The Telugu film industry has witnessed a recent surge in high-quality dubbed Malayalam films. Last month, audiences saw the arrival of “Bramayugam” and “Premalu,” with contrasting fates. While Mammootty’s “Bramayugam” fell short of box office expectations, “Premalu” defied predictions and emerged as a runaway success story.
March’s second week saw “Premalu” compete alongside new releases like “Gaami” and “Bhimaa.” However, the Telugu version of “Premalu” held its ground, even impacting the collections of its competitors. This phenomenon serves as a testament to the growing appeal of dubbed Malayalam films in Telugu territories, and audiences’ willingness to embrace fresh content.
This trend has piqued curiosity surrounding “Manjummel Boys,” a Malayalam film scheduled for a Telugu dubbed release this weekend. The film’s prospects appear challenging, facing stiff competition from Vijay Deverakonda’s highly anticipated “Family Star.”
“Manjummel Boys” enjoyed a phenomenal run in Kerala, exceeding the coveted 200 crore mark and becoming an industry hit. It also shattered records as the highest-grossing Malayalam film in Tamil Nadu. The Telugu audience, known for appreciating good content regardless of origin, is eager to see if “Manjummel Boys” can replicate “Premalu’s” success.
However, a key factor to consider is genre. “Manjummel Boys” features a serious storyline, while audiences seem to be favoring lighter entertainment options currently. “Tillu Square” continues to perform strongly at the box office, and “Family Star” is also positioned as a complete entertainer.
The upcoming weekend will be a crucial test for “Manjummel Boys.” Can it capture the hearts of Telugu audiences like “Premalu,” or will its serious tone prove to be a hurdle? Only time will tell if “Manjummel Boys” can weave its magic and establish itself as another successful dubbed Malayalam film in the Telugu market.
