Owing to the great response the movie garnered in the original, the filmmakers have decided to dub the movie in other major southern languages- Telugu and Tamil. The movie is now ready to enthrall regional film buffs from May 26. The movie is now officially the second highest-grosser of all-time in Malayalam.
The movie is a Malayalam survival thriller by Jude Anthnay Joseph, who wrote the screenplay with Akhil P Dharmajan. The film was based on actual events during the 2018 Kerala floods.
The movie made more than Rs 125 Crore within 15 days of its release, becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year and dethroning Lucifer, the second-highest Malayalam film of all time, to date.
While Jackson Bazaar Youth contains several moments and scenes that may feel contrived and lack a natural flow, debutant Shamal Sulaiman's commendable direction and the stellar performances by senior actors like Indrans, Jaffar Idukki, and Gopalan Adat uplift the overall mood of the film.
