However, defenders state that 5go is just a genre, not a replacement for realistic cinema. Mollywood still produces films like 2018 (disaster drama) and Kaathal (social drama). The 5go trend adds variety to the industry.

The term started as meme slang but has now become a legitimate marketing genre. These films represent the changing taste of the Malayali youth—a generation that grew up on video games, Marvel movies, and K-pop choreography.

While artsy films win awards, they don't fill theatres on a Monday morning. Young audiences want escape, not education. 5go movies promise pure dopamine.
