The Malayalam movie Manjummel Boys continues its theatrical run in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and the Telugu states.
Released on 22 February, the film created history by grossing over ₹200 crore worldwide, the first-ever achievement for a Malayalam flick. Thus, it became the highest-grossing movie in Malayalam by surpassing the record of 2018: Everyone is a Hero (2023).
Meanwhile, team Manjummel Boys met Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth in Chennai. A picture of the film team posing with Rajinikanth went viral on social media.

It may be recalled that Rajinikanth heaped praise on the entire team after watching it at a special screening arranged by director Chidambaram.
Manjummel Boys was initially released in 43 centres in Tamil Nadu. However, word-of-mouth publicity helped it draw crowds to the theatres. Eventually, the screen count rose to 220.
It witnessed a phenomenal response in Tamil Nadu and became the first Malayalam movie to collect over ₹50 crore at the Tamil box office.
The survival drama is about a group of 11 friends who visit Guna Caves in Kodaikanal. One of them falls into a deep pit in the caves and is rescued by others with the help of the local administration. It is inspired by a real-life incident.
Director Chidambaram said the crew had a tough time filming the scenes in the Guna Caves.
He disclosed that venturing into and out of the caves was a fatal task they had to attempt daily because the tourist place was dark and slippery with deep pits everywhere.
While some sequences were shot in the original Guna Caves, the rest were filmed in a massive set created in a godown in Perumbavoor by art director Ajayan Chalissery.
Manjummel Boys was produced by Parava Films and Sree Gokulam Films.
Sushin Shyam’s music was a major highlight of the flick.
