ETimes verdict against Mollywood Times
Reviewing the film, ETimes wrote: “Abinav, co-written with Ramu Sunil, offers a refreshingly authentic take on life’s struggles. Refreshing because while it could have easily lapsed into bleakness, the writers maintain an upbeat narrative where the hero never considers giving up on his dreams or truly compromising 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. “With the OTT premiere confirmed, ‘Mollywood Times’ will appeal to a wider audience and is expected to garner a rabid fan base like Abhinav’s previous film ‘Mukundan Unni Associates’.
