‘Adult comedy’ films aimed at adults in Tamil create anticipation. But when you look at the picture, it is disappointing. why this?
The adult comedy movie ‘Pallup Padama Pathukka’ directed by famous Vijay Varadaraj has been released today through ‘Temple Monkeys’ YouTube channel. The title itself seems to suggest that this is an adult sex comedy. With this title, the director has decided to appeal to the youth.
Six people decide to commit suicide and go to the Kerala forest called ‘Kunjuthanni Kadu’. All six have different backstories. But after going to that forest, it seems that there are a lot of ‘zombies’ there. The heroine is trying to eliminate them. They also join him. The movie is titled this because if the ‘zombies’ bite someone, the bitten person also becomes a zombie. Good thinking. But apart from this title, there is nothing in the film that is disappointing.
Shara, Dinesh, Linga, Sanjita Shetty, Sai Deena, Jagan, Mottai Rajendran, Anand Raj, Harish Boradi, who are all actors of adult comedy films, have acted in this film.

It is ironic that this movie, which is meant to entertain with sexual dialogues while keeping a light story in the background, is full of jokes about homosexuality.
Although it only runs for about one and a half hours, watching this movie for that long is a big punishment.
Hollywood makes such movies with great care, using elements of sexual comedy. American Pie 1 and 2, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Super Bad, Plus one, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Girls Trip, many hot adult comedy movies have been released in Hollywood.
But, in India, these types of films are mostly released as duds. Some attempts have been made before this in Tamil. Especially Yaruda Mahesh released in 2013, Harahara Mahadevaki released in 2017, Murattu Kuthu released in 2018 in Iruttu Chimbha, Madhyam Kuthu released in 2019 and Yamiruka Payame are notable among them.
All these four films were well received by the audience. Some films were even screened for four hours. Except for Yaruda Mahesh, all the other films grabbed the attention of the youth through sexual comedy and double meaning dialogues.
But, the trend did not continue after that. This movie ‘Pallup Padama Pathukka’ was made at that time. It has been released after many days.
“There is a tradition of this in Hollywood, but no such tradition in Tamil cinema. Some comedians in mainstream films, especially Vennira Awais Murthy and SS Chandran, have attempted double-entendres in comedy tracks. Otherwise, there is no tradition as a full-length film. ” says screenwriter Atisha.
Also, he says, making such films is very difficult. “An adult comedy film can turn out to be disgusting even if it goes a little wrong. Film fans don’t have the habit of watching such films. Apart from this, the censorship system in India is very strict. That’s why producers stay away from it. That’s why there are no people who can write stories or screenplays for it,” says Atisha.
