The narrative unfolds around a group of friends facing unexpected misadventures on a vacation trip to Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu. The ensemble cast, featuring Soubin Shahir, Sreenath Bhasi, Jr. Lal, Balu Varghese, Deepak Parambol, and others, forms the heart of the friendship-driven story.
Spoiler alert for those who have not seen the movie.
A pivotal moment emerges when Sreenath Bhasi's character gets trapped in the cave. As others call out loudly, attempting to communicate with the trapped friend, a subtle but brilliant detail surfaces.

Balu Varghese's character, Sixon, known for his deep bass voice, becomes the key to reaching the trapped friend. When Sixon calls out, Sreenath Bhasi's character responds, showcasing the intentional inclusion of Sixon's distinctive vocal quality. Director Chidambaram effectively establishes in the beginning that Sixon is someone who has a high-pitched sound.
Meanwhile, Sushin Shyam, the film's music composer, emphasised in an old interview that 'Manjummel Boys' is a game-changer for Malayalam cinema. Proving those words to be true, 'Manjummel Boys' has indeed turned out to be a gem in Mollywood.
