Pet Detective plot and highlights

Sharafudheen plays Tony Jose Alula, a private detective who isn’t very successful yet. He wants a big case to show he is good at his job.

But the case quickly spirals into a wild adventure involving kidnappers, international smugglers, exotic fish dealers, a missing child, and a Mexican mafia don.

Director Praneesh Vijayan turns the story into a comedy full of slapstick humour, chaotic situations, and colourful characters, giving it a vibe reminiscent of classic Priyadarshan films, as per a press note.
