What’s the Movie About — Plot & Premise

At its heart, The Pet Detective is a comedy-action caper with enough chaos, laughs, and unexpected turns to keep you entertained.

The lead, Sharaf U Dheen (playing Tony Jose Alula), tries to revive his father’s failing detective agency — which mostly handles “missing pet” cases — to prove his worth.
When he takes up a seemingly simple missing-pet case to impress his love interest Anupama Parameswaran (as Kaikeyi) and her strict father, things go hilariously off track. What starts as a pet search spirals into a wild adventure involving international smugglers, kidnappers, a missing child, and even a mafia don.
Mixed with slapstick humour, colourful characters, and chaotic situations — the movie aims to be a light-hearted entertainer that doesn’t demand too much thinking.

In short: expect unpredictable turns, comedic chaos, and a blend of drama + humour — a recipe for a fun OTT watch.
