What happens

The Painted House (Malayalam title: Chaayam Pooshiya Veedu) is a 2015 Indian Malayalam-language independent drama film directed by brothers Santosh and Satish Babusenan in their feature debut. The film stars Neha Mahajan, Kaladharan Nair, and Akram Mohammed. The film was mainly made in Malayalam and English, but it has official dubbed versions in Hindi and Tamil as Rangeen Ghar and Vaanam Poosiya Veedu respectively. The Babusenan brothers were formerly cinematographers and producers in Mumbai, working for MTV, Channel V, STAR and others. In 1998 they made a short film, Twilight Dream, which was selected to the Split Film Festival in Croatia and the Mumbai International Film Festival. The Painted House was made after a gap of seventeen years. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
