The Pet Detective Malayalam Movie
October 16 2025 (India)
Director: Praneesh Vijayan
The Pet Detective (2025) received a mixed-to-average reception. Critics generally appreciated its quirky attempt to blend humour and detective elements, but found the execution inconsistent and the writing weak. The film starts off with promise but quickly loses focus, turning into a chaotic mix of slapstick and farce. Performances, especially by Sharafudheen, were noted as energetic, and his comic timing and physical humour carried several scenes. However, many felt that the supporting characters were underdeveloped and the screenplay lacked coherence. The visual tone and production design showed flair, but the narrative struggled to maintain rhythm or purpose. While a few found the movie amusing in parts, the majority felt it failed to strike a balance between being funny and engaging. The humour was often forced, and the detective plotline never built real intrigue or momentum.
Verdict:
An ambitious comic caper that tries to merge absurdity, slapstick, and spoof, but ends up as an uneven and occasionally amusing mess. It is a partly fun but mostly inconsistent comedy that entertains in flashes but fails to hold together as a whole.
