Aadu Oru Bheegara Jeeviyanu (English: Goat is a Dangerous Animal) is a 2015 Malayalam satirical comical road movie written and directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas. The cast includes Jayasurya, Vijay Babu, Vinayakan, Saiju Kurup, Vineeth Mohan, Srinda Ashab, Sunny Wayne, Renji Panicker, Sandra Thomas, Bhagath Manual, Chemban Vinod Jose, Indrans, Dharmajan, Biju Kuttan and Harikrishnan. It was produced by Vijay Babu and Sandra Thomas under Friday Film House.

The film opens in Bangkok, Thailand, with a dangerous henchman named Dude (Vinayakan) being roped in by his boss, to fetch an exotic herb known as Neelakkoduveli, which is said to bring eternal fortune to its bearer. Somewhere in Kerala, Shaji Paappan (Jayasurya) is the captain of a tug-of-war team hailing from the high range, known officially as Winners Pothumukku. All the members are illiterate young men who are into a carefree lifestyle including alcohol and outing. They manage to win a tournament and celebrate. Along with the cash prize and the trophy, they also receive a female goat as well, even though the tournament secretary had promised that they will receive a male one. Lolan (Harikrishnan), one of the team members, names the goat "Pinky". Shaji is a misogynist, which is revealed to be a result of his wife (Srinda) eloping with his unfaithful driver (Aju Varghese). He allows the goat (whose gender greatly irked him) inside his van, after Arakkal Abu (Saiju Kurup) assures he will slaughter it and have it as barbecue.
