Watched this movie today and was amazed. This is a rare movie in Malayalam. This will come under sex-comedy genre, intended only for adult audience.The movie is so hilarious. Murali Gopi, Saiju Kurup, Sreejith Ravi, Sunil Sukhada, they all did a great job. You should know Malayalam to understand the double meaning of some of the comic dialogs. Don't understand why some of the reviewer's were criticizing this movie. The movie delivers what they advertised. Indrajith and Mythili sub-plot is also great. It was handling the extra-marital relationships. We also get an idea how the Kerala society is changing. The debut director Shambu Purushothaman can be proud of himself..!!

The cast looks promising and I have always followed Indrajith/Murali Gopi's movies because they tend to convey a message. While this movie does convey multiple messages, only they are garbled and stricken with ambiguity by the time they reach the audience.Starting with long introductions of numerous (some useless) characters, the film finally kicks off at the 40th minute with three naughty husbands who plan to have some kinky fun (which they cannot do with their wives) with a call girl. And even after starting, the plot constantly moves to other sequences, telling multiple stories which tend to climax at one point. Adultery has never been showcased in such a lousy manner before. Not to mention, it has terrible direction, BG score and cast performance.The characters find themselves at places which are not explained till the end. And with such an inconclusive climax, I really started questioning the intentions of the makers: why suggest the recent fad amongst married men to indulge in oral/kinky sex (or BDSM for that matter) with Attukal Pongala as the backdrop? Why mix religion with porn? Why talk about gluttony and exclusive Mallu antics in a single frame? What's the point?Then there are some huge references to great movies like Pulp Fiction. Sway dancing or salsa or whatever the hell you call that dance between Indrajith & Mythili nicely points out the makers' inclination to western culture which it fails miserably enacting/borrowing. There are heavy references which are strictly for adults like condoms, erection, women's ass; they also have porn playing on TV. Incredible! I did not understand a thing what the movie meant, let alone the double meaning behind the title.The makers believe that crossing the line will get them David Lynch kinda fame. But, I will prefer US' any of the 60s/s0s teen sex comedies than this claptrap.BOTTOM LINE: Was it about molestation on women, human nature's various ways, religion, porn, vanity, globalization, infertility, corporate sex, divine power, gluttony, death or simply an itch in the director's derrière? I won't figure that out, neither will you. Not Recommended! Let it dissolve in its own vomit.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? Of course, NOT.

It is really an excellent bold movie from a first time director. 2nd part is especially hilarious and one cannot stop laughing. So called comedy movies will pale in comparison. It pokes fun at the so called moral police and exposes society. It is good to see that the new directors are ready to experiment with bold themes like this.This has an apt message too. All the lead actors did justice to their role. Especially Anumol who has taken up such a bold role. If Shutter is a suspense thriller with a theme remotely similar this, Vedivashipadu is more enjoyable and there no moment you feel it is boring.

Vedivazhipadu is a Malayalam film that borrows some elements from Bunuel's DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGOISE and THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE. Three horny Malayali yuppie men decide to cheat on their wives by hiring a prostitute during the famous ATTUKAL PONKALA festival in Trivandrum.But as much as the three men try to sleep with the prostitute, they cannot seem to complete the act of copulation - mainly due to nosy neighbors, salesmen and their own impotence. The film does lack finesse and goes over the top at times - some of the situations and dialogs are a bit contrived. But it is mostly amusing.The ATTUKAL PONKALA is almost like an ornament in the film, I wonder if the director really knew what it really means to the people who celebrate it. We are shown visuals of people celebrating the festival. It could all be sheer religious exhibitionism while the director seems to want to convey that it is all very noble. Anyway, the message seems to be that the festival has no meaning in the lives of the yuppies who have ascended in to their own world of sex, lust, gluttony and hard drinking. The film is definitely worth a watch.And the title has a double meaning. Though only Malayalis would get it.(6/10)
