpected turn when they explore the Guna cave, also known as Devil’s Kitchen. ‘Manjummel Boys’ continues to receive love and support, earning nearly Rs 10 crore on day 11, further solidifying its position as a cinematic phenomenon.
