Synopsis

15-year-old Praveen enters adolescence determined to find true love before school ends. Through relationships and heartbreaks, he discovers love's real meaning, shaping his maturity and outlook on life.
Moviegoers are saying
Youth divides audiences sharply, with most viewers finding it a problematic coming-of-age tale that relies heavily on parent-child sentiment to mask deeper issues. While one reviewer praised it as a 'harmlessly fun and engaging watch' with strong performances from Devadarshini and Suraj, the majority slam it for promoting stalking, manipulation, and toxic masculinity wrapped in school nostalgia.

    Youth is all about that “whatta changeover mama!” From a carefree porambokku during 10th class results to a slightly more sorted chamatthu kutty by 12th class results. A simple heartfelt coming of age drama, one that treads on a generic templated route with predictable…

    I thought Pradeep Ranganathan characters had the most incel victim complex ever but this movie exceeded even that and that’s a huge achievement (derogatory)

    Pradeep Ranganathan and Sai Abhyankkar could have made this a Godfather.

    not bad. I'm not Indian but there's something about their movies that always hooked me up. Maybe it's the lesson their movies leave to their audience
