By Chidambaram’s directorial ‘Manjummel Boys’, featuring Soubin Shahir, Lal Jr., Sreenath Bhasi, Balu Varghese, and Ganapathy in lead roles, continues its triumphant streak, grossing over Rs 220 crore in worldwide box office revenue amidst stiff competition from new big-ticket releases like ‘Aadujeevitham’.

ETimes awarded the film a rating of 4 out of 5, stating, “Manjummel Boys isn’t your average friendship flick disguised as a survival film.
