Pluto

Synopsis

Pluto is a Malayalam science-fiction comedy that blends humour, adventure, and emotion around Vicky (Neeraj Madhav), a struggling young man whose life takes an unexpected turn after he encounters a stranded alien named Pluto, played by Althaf Salim. Directed by Adithyan Chandrashekar and written by Niyas Muhammed, the film explores the unlikely friendship between two outsiders while introducing a group of characters and situations that add comic and dramatic layers to the journey. Neeraj Madhav and Althaf Salim bring an easygoing chemistry to the central relationship, while the film's visual treatment supports its playful sci-fi setting. The narrative uses familiar buddy-comedy and alien-meets-human tropes but attempts to give them a distinctly Malayalam flavour. The emotional core comes through its themes of friendship, belonging, and finding purpose.
