Though Manjummel Boys was well received in Kerala, the film went on to become a massive success in Tamil Nadu, with the movie still running houseful in many theatres. The movie overtook one-time highest grosser 'Pulimurugan' in gross collections in the initial days of its release.

'Manjummel Boys' is Chidambaram's second movie after the hit film 'Jan E Man' featuring Basil Joseph. 'Manjummel Boys' revolves around a real life incident and is a survival drama featuring a group of men from Ernakulam in Kerala. Sreenath Bhasi, Soubin Shahir, Ganapathi, Balu Varghese, Jean Paul Lal, among others play prominent roles in the movie.
