Telugu Audience: How Did 'Manjummel Boys' Earn 200 Crores?

The Malayalam survival thriller Manjummel Boys has become an industry hit, collecting nearly ₹200 crores at the box office. The film's massive success has left many Telugu audiences wondering, "How did this movie earn ₹200 crores?".

Directed by Chidambaram, Manjummel Boys is a story about rescuing a friend who has accidentally fallen into a 150-ft-deep cave in Kodaikanal. While the film has impressed movie critics, many common viewers have been left wondering how a seemingly straightforward "save-the-friend" drama could have amassed such a massive box office collection. The question "Ee cinema ki 200 crores ela vachayai?" has become a topic of intense discussion.

The reason behind the film's massive success lies within the Malayalam version itself. In the movie, all the dialogues of the police force are in Tamil, and most of the leading cast do not understand what is being said. Only one friend acts as a translator, creating an emotional charge as the audience empathizes with the struggles of getting help in a land that doesn't understand their mother tongue.

This realistic scenario resonates with the Malayalam audience who have found the film's portrayal of the language divide to be a powerful and relatable element. Furthermore, the real-life heroic deeds of the Manjummel Boys were awarded for their gallantry, have also contributed to the film's popularity in the Kochi region.

Interestingly, the Telugu bookings of Manjummel Boys are also looking quite bright, and the makers might make good money over the weekend.
