Manjummel Boys Review & Story
Some people say that “Manjummel Boys” is a great film, but it does not live up to the hype. It is a Malayalam thriller directed by Chidambaram S Poduval. The story is about a group of friends on a trip to Kodaikanal. Their fun adventure turns scary when they get caught in a dangerous situation.
The film looks good and the actors have done a good job. But the story is very easy to guess. If you’ve seen other survival movies, you may know what happens next. This makes it less exciting. Compared to other similar movies like “Thirteen Lives”, it doesn’t make you feel as much.
Overall, “Manjummel Boys” is okay. It’s interesting to watch, especially if you like suspense. But if you want something really special or different, you may be disappointed.
