Vettam (transl. Light) is a 2004 Indian Malayalam-language screwball comedy film directed by Priyadarshan and written by Udayakrishna-Siby K. Thomas and Priyadarshan. It was produced by Menaka, Keerthy Suresh, and Revathy Sureshkumar through Revathy Kalamandhir. Dileep and Bhavna Pani lead an ensemble cast, also including Kalabhavan Mani, Innocent, Janardhanan, Nedumudi Venu, Jagathy Sreekumar, Cochin Haneefa, and Mamukkoya in supporting roles. The songs were composed by Berny-Ignatius and score by S. P. Venkatesh.
