Malayalam Cinema's biggest global box office grosser, Manjummel Boys, has now entered the streaming space. The film premiered on Disney+ Hotstar and is going through a new wave of admiration, not only from new watchers but also from those who have rewatched the movie. Written and directed by Chidambaram, Manjummel Boys is based on a real-life incident and is a survival thriller about a bunch of friends who risk their lives to rescue one of their own who gets trapped in a deep pit in Kodaikkanal's famous Guna caves. Manjummel Boys OTT Release: Netizens Praise Climax Scene and Music of Soubin Shahir–Chidambaram’s Survival Thriller!

When the film came to theatres, Manjummel Boys was praised for its direction, production design, cinematography, score and performances. Particular praise was given to how the movie uses Kamal Haasan-starrer Guna and its iconic song "Kanmani Anbodu" in its narrative, especially in the third act. Now, the fans have found a new scene to drool over in Manjummel Boys.

The scene is a transition sequence in which we see the protagonists as children taking a dip in the river. The child Subhash hesitates, but after prodding from his friends, he finally takes the plunge. Just as he hits the water, there is a match cut of adult Subhash (Sreenath Bhasi) falling into the pit, hitting the crevices on the way. Manjummel Boys Movie Review: Soubin Shahir and Sreenath Bhasi's Film is a Gripping Survival Thriller with Near-Perfect Execution!
