Manjummel Boys Producers Put Mollywood in Big Trouble with Financial Disputes

The Malayalam film Manjummel Boys created a sensation upon its release, receiving unanimous acclaim and grossing over 200 crores worldwide. It now stands as the highest-grosser in Mollywood history, also performing exceptionally well in Telugu states and with its Tamil dubbed version grossing over 60 crores globally.

However, the success of Manjummel Boys has led to financial disputes among its producers over profit sharing. Originally released as a small-budget film, its unexpected blockbuster status has triggered these conflicts. Additionally, other filmmakers have raised concerns about black money practices in Mollywood.

In response, Kerala government agencies have stepped in to scrutinize financial activities in the industry over the past few years, potentially leading to significant consequences for any found irregularities. Adding to the controversy, legendary music director Ilaiyaraja has accused the film’s team of using his song from Gunaa without permission, bringing Manjummel Boys further into the spotlight
