Padmavyooham (2012 film)

Padmavyooham is a 2012 Malayalam mysterythriller film written and directed by Bijoy P. I. and produced by a team of IT professionals in Technopark under the banner Mega Wave Productions. The film is released onOctober 2012.

Padmavyooham opens with a police probe into a few temple robberies and the death of a journalist who investigates the complex defence mechanism of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple. Following this, Adhitya Varma, the patron of the temple sets out on an expedition to find out the details of temple construction. The story develops based on the myth that the temple idol can work as a water valve to let the sea water in and out of the temple in case of an emergency. As in a Padmavyooham, Varmas expedition runs into a series of events that unfold the relation between the famed Travancore rulers vision, security features implemented in the temple, and the significance of the temple treasure.The film intends to pan camera on how king Marthanda Varma could have envisaged a complex defence mechanism in the temple in order to protect it by creating a Padmavyooham like structure in the epic. It is possible to see the temple either from the angle of devotion or as a place that houses immense wealth. Our point is that even the vaults would have some complex structure behind its construction. ........
