ETimes verdict
Our exclusive ETimes review reads, “Visually, the film has no character of its own, the kind of flat, indistinct look that blends into every other comedy-drama in the same budget bracket.”The review further notes, “G.V. Prakash’s score sounds like it was assembled from his own back catalogue. The material is so thoroughly watered down, cover versions of cover versions of jokes and situations that have been doing the rounds for ages, that you barely taste any flavour by the end.”At the same time, it appreciates certain aspects, saying, “To his credit, 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.” It also adds, “Suraj Venjaramoodu lands a few dry comic moments of his own.”The review concludes on a balanced note: “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.”Overall, ‘Youth’ is holding steady at the box office and the weekend performance will be crucial.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
