Manjummel Boys Movie Story plot and Rating
Story Plot :
In 2006, a group of friends from an arts club in Kochi leave on a trip to Kodaikanal in the neighbouring state, Tamil Nadu. They explore Kodaikanal and before leaving, one of the friends tells about Guna Caves, a place where the film Gunaa was shot. Inebriated, high and happy, the friends reach Guna Caves and decide to explore the restricted areas of the caves by themselves despite a warning from Dominic, a tourist guide. Though there are signs of a lurking danger, the friends explore further. Upon reaching a point, a few friends decide to write down their group name "Manjummel Boys" on the rocks within the cave.
After writing it on the wall, the friends call out to show the remaining guys who are exploring on the other sides to take a picture and they all regroup. Subhash, one of the friends, falls into a covered hole in the ground while moving towards them. Initially everyone assumes he is pranking, but as he does not respond even after calling out to him multiple times, they all start to panic. After the initial shock, a few of them run back to get help and others stay back and continue calling out to him in hopes that he would respond. They inform the locals of what happened and ask them for help, and they all suggest going to police station and the forest guard.
The locals also inform them that the specific area was off-limit to people for a reason and that so far 13 people have fallen into that pit and none were ever recovered, dead or alive. They mention that foreigners had called Guna caves as The Devil's kitchen for a reason and that this hole is over 900 feet long. Scared even more, the friends reach the police station, where they are beaten and filed an FIR for entering a restricted area. They are accused of murdering their friend and giving false complaints and no help is offered.
Finally after being convinced, and fearing backlash from the local people for failing to help, one of the police officers agrees to go with them to the cave. On the way, he informs them that the last person who fell into it was the former Central Minister's nephew around ten years ago and all the forces had gotten together to rescue him, but no one had been able to. The officer after inspecting the hole suggests that they leave Subhash as he probably is no longer alive, but the friends are adamant about rescuing him. But soon one of the boys hear Subhash's cries, informs the others that he is alive and the police are also convicted to try and save him. They try lowering a rope, for Subhash to hold, but are sceptical that he may not be in a situation to hold on the rope after a deep fall.
The fire department and more police officers are also called into the scene, but they are scared to go inside the hole to retrieve Subhash. Seeing this, one of the friends, Siju David decides to go down. The police officers are initially reluctant, but finally agree after being convinced by the friends and the locals. Siju is lowered into the hole, and but along the way the rope with which Siju is lowered runs out, and police are worried that its not safe to go any lower as there might be low oxygen levels, and they are not willing to risk Siju's life as well. But Siju says he can hear Subash's voice clearly and can also see him and that he can't leave him down there. The police arrange for more rope and reel Siju down more and finally Siju is able to see Subash lying on a ledge covered in blood and muddy water as it had rained before.
Siju is able to retrieve Subhash and the rest of the friends pull them up together successfully. After receiving first aid from the nearest clinic, they take Subash to the hospital in their hometown, where Subash is treated more thoroughly. They decide not to tell anyone about the incident and tells Subash's family that he fell in a waterfall. Subash suffers trauma from the fall and is not able to sleep initially, but slowly starts recovering after going to trauma therapy. Later, the news that Siju saved Subhash comes out from a person who went to Tamil Nadu and Siju is applauded for his bravery. Two years later he is awarded a medal which is shown along with the photos and story of the real manjummel boys in post credits.
