The film has grossed around Rs 62 crore in overseas markets. When combined with its impressive domestic total of around Rs 120 crore, Manjummel Boys has reached an astonishing worldwide gross collection of over Rs 180 crore.
During its third weekend, the movie’s popularity continued to rise steadily. Ticket sales increased from Rs 5.5 crore on the third Friday to a strong Rs 8.9 crore by Sunday, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the movie. This momentum carried over into the weekdays, with consistent collections averaging a healthy Rs 2.5 crore daily.
The weekday collections remained strong, highlighting the film’s ability to attract viewers throughout the week. On its third Monday, Manjummel Boys collected a total of Rs 3.1 crore. The following day, Tuesday, the movie earned Rs 2.7 crore at the box office. Wednesday saw a slight decrease in earnings, with the movie collecting Rs 2.55 crore. Early estimates suggest the movie made around Rs 2.25 crore on its third Thursday. Overall, the movie performed decently at the box office, maintaining consistent earnings throughout the week.
Although Manjummel Boys was well-received in Kerala, it achieved massive success in Tamil Nadu, with many theatres still running houseful shows. The film surpassed the once-highest-grossing movie Pulimurugan in gross collections during its initial release days.
Directed by Chidambaram, Manjummel Boys is his second movie after the hit film Jan E Man, which featured Basil Joseph. The story revolves around a real-life incident and is a survival drama featuring a group of men from Ernakulam in Kerala. Sreenath Bhasi, Soubin Shahir, Ganapathi, Balu Varghese and Jean Paul Lal, among others, play prominent roles in the movie.
