Suraj Venjaramoodu lands a few dry comic moments of his own. Given how easy it is for this territory to collapse into unwatchable cliche, Youth stays on the right side of that line for most of its runtime. It could have used twenty fewer minutes, though, and nothing of value would have been lost." 'Youth' is a light-hearted romantic comedy written and directed by Ken Karunas. It stars Ken Karunas, Anishma Anilkumar, Devadarshini, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Priyanshi Yadav, Meenakshi Dinesh and Abison Thevarasa.
