The Malayalam movie “Manjummel Boys” has taken the box office by storm, becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam movie of all time. But the story behind the film is even more interesting – it’s based on an actual incident from 2006.
The film revolves around a group of friends from Manjummel who go on a trip to the Kodaikanal hill station in Tamil Nadu. Their adventure takes a dangerous turn when they decide to explore the restricted areas of the Guna Caves. One of the friends, Subhash (played by Srinath Bhasi in the film), falls into a deep pit.
What follows is a test of friendship and resilience as Subhash’s friends work tirelessly to save him. Director M.T. Chidambaram, in this film, depicts the importance of friendship and resilience during a crisis.
Real-life Subhash liked the depiction of the events shown in the film. He believes that his friends did heroic deeds and emphasizes friendship’s importance. The exciting thing is that even in such serious, complicated situations, the role of small, seemingly meaningless things is shown in the film.
For example, Subhash’s friend Sixon had the habit of speaking loudly because his office environment was like this. But this habit later came in handy in warning him and others about Subhash’s trouble.
What happened to Subash in Manjummel Boys?
The film “Mananjummel Boys” takes us on an exciting journey where a group of friends descends into the depths of the Guna Caves. But what happens when one of them, Subhash, gets lost in the darkness?
In the beginning, Subhash explores the caves with his friends. In a moment, he moves a little and goes to write the year on the cave wall. But suddenly, he loses his balance and falls into an unknown crevice.
Subhash’s friends panic and become desperate to save him. They discover that the situation is dire – Subhash is trapped hundreds of feet below, injured and alone. With limited resources and little hope, the group creates a risky rescue plan.
The friends descend a dangerous well with the help of a rope, getting closer to Subhash. The film depicts the physical and emotional effects of this rescue effort. They face low oxygen supply, claustrophobia, and the fear of making another mistake.
With determination and a little luck, Subhash is eventually pulled out safely. But this incident leaves him traumatized. The friends return home terrified but forever connected by this terrifying experience.
Subhash’s physical wounds heal, but the emotional scars become a constant memory of his encounter with death in the Guna caves.
Did the real Manjummel Boys play Tug of War?
The Malayalam movie “Manjummel Boys” has impressed people a lot. The friends’ courage and bravery in saving their friend from danger are shown. But one scene sparked a lot of debate – the tug-of-war competition.
According to interviews with the real-life Manjummel Boys, it does not appear that this actually happened. The film symbolizes the rescue efforts by having the friends show their strength and teamwork in a tug of war, but this is the director’s creativity.
The director may have included the rope-pulling scene to show the friends’ struggle and determination to save Subhash. This adds a layer of competition and brotherhood to the story, further strengthening the bond of friends.
