'Pluto' Movie Review: Sci-Fi Comedy with Familiar Alien Themes and Modest Humor
The Malayalam sci-fi comedy 'Pluto,' directed by Adithyan Chandrashekar, follows Vicky, a struggling entrepreneur who befriends an alien named Pluto. Unlike typical alien characters, Pluto lacks superpowers and is portrayed in a simple design, reflecting the film's modest budget. Both characters are depicted as societal 'losers,' offering potential for a unique narrative. However, critics note the film largely adheres to familiar alien storylines with light-hearted humor, and some find it short on laughs despite its quirky premise.
