Malayalam Movie Manjummel Boys To Have Its OTT Debut In May: Reports

Malayalam survival thriller, Manjummel Boys hit the theatres on February 22, 2024. Within a day of its debut on the silver screen, the movie created a storm and shattered many records at the box office. Inspired by real-life incidents that took place in 2006, Manjummel Boys narrates the story of a group of friends who go on a vacation to Kodaikanal, where they explore the restricted part of Guna caves. Just like every other movie, the audience has been waiting to catch it on the OTT platform. There were reports that the movie was supposed to mark its OTT debut on April 5, but there has been a slight delay now.

As per the latest updates, Manjummel Boys was supposed to premiere on the OTT platform Disney Plus Hotstar on April 5. But it is still not available. There has also been no official communication from the OTT platform regarding the delay. This has left the fans and cine-lovers wondering about the cause of the delay.

But, looks like fans and audiences will have to wait for some more time as the movie may reportedly premiere on OTT in May. Movie analyst AB George shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), “Clarification on the news circulating on social media regarding the release of Manjummel Boys on OTT platforms: The claim that ManjummelBoys will be streaming from April 5th is false, according to the producers. It is expected to be released mostly in May 2024.”
