Anandabhadram (transl.”eternally safe”) is a 2005 Indian Malayalam-language romantic dark fantasy horror film based on the novel of the same name by Sunil Parameshwaran. The story concerns ghosts, spirits, and black magic. The film stars an ensemble cast including Manoj K. Jayan as the lead antagonist, with Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kavya Madhavan in the titular roles. While Kalabhavan Mani, Riya Sen, Revathy, Nedumudi Venu, Cochin Haneefa, Kalasala Babu, Neethu S. Nair and Biju Menon in pivotal roles.
The film was inspired by the paintings of Raja Ravi Varma, Theyyam, and Kathakali dance movements, and Kalaripayattu martial art forms. It rode on a renewed interest in both Ravi Varma and Kalaripayattu in and outside of India. Anandabhadram was released on November 4 coinciding with Diwali and received well critical acclaim, for its screenplay, story, music, cinematography, cast performances and horror elements. While most of the critics praised Manoj K. Jayan's performance as Digambaran and the dark ambience of the movie. The film was a massive commercial success. The film won five awards in the 2005 Kerala State Film Awards and two in the 2005 Asianet Film Awards. It also was a commercial success. During production, Santosh replaced Sabu Cyril with Sunil Babu as the art director, M. G. Radhakrishnan replaced Vidyasagar as the music director, Gireesh Puthenchery replaced Sreekumaran Thampy as the lyricist and Kavya Madhavan replaced Meera Jasmine as the actress. The audiography of the film was done by M. R. Rajakrishnan . It was also dubbed in Tamil, Telugu (as Sivapuram), Hindi (as Phir Wohi Darr) and English, and was an inspiration for Tanthra (2006), another Malayalam film.
