CRITICAL RESPONSE

Pennu Case has received a mixed-to-lukewarm critical reception, with most reviewers agreeing that the film rests on an interesting central idea—a marriage scam with a gender-flipped perspective—but struggles to fully capitalise on its potential. Critics broadly appreciate Nikhila Vimal’s performance, often citing her as the film’s emotional and narrative anchor who lends credibility and intrigue to an otherwise uneven screenplay. The film’s lighter tone, modest humour, and occasional small moments of charm are noted positively by some, particularly for making it an agreeable, low-stakes watch. However, a recurring criticism is the generic nature of the storytelling, predictable narrative turns, and a lack of sharp writing or dramatic urgency. While the climax earns mild praise for providing some payoff, many feel it arrives too late to compensate for the film’s passive pacing, limited emotional impact, and technical shortcomings.

Verdict:

Despite a promising premise and a committed lead performance by Nikhila Vimal, Pennu Case ultimately settles for being a safe, middling entertainer. It offers mild amusement and a serviceable mystery but falls short of delivering the wit, tension, or originality needed to make a lasting impression.
