Cinema Express reports the film received mixed reviews and was a box-office disappointment. The outlet's review noted it is never outright tedious but underwhelming overall. Pinkvilla gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5, calling it a fun tale that fails to take off.
The cast also includes Aarsha Chandini Baiju, Aju Varghese and Dinesh Prabhakar. Produced by Orchid Films International, Pluto features a script by Niyas Muhammed. Director Adithyan is next set to make Multiverse Manmadhan with Nivin Pauly.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Cinema Express and Pinkvilla delivered neutral-report reviews, noting the film's underwhelming execution and commercial failure. Neither outlet adopted a promotional or critical stance beyond the performance of the film itself. The coverage is uniform straight reporting of a release date and critical reception. Readers can gauge the film's quality from the consistent 2.5-star and 'underwhelming' verdicts across both platforms, making the OTT launch a low-stakes event for casual viewers.
