What Anurag Kashyap said about the film:
Actor-director Anurag Kashyap is the latest to praise the recently released Malayalam movie 'Manjummel Boys'. Encouraging and lauding Malayalam cinema and 'Manjummel Boys', Anurag Kashyap wrote on the film diary app Letterboxd, "Simply extraordinary piece of confident mainstream filmmaking. So much better than all the big-budget filmmaking in India. Such confidence, such impossible storytelling.”

He further praised the industry and conviction of filmmakers to invest in such ideas. "I was wondering how does one even sell this idea (of Manjummel Boys) to a producer. In Hindi, they can only do remakes of such ideas. Hindi cinema is so far left behind with three back-to-back brilliant Malayalam films."
