Malarvadi Arts Club is a 2010 Indian Malayalam-language musical comedy film written and directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan in his directorial debut and produced by actor Dileep.^[5] In the film, five friends take the responsibility of reviving their favourite hang-out as they are unhappy with its functioning. However, they end up facing various problems while trying to keep the club alive.

The film was released on 70 screens in Kerala alone. The cast of five young boys and two girls was selected through a talent hunt. The movie was a commercial success at the box office.^[2][6]

The story is about the life of five friends in a small village called Manissery. They have completed their studies and are all set to move to the next phase of their life. But in the process, they face unexpected problems while trying to keep their favourite hangout, Malarvadi Arts Club, alive.

"Malarvadi Koottam" (Malarvadi guys) are a bunch of trouble makers in the Manassery village. They even act as goons for a Communist party, named Labour Party. The film's first half is about the pointless lives of these five, led by Prakashan. Prakashan has a fiery temperament; he would do anything for the people he loves, and for the cause he believes in.

In a moment of financial crisis, Kumaran, their mentor who formed the Malarvadi club, makes the group take up music again. On the way, the best singer, Santhosh Damodaran, in the group gets to attend a reality show. Predictably, he makes it big, which is followed by misunderstandings, separation, and a grand reunion in the end.

The film's soundtrack contains six songs, all composed by Shaan Rahman, with lyrics by Vineeth Sreenivasan.
