Naslen's Mollywood Times turned out to be a disappointing affair at the box office. The movie exhausted its entire box office run at Rs. 19.50 crore gross worldwide. Of which, Rs. 10 crore came from Kerala alone, while the rest of the Indian markets contributed around Rs. 2.50 crore. The movie found a little audience in the foreign markets, where it could gross another Rs. 7 crore. 

Directed by Abhinav Sunder Nayak, Mollywood Times was released with much anticipation. However, it couldn't really impress the audience. The mixed to average word-of-mouth affected its run severely, which is why it turned out to be a flop venture at the box office.

Had the film received a positive reception, things would have been much better. The Naslen movie is now streaming on an OTT platform. Let's see whether it can find its audience digitally or not.

Box office collections of Mollywood Times are as follows: 

Day Gross Box Office
   
Kerala Rs. 10.00 crore 
Rest of India Rs. 2.50 crore
Overseas Rs. 7.00 crore
(USD 730K)
   
WORLDWIDE Rs. 19.50 crore 

Mollywood Times follows a young man who dreams of becoming the greatest horror filmmaker in Malayalam cinema, drawing inspiration from M. Night Shyamalan. The story focuses on the challenges he faces and the lengths he goes to in pursuit of that dream. The film is being touted as a “hate letter” to cinema.

The movie stars Naslen in the lead role, with Sharaf U Dheen appearing as the co-lead. Apart from them, the cast includes Sangeeth Prathap, Althaf Salim, Roshan Shanavas, Prasanth Alexander, Rajesh Madhavan, and several others in key roles. Additionally, Basil Joseph and Vineeth Sreenivasan are expected to appear in cameo appearances.
