Malayalam blockbuster Manjummel Boys, which set the box office on fire, is arriving on the OTT platform soon. The film was theatrically released on 22 February 2024 and received widespread acclaim from audience and critics. It became the first film in the Malayalam film industry to earn more than 200 crores gross at the worldwide box office and set several records. It is currently the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever surpassing the record set by Tovino Thomas’ 2018.
The survival drama, written and directed by Chidambaram, was also unique because it wasn’t supported by any star face. Despite this, the talented cast comprising names like Soubin Shahir, Sreenath Bhasi, Balu Varghese, and Ganapathi S did a phenomenal job. The story of the film, set in Guna Caves, resonated well with Tamil audiences, too, as they could relate it to the yesteryear hit Gunaa starring Kamal Haasan.
The Telugu audiences, too, loved Manjummel, as it surpassed all predictions on its debut in the Telugu states, earning an impressive 1.7 crore gross on the first day itself. This achievement not only established a new benchmark for Malayalam cinema but also underscored the film’s broad popularity, with over 35,000 tickets sold outside its regional audience base in a single day.
Globally, the film has already crossed 230 crores gross at the worldwide box office and is expected to churn out more numbers.
So now to the burning question: When is it debuting on OTT?
Amid the dream run at the box office, Manjummel Boys is all set to arrive on Disney+Hotstar on May 3rd, in all languages. So mark your calendars if you are planning to watch the film in the comfort of your home.
