    Manjummel Boys (2024) Review: Loyalty at the Cave's Edge

    Manjummel Boys is Chidambaram's Malayalam survival thriller about friends whose trip to the Guna Caves turns into a rescue, a gripping tribute to loyalty.

    Yes. It is a tense, big-hearted survival thriller that works as both spectacle and friendship story, though its loose opening takes a while to find its grip.
