I'll try.

Could you check any rendering issues also? In this image - 
image_077ebd23_d890a7083e967d92.png - vowel sign appears after the 
letter as മുംബ ൈ (without space) correct one is മുംബൈ. Images

Vowel signs should not start a captcha (or any of the words in captcha) 
and no two vowel signs should appear side by side.

Vowel signs for Malayalam: ാ, ി, ീ, ു, ൂ, ൃ, െ, േ, ൈ, ൊ, ോ, ൗ, ൌ
Other signs (above same rule should be applied on these signs also) : ്, ം, ഃ

Vowel letters should not be in the middle of a word (or captcha)
Vowel letters: അ, ആ, ഇ, ഈ, ഉ, ഊ, ഋ, ഌ, എ, ഏ, ഐ, ഒ, ഔ

(Possibly these rules are applicable to other Indic languages also 
because their vowel letters and vowel signs act very similar to Malayalam.)

If possible, do not include Malayalam chillu characters [1] in captcha 
(atleast for now) because they have two encodings possible since Unicode 
5.1.0. Normalization enabled only in ml.wikis and bug to enable 
normalization in all wikimedia wikis still pending [2].

If possible, limit the Malayalam block to U+0D02 to U+0D57, because 
other characters (except chillu characters) are not popular and probably 
not even mapped in keyboards. In the limit itself U+0D3A, 0D3D and 0D4E 
should be avoided which are also facing similar uncertainty.
