Manjummel Boys

The Malayalam original survival thriller was a massive box office hit and did phenomenally well in Karnataka too.

Based on a real-life story, Manjummel Boys narrates the daring rescue of someone who fell into a pit at the Guna Caves, from which, it was believed, there was no return. How his friends rallied together and managed to get him out is what the film is all about. While the theatrical outing did not have a Kannada dubbed version, it will be there for the OTT release.

Kannada films to stream this week
