Manjummel Boys, the popular Malayalam film released earlier this year, is set to represent India at the KinoBravo International Mainstream Film Festival in Sochi, Russia. The festival will take place from September 28 to October 4. The film will be showcased with a red-carpet screening on September 30, followed by a festival screening on October 1. Manjummel Boys will make history as the first Malayalam film to be featured at the prestigious KinoBravo festival. This marks a proud moment for the Malayalam film industry on an international stage. The KinoBravo International Mainstream Film Festival in Sochi will also feature screenings of two other prominent Indian films alongside Manjummel Boys. Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light, which won the prestigious Cannes Grand Prix, will be showcased in the Out of Competition: Festival Hits category. SS Rajamouli’s globally acclaimed blockbuster RRR will be screened in the Out of Competition: Blockbuster Hits category. These screenings further highlight India’s diverse cinematic contributions at the festival.
Manjummel Boys, now recognised as the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time, is a gripping survival drama based on a true story. It follows a group of youngsters from Manjummel, Kochi, who embark on a trip to the Guna Caves, also known as Devil’s Kitchen, in the hill station of Kodaikanal. What starts as a fun adventure quickly turns into a nightmare when one of their friends slips and falls into a deep chasm, leading the group into a harrowing struggle for survival. The film, produced by Soubin Shahir, Babu Shahir, and Shawn Antony under their banner Parava Films, has captivated audiences with its intense storytelling and realistic depiction of danger.
In addition to director Chidambaram’s masterful writing and direction, Manjummel Boys garnered widespread acclaim for its technical brilliance. Shyju Khalid’s breathtaking cinematography beautifully captured the haunting atmosphere of the Guna Caves, while Ajayan Chalissery’s production design added authenticity to the film’s setting
