The story introduces Jithin (Sandeep Pradeep), a nerdy engineering student grappling with a recent breakup. His world, and that of his friends, takes a bizarre turn when they notice peculiar behavior from their professors, particularly the conventional Shaji (Suraj Venjaramoodu), who recently became the HOD. Their suspicions fall on the charismatic and student-favorite professor Renjith (Sharafudheen). Jithin and his gang, who are avid fans of comic books and superheroes, begin to suspect that Renjith is using some form of supernatural power or “black magic” to control Shaji.
As they investigate, they uncover a fantastical secret: Renjith has the ability to cause body swaps through a mystical game of “Ludo.” This discovery plunges them into a wild game of cat and mouse, where characters frequently find their minds inhabiting different bodies, leading to immensely comical and often absurd situations. The film excels in showcasing the actors’ ability to portray two contrasting personalities, with Suraj Venjaramoodu and Sharafudheen especially shining in their dual roles. “Padakkalam” is a madcap adventure that blends campus comedy with a unique supernatural twist, prioritizing consistent laughs and unexpected developments, even if it sometimes stretches the boundaries of logic.
