In Mollywood, there is no dearth of stories that can easily be identified with masses. That is the reason many of the films have been dubbed into different languages. Many of the stories could be traced to one real-time story or the other. Moreover, there are gutsy and creative film directors who would like to experiment with stories and characters. Unlike other film industries in our country, these films are also made with shoe-string budget. Yet they fare well at the Box Office.
