The sensation surrounding “Manjummel Boys” continues into its second weekend, particularly in Tamil Nadu, where the film has made an unprecedented mark. On its 10th day of release in Tamil Nadu alone, the movie raked in a staggering 4 crore at the box office, surpassing any previous Malayalam film’s total gross in the region. Remarkably, this milestone was achieved in just a single day, setting a new standard for Malayalam cinema. Demand for the film has been immense, evident from its initial 50 showings on opening day in Tamil Nadu, which has now expanded to approximately 1000 screenings.
What’s even more noteworthy is that on its 10th day, “Manjummel Boys” outperformed its box office figures in Tamil Nadu compared to Kerala. While Kerala’s 10th-day gross is anticipated to hover around 3 crore, Tamil Nadu saw a staggering 4 crore collection. The film’s total all-India gross on the 10th day is expected to reach 8 crore, with a worldwide gross of 12 crore.
This impressive performance has propelled the film’s worldwide gross to over 75 crore within just 10 days. Anticipation for the following Sunday’s numbers is high, with expectations that the film will easily surpass the 100 crore mark in the coming week.
Joining the exclusive club of Malayalam films that have crossed the 100 crore gross mark—namely, “Puli Murugan,” “Lucifer,” and the 2018 movie— “Manjummel Boys” is poised to become the fourth. Additionally, “Premalu” also stands a chance to enter this prestigious club, with its current worldwide gross nearing 80 crore. The upcoming release of the Telugu version on March 8th will play a crucial role in determining whether “Manjummel Boys” achieves the coveted 100 crore milestone.
