ETimes Verdict for ‘Mollywood Times’
Reviewing the film, ETimes wrote, “Abhinab, who co-wrote it with Ramu Sunil, gives a refreshingly realistic look at life’s struggles. Refreshing because, though it could have easily gone dark, the writers keep the narrative buoyant and the hero never considers giving up on his dreams or giving up on true values ​​of compromise.” So the ideas are compelling, but the storytelling starts to get muddled, especially in the second half. The various hurdles that come in the way of Vineeth’s dreams are only from the strange way of working in Mollywood and it becomes tiresome. The SC/ST privilege bits feel surprisingly tone-deaf and unnecessary.”With its OTT premiere now confirmed, ‘Mollywood Times’ is all set to reach a larger audience and is expected to garner a cult fan base similar to Abhinav’s previous film ‘Mukundan Unni Associates’.
