ETimes verdict
The film has received mixed reactions from critics and audiences. Our ETimes review pointed out both strengths and limitations, ", Ken Karunas has designed some comedic set pieces that draw laughs, and the boys around Praveen share a chemistry that keeps their scenes from feeling entirely disposable.
Suraj Venjaramoodu lands a few dry comic moments of his own. Given how easy it is for this territory to collapse into unwatchable cliche, Youth stays on the right side of that line for most of its runtime.
It could have used twenty fewer minutes, though, and nothing of value would have been lost."DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
