The Pet Detective movie review:
If you’re looking for a movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously and lets you laugh at absurd situations, The Pet Detective, now streaming on Zee5, is your ticket. Directed by Praneesh Vijayan, the film stars Sharaf U Dheen as Tony Jose Alula, a quirky detective who specializes in tracking down missing pets, and Anupama Parameswaran as Kaikeyi, his childhood crush.
Tony’s simple mission to reunite lost pets with their owners quickly spirals into a madcap adventure involving smugglers, kidnappers, and chaos that somehow manages to be entertaining.
Highlights
Sharaf’s Charm: His goofy energy carries the film, making even the most ridiculous situations funny and engaging.
Anupama’s Warmth: She adds just enough heart to the story, giving the romance angle a light touch.
Animals Steal the Show: Dogs, cats, and even fish have moments that make you smile. The supporting cast adds plenty of comic relief, keeping the energy high.
Watch With Realistic Expectations
Plot Gets Overstuffed: From missing pets to international smuggling — it’s a wild, illogical ride.
Tone Fluctuates: Comedy, action, romance, and crime don’t always mix smoothly.
Shallow Emotional Stakes: Most characters exist for laughs, not depth.
🎯 Verdict
The Pet Detective is silly, chaotic, and utterly fun if you just want a lighthearted watch. Don’t expect logic or depth — just sit back, enjoy the chaos, and let the pets do the rest.
