Vava, son of Kurishuveettil Mariamma, a lawyer popularly known as Vakeelamma. When Vava is selected to head the festivities for the year, the Thekkeyangaadi group objects saying that Vava, born to a Christian Mother and a Brahmin father (Melpathoor Vishnu Narayanan Namboothiri, a singer), was never baptized, and so could not head the festivities. Following this objection Vava decides to get baptized, but Vakeelamma says that he must first seek his father's permission. Vava goes to see his father who is now a renowned singer. He is welcomed by his father's manager Sivankutty, Sivankutty's sister Gayathri and others. But there is someone who wants to see Vava dead. Sivan Kutty kills Namboothiri. Vava kills Sivan for revenge. So for the rituals Vava becomes Brahman. He gets arrested and his mother starts backing up into the fire and dies. Soon after his prison sentence, the warring faction set their difference aside and invite Vava to head the church festivities

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I happened to see Pothan Vava in DVD, The movie was good in the sense that It provided a message at the end. Our Hero is the son of father and mother, who are from two different castes namely Hindu and Christian. The story portrays the social dilemma that he has to undergo as a result of this . It is told in a humorous manner with dire consequence at the end. Mammooty is at his best in dialogs delivery and the Christian slang he uses is fantastic. The rest of the character doesn't have much to portray.For Mammooty fans the movie may have several similarities to other roles he has portrayedThe plus point of the movie is the1.songs 2.movie duration (2 hours) 3.Family viewing 4.Social Message
