As he works toward this goal, he encounters challenges that test his patience, determination, and commitment to his principles. Although he faced each struggle with confidence, he fell into more pitfalls – something a new filmmaker must face in this industry.
First day box office performance
Mollywood Times has also made a good start at the box office. According to Sacnilk estimates, the film opened 954 times in India and earned a net revenue of Rs 180 crore on its opening day.Its India gross revenue stood at Rs 2.09 crore, while its total net revenue in India also remained at Rs 1.8 crore after the first day.ETimes awarded Mollywood Times 3 stars out of 5. Our exclusive review reads: “Abinav, who co-wrote this book with Ramu Sunil, offers a refreshingly honest look at life’s struggles. It’s refreshing because while it could have easily lapsed into bleakness, the writers kept the narrative upbeat and the hero never considered giving up on his dreams or truly compromising on his principles.So the ideas are compelling, but the storytelling starts to get muddled, especially in the second half. Several obstacles in the path of Vineth’s dream come entirely from the unique way Molly works, which is annoying. The part about SC/ST privileges is surprisingly tone-deaf and unnecessary. “
