Alien Encounter: Sci-Fi Comedy 'Pluto' Lands on Streaming
23 Aug
Summary
- The sci-fi comedy 'Pluto' is now available for streaming.
- It tells the story of a young man's unusual friendship with an alien.
- The film received a 2-star rating from ETimes for its experimental approach.
Neeraj Madhav and Althaf Salim's science fiction comedy, 'Pluto,' has transitioned from its theatrical release on July 30 to a digital platform. The film will be available on Saina Play from August 24, offering a chance for audiences to experience the story if they missed it in cinemas.
'Pluto' centers on Vicky, a young man whose life is transformed after an encounter with an alien named Pluto. Their relationship evolves from a strange meeting into an unexpected friendship, drawing parallels to films like 'E.T.' and 'Koi Mil Gaya.'
The narrative distinguishes itself by portraying the alien not as an all-powerful being, but as an outsider navigating unfamiliar circumstances, mirroring Vicky's own struggles.
While Malayalam cinema is commended for venturing into science fiction with limited budgets, 'Pluto' earned a 2-star rating from ETimes. The review suggested the film, though not bad, missed its potential, settling for a pleasant entertainer when it could have been more distinctive.
