Youth is fun when it wants to be. With the whole narrative taking place during the school days, precisely high school, Youth taps into the benefit of being innocently unaware. The film shows some good writing instincts when Unnikrishnan says he values his wife more than his son at a critical point. As much as this simple dialogue carries great depths, the film’s overarching and concluding ideas are yet to become fully mature, making Youth an incomplete entertainer.Read at source
Youth
Praveen is a 16 year old carefree boy who enters adolescence, determined to find the love of his life before his school life ends. He lives with his father Unnikrishnan, a bakery owner and his mother Saroja, who loves him dearly and has high expectations for him. He builds a notorious reputation at school and misbehaves a lot. One day, he meets Preshika from the other class while being punished to stand outside with his friends. They both interact for some time and Praveen starts having a crush on her. Preshika tells him that it's better if they don't interact because people are assuming they're lovers and she doesn't want her strict police father harming him. Praveen ends up upset but finds out that Preshika likes him back after a hilarious encounter with his rivals Mani, Mukesh and their gang. After Praveen interacts with Preshika in her van, they fall in love. Anugraha finds out about this and panics, because her love interest Mukesh said that if Mani, who has a one-sided crush on Preshika and Preshika get together, Mukesh and Anu could also get together. She tells all of this to her friend Sai Navya, and they both are determined to break them up. Preshika informs Praveen that she will be away for a week as she is going to her native due to the sickness of her grandmother. She tells Praveen that She'll try messaging him during her absence. Praveen goes to a net center to message Preshika. She doesn't respond to him.
