Chaayam Poosiya Veedu (English title: The Painted House ) is a 2015 Indian Malayalam-language independent drama film that explores existentialism and the hypocrisy of human nature. Directed by brothers Santosh and Satish Babusenan, it gained notoriety for its legal battle with the Indian censor board over three scenes featuring full frontal nudity, which were eventually cleared without cuts by the High Court. Narrative Summary

  1. The Short Film Version: A 28-minute short film by director Aneesh Anujan (unconfirmed) was screened at the 2015 IDSFFK (International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala). It won a special jury mention but was never uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo due to music rights issues involving a classical raga used in the final scene.
  2. The Unreleased Feature: There is evidence of a crowdfunded feature-length version that ran out of money in post-production. The DCP (Digital Cinema Package) is reportedly sitting on a hard drive in a studio in Trivandrum.
  3. Misidentification: Many users confuse this film with Njan Steve Lopez (2014) or Chaayam (2018). It is neither.
