Stranded in Guna Cave: A Review of Manjummel Boys

Stranded in Guna Cave: A Review of Manjummel Boys  Last Friday, I went to see the movie "Manjummel Boys" (2024) with my college friends. It was one of the greatest experiences I've had in a theater. I had heard a lot of reviews from my other friends who had seen the movie, so I was very excited to watch it. Actually, the movie is based on a real-life incident. A group of friends embark on a daring rescue mission to save their friend from Guna Cave, a perilously deep pit from which nobody has ever returned. The movie is a full emotional roller-coaster, showcasing the true bond of friendship. All the actors did a fine job, especially Soubin Shahir and Sreenath Bhasi. The technical side is top-notch! It's a well-made survival drama experience on the big screen. The sound effects and visuals of Guna Cave are stunning. A highlight of "Manjummel Boys" is its authentic portrayal of Malayali culture, which enriches the narrative. The climax, depicting the rescue fro...
