Idavela (English: Interval) is a 1982 Malayalam teen film written by Padmarajan and directed by Mohan.

[1][2][3] The movie opens with showing the 4 college boys to be indulged in smoking, drinking and watching blue films.

The boys have come there with the intention of having sex and inquires with Madhavan regarding the same, who says the hotel is a reputable one and such activities don't happen there.

She smilingly tells him to lie to his friends that they made love and she wouldn't mind it.

The boys wait for the evening, when Christmas celebrations start, to return to the hotel so that no one would notice that Ravi is missing.

Thomas throws the bottle through the window and walks out to the balcony to find Molu standing next door.

Aloysius, Swami and Molu run towards the direction pointed by Madhavan calling out Thomas' name.

They come near the muddy swamp and find his cigarette packet and match box nearby.

They prod the mud with a log of wood to find a hand come up which confirms their doubts that Thomas has drowned in the swamp.

The music was composed by M. B. Sreenivasan and the lyrics were written by Kavalam Narayana Panicker.
