Kooman (2022) - full transcript

Weren't you the one who entered

her room in the morning?

Move to this side.

I haven't stolen it, Sir.

I swear I haven't stolen it.

Have you checked your room

and your bag thoroughly?

Yes, we did.

It's no where to be seen.

Sir, that has been stolen.

I'm sure about it.

I very well remember the place

where I kept it.

Was the ring insured?

- Yes.

- No.

What?

- No, it has not been insured.

- Yes, it has been insured.

It has not been insured.

No, Sir.

Do you have a photo of the ring?

I don't have an individual picture

of the ring.

The ring is clear in this photo.

Let me see.

Move to that side.

Anyway, we need to check

your bag and the room.

Isn't it, Sir?

What if they failed to notice the

ring while searching?

Okay.

Shiny will check it out.

Come on.

No use of crying.

It's not a cheap ring,

but a diamond ring worth 4 lakhs of

rupees that has gone missing.

Sir, we were about to check out

the room, and leave.

What shall we do now?

You come to the police station.

We will register a case.

Sir, please come inside.

Did you find the ring?

Hey.

Remove your shoes.

Sorry?

Remove your shoes, I say.

Bloody, remove your shoes.

It's just a waste of time.

Give it to me.

See.

I did not feel that he stole

the ring.

What made you suspect him?

I understood that he is a pauper

looking at his car.

A car worth 40 lakhs.

And all the 4 tyres have been

worn out.

When the reception boy told that

two of his cards were rejected

as there was no money in it,

I felt a doubt.

When I saw the lady shivering,

I understood that the thief

was not her.

Even I had understood that, Sir.

I confirmed it not because of that.

Didn't I take his phone to look at

the photo?

I just checked his search history.

There I saw 'Diamond price calculator',

and 'diamond resale value' on it.

Then,

where has he hidden it,

did he do that with the knowledge

of his wife,

etc. Was clear from the trick

employed by Shiny.

As he is a fool, Giri could find

him out easily.

No, he found him easily not

because the guy was a fool,

But because he is not a professional thief.

It was just an idea that popped up in his

mind when he needed money.

Even if it is done by a clever person,

the result would be the same.

Watch and learn how he solves case.

Nedumpara.

Those getting down at Nedumpara, come.

Nedumpara.

Get down fast, Sister.

Sister.

Those getting down at Nedumpara, come.

Those at the back must get down.

Nedumpara.

Those getting down at Nedumpara,

get down.

Hey, this girl is supposed to

get down here.

Hello.

What a sleep.

It's your place.

Don't you have to get down?

Hi, Giri.

I have settled the other case, okay?

Okay.

You know, both of them

are partisans.

That's why I asked you to come.

Okay.

Getting to rule continuously is

a matter of headache to us.

Why is it so?

We will forget how to conduct strikes.

Okay, then.

Brother.

I want two sets of Appam and

egg curry, parcel.

Take two sets of Appam and

egg curry, parcel.

Shaji.

Heard that a rich team from

Ernakulam has come

to look for the property.

Did you and Thambi swallow

him totally?

No, that is not a big sale.

Salim, one tea.

Okay, I will give it now.

I was waiting to see you.

What's the matter?

A few guys from the Kabaddi team

had come to meet me.

Did you have any scuffle with

them last time?

Why would they come and

meet you?

The problem is between them

and I, no?

There shouldn't be any problem

here after.

That's all we need.

Giri.

Don't talk to me like you talk to the

guys who come to your station.

I don't like it.

I'm a social worker.

Suresh is a leader of the party

that rules the country.

You are just a police officer.

Perhaps, you will have to salute

him tomorrow.

Babu, take the parcel fast.

Even otherwise, a subordinate

need not act like a boss

in the presence of actual boss.

- Very true.

- Isn't it?

Giri Sir, your parcel is ready.

Bye.

The C.I. (Circle Inspector) is in

his hands.

That C.I. is retiring soon.

Heard that the next C.I. is

a smart fellow.

Now on, his tactics is not

going to workout here.

I wonder how did he join the

police with this figure.

Anything is possible with bribe

and recommendation

in this place, Suresh.

You seem to be busy working right

in the morning.

I guess you are coming back

from the temple.

Yes.

Is it the ailing mom who is doing

all the households?

What else could I do, dear?

Need to cook something at

home, no?

When I ask him to marry a girl,

he gets angry at me.

Ask the police boy to hire a maid.

He is a no. 1 miser.

What's wrong with you, mom?

Will you do the households

for me?

Need to cook something, no?

It has been two days since

the cooking gas got over.

The Gas will come today.

For the time being, I have bought

you some food as parcel.

I don't like hotel food.

Adjust for one day, mom.

Told you the Gas will come

tomorrow.

Then?

Anyway, it's me who has a short

breath, has to cook.

How long have I been telling you

to stop traditional medicines,

and to consult a good doctor?

How is that possible?

If you don't consume kwath

in the evening,

your hands and legs would shiver, no?

I lived on like this until now.

Who knows how long would I

be alive?

Nice! Where are you going?

O' Lord Krishna.

There's no Krishna here.

Only I'm there to take care of you.

Dear, Lakshmi, your classmate

just passed this way.

Her family is conducting a lot of Pujas,

and offerings to the Lord.

Still, she is not getting a good

marriage alliance.

There is some problem in her

horoscope, it seems.

You don't believe in horoscope, no?

I can understand what are you

going to say next.

When she was in school, she used to

come here everyday.

She used to like you a lot.

Anyway,

I'm going to give your horoscope

to Manoharan.

No need.

Hey, be careful.

Click a picture from that side.

So sad.

No comments.

Hubby...

Carefully.

Take him to the ambulance.

Hold him.

[Sniffing]

Will you leave the police dogs

jobless?

My father was there at home

the previous night.

Today, by the time we woke up

in the morning,

he had gone somewhere.

Dad...

Giri, please come.

- What's it?

- Just come.

Let me see.

What's the matter?

Will you ask C.I. Sir to avoid

postmortem?

Oh! That's not possible.

First of all, it is an unnatural death.

Moreover, if you tear the body...

Nothing we do will help to

remove the bane.

He belongs to our community, no?

All of us know that Sudhakaran

committed suicide because

he incurred loss in his business.

We cannot skip the postmortem.

That will become a problem.

Then, refer the case to the

Thaluk hospital.

If it is in the General hospital,

I'll have to run behind it.

I'll talk to him about it.

That's enough.

This is the last case in

my service.

If there is any flaw on my part

while dealing with this case,

I wouldn't get pension from

the government.

It will be withheld.

There is nothing to worry.

This is a clear case of suicide.

Sir,

In Damodaran's case,

we took him to the District hospital

for the postmortem,

and it gave us so much headache.

Let's opt Thaluk hospital for the

postmortem, Sir.

Okay.

Dear...

This is a list of remedial rituals

to be done

at the time of an unnatural death.

Everything should be done accordingly.

Okay?

People had gathered even before

we reached.

Then...

Manohar.

Giri.

C.I. Sir asked for you.

I'll come and meet him tomorrow.

Sir is retiring tomorrow.

Oh, yeah.

That didn't cross my mind.

Hey.

How are the rituals going to be?

Dorai Swami will come now.

The rituals will be started

as soon as he reaches.

When Swami directs,

the priest will do the rituals

accordingly.

This is an unnatural death, no?

Ramesh.

There is no land in this place, that

cannot be sold by me.

That is not going to workout.

Our margin should be given

as cash only.

There cannot be any transaction

through our accounts.

Okay?

Swami has come.

What is so special about him?

We also know how to perform

the death rituals.

He has been called because this

is an unnatural death.

What did you do before he

came to this place?

It has been only 10-15 years since

Manoharan settled in this place.

This is not what you think it is.

They are trying to bring strangers,

and make them a hero.

You know,

I'm a person who has studied

rituals for years.

But you discontinued in the middle, no?

- Did you see mom?

- She is inside.

Are you leaving?

I need to go to the station.

C.I. Sir is retiring today.

Tell her that I left.

Okay.

No, dad, I'll take care of it,

here after.

Has Giri Sir got any special gift

for C.I. Sir?

Of course! That's a suspense.

Did you really have to do

this, son?

- I didn't know anything about it, dad.

- Keep it inside.

Why are they here?

That is regarding a vehicle

seized by Sukumaran Sir.

The guys who drove it, abandoned

the vehicle and left.

Which one?

The vehicle from which drugs

were seized?

Ya, that's it.

That is his bike.

He says that friends had taken

his bike.

They are waiting for Sukumaran Sir.

Suresh is a leader of the party

that rules the country.

And you are just a police man.

Perhaps, you will have to salute

him tomorrow.

I'd called you, but the call

didn't connect.

Is it?

He doesn't know anything about

the drugs.

Please convince C.I. Sir.

Why do you say please and all?

I'll do anything for him.

He is all set to go to the Gulf.

If it becomes a case, that will

be a problem.

You will be able to save me.

Do something for me, please.

Don't worry, dear.

This is not a murder case, no?

Seized drugs, that's all, no?

Let me see what I can do.

Sukumaran Sir is busy with C.I. Sir's

retirement function.

I'll do the needful.

You may go now, and come

back later.

Okay, Sir. Thanks a lot.

The colour of the flex looks dull.

That's true.

You feel that because there is no

sufficient light.

Keep it towards the light.

Rasheed Sir,

did you file an FIR for the

drugs case?

No, C.I. Sir said not to file

a case,

but just to give them a warning

instead.

That will become an issue.

I think that the news has spread

everywhere.

- It's better to file the case.

- Is it so?

Yes, people are talking about it

at the junction.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Giri.

- Yes.

C.I. Sir is calling you.

- Calling me?

- Come on.

How did the people outside come

to know about the drug case?

I don't know, Sir.

But people are talking about it

at the junction.

Sir, let us exclude the owner guy

of the vehicle,

and charge Section 27 against

the rest of the guys.

Let them pay fine at the court.

Seizure of drugs at school premises.

The police charge weak sections

against the culprits.

When such a news appears in newspapers,

you will be answerable.

Already, there are complaints against

sale of drugs in that place.

Actually, they are to be booked

under Section 27(a),

under non-bailable offenses.

It's another team who sells

drugs there.

Not these guys.

If we charge this section,

won't the owner boy also

fall in trouble?

Won't he become an accused too?

Yes, Sir, what's the problem in it?

Drugs have been seized from

his vehicle, no?

Sir, he is going to go to the Gulf.

If he goes to the Gulf,

he will start smuggling drugs

and gold there also.

Come with me.

What's the problem between

you and him?

Tell me.

Why do you want to lock him?

That too, a boy who is known

to you very well.

Hey, tell me.

He is not a good guy.

He poked me the other day.

I have told you many times that

this character of yours

is not good.

Can you be so cruel to a person

for just making fun of you?

Giri...

Taking revenge for such a silly

thing, is not a good trait.

That too for a policeman.

Dear, that boy is just of

my son's age.

We don't need to wreak vengeance

on anybody today.

Leave the matter for my sake.

Won't you obey me?

Okay.

It is said that...

[Sanskrit Chants]

Do you understand it?

No.

If there is any hole in the middle

of the betel leaf,

there will be problems due to

ego and pride.

Your son is having a difficult

time now.

I can foresee quarrel,

mental trauma due to

the quarrel,

and fear of death

in his horoscope.

So...

Don't think about his marriage

right now.

Is there anything that we can do

in order to remove the bane?

I can suggest a remedial puja.

But...

you should do it at the temple

at Sanyasa hill.

Hand the chit that I give you

to the priest over there.

Okay.

O' Lord Subrahmanian.

So, 17 is the total strength.

Yes, Sir.

How many female constables

are there?

Two.

Are they enough?

Yes, they are more than enough

in this station.

3 of them are on leave today.

What is this?

This is a list of arms and ammunitions.

Okay.

Will the people of this place force

us to use these arms?

No.

This is more or less a peaceful

police station.

- He's very smart.

- Vinod.

Yes.

You guys have known each other

for a long time, isn't it?

Yes, I have worked with him

in Manimala station.

How is he?

He is a tiger.

He left the station after locking

all the criminals of the place.

I've heard a lot of his stories

about solving theft.

Oh! He is very much skilled in

catching thieves.

Superiors always praise him.

Nice.

Is he strict?

What a question!

If we don't follow his rules,

he will make us shiver.

That's good.

Here, there are more powerful ministers

than the king.

Give way for a change.

Yes.

Some tails will stop moving.

Sir is coming.

What is this?

Don't you know how to wear

a cap?

Sorry, Sir.

Two of you, come with me.

Let's go and visit our jurisdiction.

I'll come with you, Sir.

This is my place.

I know everyone.

No need.

No need of anyone who

knows the place.

Perhaps, the problematic people could

be your relatives or friends.

Vinod, you come with me.

- Sir.

- You may come along.

Sir.

6th Kabaddi tournament for Ramdas

Memorial Rolling trophy

presented by Nedumpara Winners

Arts and Sports club,

will be inaugurated by our new C.I.,

Mr. Harilal shortly.

In the first round, Sethumada

Challengers is playing against.

Nedumpara Winners who won the

tournament last time.

As our new C.I. blows the whistle,

the first round of the tournament

will begin.

The raging Kabaddi tournament

is going to begin.

We extend a warm welcome to

everyone, to the ground.

Beat him.

The raging competition between

Sethumada Challengers and.

Nedumpara Winners has begun.

Hey, that's a foul.

You are watching the raging

tournament

for Ramdas memorial Rolling trophy.

The raging competition between

Sethumada Challengers and.

Nedumpara Winners.

Nedumpara Winners has been leading

right from the beginning of

the competition.

Sethumada Challengers got a point.

Please don't make any problem.

The referee's decision is final.

Please don't make a problem here.

Please move out.

You must not get inside the court.

No one should create a problem there.

That's all we need.

Giri, don't talk to me the way

you talk to the people

who come to the station.

I'm a social worker.

The viewers must not create

any problem.

All of you may move outside

the court.

Please obey the volunteers,

and the police.

All of you move outside.

Don't create a hullabaloo here.

Don't create a problem here.

Who are you to interfere in this?

Get out, all of you.

Messing with a policeman?

Don't push me.

Obey what the police say.

Move outside. I'm telling you.

Can't you understand what

I'm saying?

Move out.

Move out, I say.

Get lost, you.

Son, forget it.

Your time is bad.

That's why all these happened.

If there is anything, you keep

pondering over it.

You get up, and come inside.

Pillechan.

Is it actually the trophy you won

by playing Kabaddi?

Of course.

That picture was taken when we

won the district tournament.

Back then, during the tournament,

did you throw people into

the mud?

But now, such activities are there.

Didn't you watch the video?

He took it.

Anyway, our new C.I. is smart.

It was so stylish.

It was really like watching

an action movie.

Like we throw the curry leaves

out of the curry,

he was thrown out effortlessly.

Where have you been until now?

You were supposed to get back

to duty at 8.00 am.

This is not your wife house to walk in

and out whenever you like.

This is a police station.

Were you trying to protest against me

for yesterday's incident?

If so, I'll make you suffer.

It's very common in our department.

There is no officer who hasn't been

ill-treated by his superior.

Still, I'm not able to tolerate this.

When I think about it,

See, my muscles are rolling up.

This is your problem.

I've told you many times not to

pamper revenge in your mind.

Do you know something?

My condition is that of guy who

abandoned his family,

and later came back home

asking for his share.

Nobody gives me any respect.

They are just your feelings.

Feelings, it seems.

Leave it.

Listen...

Do you want me to serve

tea outside?

Is there only tea?

I'm preparing banana fritters.

You must cut the banana into

very thin pieces,

and don't make it fat.

The banana and the knife

are kept there.

If you want thin banana fritters,

you may do it yourself.

Do you see that?

She was like a water snake before.

But became a cobra after

my retirement.

Laugh at my jokes, okay?

Come.

Let's drink tea.

Hello, come inside, I say.

Fix a drink for me.

No, your quota is over.

Fix one more drink.

No, brother. No money, no booze.

I'll pay the bill.

I always pay the bill.

I haven't drunk without

paying money.

I cannot serve you booze

without giving money.

Hey.

Even though I'm a thief,

I'm honest.

Give it to me.

Don't make problems.

What's this, brother?

Was it yours?

Give a peg for me.

How many times did I tell you that

I can't give you anymore booze?

Get lost.

Nice! You need not give me

a drop, even.

Hey, you must understand one thing.

Understand?

Have you heard of Hitler Mathan?

All of you must know about him.

He was a tiger in the police

department.

Once, he took me to the station

in connection with a case,

and thrashed me very badly.

There after, he hasn't worked

peacefully until now.

Do you know why?

Where ever he goes,

I steal from all the house

in his jurisdiction.

He hasn't caught me yet.

No place has been left without

looking for me.

Thus, a tiger S.I. turned into a rat S.I.

That's the history.

Listened to my story, no?

Now, fix a drink for me.

Go away instead of creating problems.

Rascal.

You won't give me booze, will you?

Buy a drink for me. Go.

Get lost, bro.

Go and mind your business.

- Don't enact a drama.

- Get me a drink.

Go away.

Is everyone pushing me out?

Hey...

Moron...

If I take a decision,

the bottles of booze that are

lined up in your shelf,

will line up in my house in

the morning.

Do you know that?

He must serve me booze.

Who is making a hullabaloo here?

He is an old thief of this place.

Now, he is not capable of stealing.

He drinks at others' cost.

Now, this is his job.

Give me a match stick.

Beedi?

Hi, Maniyan.

Who are you?

Wanna join me for a drink?

So, you want to know the trick

of stealing

to publish in the newspaper.

Sir.

Sir, you are not actually a journalist.

But a police.

Why do you have such a doubt?

First lesson of stealing.

No matter how dark it is,

how drunk you are,

a robber must be able to

identify a police.

No matter the police has come

in disguise.

I'm not a policeman.

Even if you are a policeman,

I don't care.

I'll tell you the secrets behind

the art of stealing.

But pint is not enough.

Sir.

No other job in this world demands

this level of intelligence

and alertness.

The expertise of a robber is in entering

and exiting the house.

Robbers are of different types.

Most of them start stealing

for money.

For some others, stealing becomes

an intoxication.

Some robbers enter only those houses

where there is no one.

But I enter only those houses where

there are people inside.

Why don't you steal from houses

where there is no one?

There is no thrill in it.

Some people steal not just

for money.

There must be a satisfaction too.

Human beings lock money and

gold inside the draw,

and sleep.

Like a demon guarding the treasure.

When I see it, my muscles roll up.

The excitement of stealing at

that point of time

cannot be felt in a house where

there is no one.

That's why...

Guess you have a lot of ways

to get away from police.

We have a lot of tricks to fool police

dogs and even big wig officers.

However, a thief's life is all about fear.

The fear of getting caught anytime.

Then, you will ask why we

are stealing.

Stealing gives you more intoxication

than women or alcohol.

Once you taste it,

you need to get caught for the

intoxication to subside.

How do you plan a good theft?

Good theft.

That sound good.

You are in a hurry.

A theft cannot be planned

in a hurry.

You need patience.

If you have patience, I'll explain

everything to you.

Hey.

Are you going for robbery

at night?

What a sleep!

There is a complaint regarding

a road dispute

behind the high school.

- Go and check it out.

- Sir.

Sir, this is the way to my house.

The entire land belongs to Krishnan Sir.

He has a lot of land.

Nothing is going to happen if he

allows a little space for the way.

If Giri Sir talks with him,

the problem might solve.

No other job in this world demands

this level of intelligence

and alertness.

The expertise of a robber is in entering

and exiting the house.

Most of them start stealing

for money.

For some others, stealing becomes

an intoxication.

Son, we need to go to the temple

of Sanyasis.

And we must do the offerings

prescribed by Subbai Swami.

[Thinking about what Maniyan said]

Do you hear what I'm saying?

Mmm...

What Hmm?

Are you not here?

The only security a robber has

is himself.

His eyes, ears, and nose should

be kept open.

If he sees a light,

get the smell of a cigarette,

sees a movement,

he knows that somebody is awake.

A house likes the one who walks in

secretly.

It will provide everything that

you need to get inside.

When you enter a house, you may

get caught anytime.

So, a robber starts working only

after finding the exit,

so that he can escape anytime.

When a robber walks, even his legs

shouldn't know that he is walking.

Otherwise, he loses.

Alas! Robber!

Robber!

Get up.

Stop there.

Stop there.

- What's the matter?

- A robber.

Robber! Robber!

A robber?

Stop there.

Stop, I say.

Robber.

Stop there, you robber.

That might be just your feeling.

No, I saw him with my eyes.

Did he run that way?

How will you know it, if you sleep

like a buffalo?

Come on.

Sir.

Where did you go after closing

the house?

There was a ceremony at my house.

We left before 3 days.

And we came back yesterday night.

The thief entered the house

yesterday, right?

Yes, Sir.

Are you sure that you saw

the thief?

Yes, I'm sure.

Yes, I saw him clearly.

He ran through this door.

Did you search everywhere?

Are you sure that you haven't

lost anything

other than 5000 rupees?

Yes, that's all we lost.

Why would a thief enter a house

just to steal 5000 rupees?

Go and check properly if anything

else is missing.

Go and check, Sir.

Come, let us check once more.

Okay.

His face tells that more money

has been stolen.

He is not saying it because that

is bribe money.

This village officer takes a lot

of bribe.

What?

Sir,

Not just 5000 rupees,

but more money has been stolen.

He is a person who takes

a lot of bribe.

That's why he isn't telling the truth.

That must be true.

Move that side.

Move towards the back.

Move.

Sir, the thief is not from any

distant place.

He is someone who knew that

they were out of station.

No, Sir.

This is someone from a distant place.

How do you know that?

Can you come to the gate?

- Move.

- Bro, move away from the gate.

- Move.

- Move to the back.

Look at this, sir.

This is something that a thief from

a distant place do.

To know if the gate is closed

all the time,

he will tie a thread on the gate

like this.

And he will check it in the day time.

If the gate has been opened once,

the thread would break.

Thus,

he would have entered the house,

as he saw the thread as he tied.

And when they returned, they found

themselves in trouble.

Wouldn't he have noticed

the broken thread

when he entered the house

for stealing?

May be, he entered the house yesterday

night through another way.

So, he wouldn't have noticed.

Otherwise, he didn't want

to abort a theft

he had been planning for

a long time.

Anyway,

only outside thieves do this.

Inquire if similar cases have

been reported

in the surrounding stations.

Bro.

Okay, Sir.

Is it so?

Okay, I'll reach now.

Sir, a small quarrel regarding the

pathway near the school.

Shall I go and check it out?

Okay.

Like wise, the door that he broke in,

at the back side...

You must record the finger prints

on that area.

Okay.

Sir.

Sir, there are 2 chappals lying

over there.

Sukumaran, when will our dog

squad reach?

Soon, Sir.

Sir,

He had promised the other day that,

he would allow land for the way.

Now, when I'm here with

the workers,

he says 'no'.

I won't consider that he was

my school teacher.

You need not pass such derogatory

comments.

Let me speak to him.

Didn't you promise to give some

land to them,

to solve this problem?

Is it good to fail, to keep the promise

by a person like you

who is respected by many?

I just said that I would think

about it.

But I haven't given any

promise to him.

Leave your adamance and think

about it once more.

I don't have to think anymore.

I have already told them

my decision.

Subhash,

I don't think this is gonna solve.

You just talk to them.

Let me see what he is telling.

- Come here.

- What's the matter?

Just come here.

Come, let me tell you something.

What's it, Sir?

Are the chappals any one of yours?

Mom,

The chappals that father was

looking for, yesterday.

Sir, they are my chappals.

They were missing from the yard

of my house.

Humans are being pranked.

Let alone a dog.

Take a pair of chappals from

somewhere,

and put them near the house

you are going to steal.

The dog will sniff it, and run

around for the person.

This thief doesn't have a particular

style of stealing.

He steals differently at different places.

May be, the theft is not committed

by one person.

Sir, it is not a small amount that has

been stolen from my house.

But 50,000 rupees.

The thief is looting the entire place.

What crap are you doing in the

name of catching a thief?

It is because you are useless.

It's our hard earned money.

Why are you here?

I'm here to catch him too.

If we don't catch him, that's a matter

of shame to the police.

During the time of Soman Sir,

there was no theft in this place.

But it was Giri who investigated

the cases then.

Yeah, yes.

If the thief enters my house,

C.I.'s cinema style of investigation

will come to an end.

Starting from DySP,

the entire police force till IG,

are my friends.

When you enter certain houses,

you will feel that you wouldn't

get anything.

But you must not get upset,

and go back.

That's because we are not in sync

with the house.

Then, you must behave as if we

are in our own house.

If the house likes us,

it will show us everything we need.

Sir.

Okay, Sir.

Sir.

My ears are not working from

listening to the cuss words.

Thambi has called everyone,

from DySP to IG.

This will not workout.

We need to find the thief

at the earliest.

Okay, Sir.

If the thief got inside Thambi's

house yesterday,

he must be someone who

knows that.

Thambi got the money from

the plot sale.

That is possible, Sir.

Thambi is saying that only Shaji

knew about the money.

I really suspect Shaji.

Shaji has all the freedom at

Thambi's house.

To know the exact place where

the money was kept,

the thief must be someone who

knows the house very well.

I also suspect him.

Sir,

Shaji is my schoolmate.

He had the habit of stealing

since he was a kid.

I think, if we take him in custody,

and threaten him,

he will tell the truth.

Then, you go and bring him here.

Sir.

Please avoid me from this.

Didn't I tell you?

He was my schoolmate.

Okay, then send Chandran.

Didn't you watch the video, Pillechan?

He shot it.

It was so nice to see.

It was like watching an action movie.

Alas!

Sir, don't beat me.

- Open the door.

- Water!

Don't give a drop of water to

that rascal.

Do you want water?

If it is you who did that,

just confess.

Why do you want to get thrashed

like this?

I promise upon my kids...

It's not me, Giri.

Please help me get out of here.

Okay.

I'll speak to them.

O' the most powerful, protect me.

But Giri,

I'm not able to believe it.

True that Shaji is a trickster.

But I don't think that he

would steal.

I have known him since our childhood.

I told everyone in the station that

he wouldn't steal.

But nobody listens to me.

C.I. Sir needs an accused to save

his face.

That's all.

If you don't catch the thief, make a thief

out of the person you catch.

Intelligent C.I.

Those who hailed the new C.I.

is not talking now.

I think it is because of his

rage against me,

Vinod and C.I. Sir thrashed that

poor man very badly.

Is there no one here to

question all these?

It is the concerned people who

are doing it.

I'm leaving.

Tomorrow, Comrade Rajendran and

partisans are conducting

a protest march towards the station.

Is it?

If they interfere and get Shaji

out of the jail,

that is a political gain for them, no?

Even otherwise, Comrade knows how

to make use of the situation.

True.

Note it on my credit account.

How is your mom?

Winter is on, no?

Yes, Nandan.

So, she has weather related difficulties.

Okay.

Attention.

Stand at ease.

Attention.

Stand at ease.

Your duty is at the school premises.

Giri and Subhash at the festival premises.

Then...

- Sukumaran.

- Sir.

The situation has been reversed.

Thambi doesn't suspect Shaji, it seems.

He called the head of

the police,

and said that we caught

Shaji deliberately.

Now, the DySP will come

here, and blast at us.

- You come.

- Sir.

We should've been more careful while

taking Shaji into custody.

There is no other case registered

against him.

That is what is the problem here.

- The police should uphold justice.

- The police should uphold justice.

- The police should uphold justice.

- The police should uphold justice.

- Dismiss C.I. Harilal.

- Dismiss C.I. Harilal.

Subhash, take the lathi.

Hold this.

- Release Shaji.

- Release Shaji.

The police should uphold justice.

The police should uphold justice.

Okay, stop it now.

- Stop.

- Stop it now.

Decision on whether to release Shaji

or not will be taken soon.

All of you must disperse for

the time being.

As the police is incapable of

catching the thief,

have you locked a poor

man inside?

We will make you answerable for this.

Who the hell are you to make

him answerable?

Hey, move, all of you.

We will release him now itself.

And we will arrest the real thief.

I promise you.

He slapped me without any

provocation.

Action must be taken against him.

Let me inquire about it.

We will solve it.

You disperse for the time being.

As Sir has given a promise,

we stop our protest and disperse.

- Disperse all of you.

- Disperse.

What nonsense are all these?

Sir, please come.

This is not what I had in mind

about you.

Now it's like, we did not catch

the accused,

and the locals started opposing

the police too.

Sorry Sir, we will catch him soon.

When is that going to be?

Do you want an auspicious

occasion for it?

- I'll tell you something.

- Sir.

I give you 3 days' time.

The thief must be caught by then.

Or else, quit the job and go.

Sir.

Sir.

I wanna tell something.

Sir.

It is me who told you about Shaji.

You got scolded for nothing.

If you can close your eyes,

I have an idea.

What's that?

I'll bring a person.

He will take the responsibility of

all the thefts.

No need for it.

That will turn into a bigger problem.

No one else needs to know about it, Sir.

I'll take the risk.

If there is any problem, you may

leave it to me.

Its me who is going to arrest

him, no?

Sir, dummies are employed even

for murders.

Let alone a theft.

What we need now is time.

So, we need a culprit for the

time being.

By this, your problems will be over.

Also we will get some time to

find the real culprit.

But don't we have to recover

the stolen money?

Sir, it is Money, that has been stolen.

We can say that he spent

a large portion of it.

By the time, we can find the real culprit,

and recover the money.

Nope...

So, the thief is smarter.

Didn't I tell you earlier that you

are a police?

Leave it.

How many cases should I take

on my shoulders?

10 to 16.

16 cases?

Yes.

Is it a big amount?

One is a big amount.

I'll detail it to you.

Are you sure that you will get me

out of the case?

C.I. Sir has promised me to do so.

He will get a good amount

as reward.

This is a matter of pride for him.

Here is 5000 rupees as advance.

I'll get you the remaining from him.

How did you commit all these thefts?

I'll tell you.

I thought that we will have

to interfere in it.

Anyway, there has been a

decision on it.

- When did they catch the thief?

- Yesterday night.

Heard that Giri caught the thief alone.

The thief has been taken for

collecting proofs.

He will be taken back here.

Give way.

The thief has been brought.

- Giri sir ki...

- Jai.

- Shiny.

- Yes.

Come if you need Biryani.

- Is it mutton?

- It is chicken.

Biryani is here.

- It is a tragedy for Shiny.

- All of them are chicken?

- I'll adjust with chicken for a day.

- There is Biryani for everyone.

Giri Sir, here is Biryani for you.

No salads?

Eat it with pickle.

- Everyone got it, no?

- Yes.

Oh, Salad is here.

There is no cholesterol in broiler chicken.

Give it to Sir.

Here is Biryani for you.

Biryani.

There is a problem, Maniyan.

What problem, Sir?

I think he might put us in trouble.

What trouble?

He is planning to keep all the remaining

cases on your head too.

He has a change of mind regarding

the money that he promised you.

This is cheating, Sir.

I trusted you like my son.

That is why I stood with you.

You shouldn't have done this

to me.

No, my dear.

I won't support him for

this cheating.

I trusted him. My mistake.

This is a problem that I created.

So, I myself will find a solution for it.

Keep it.

What is it, Sir?

Spare key.

I'll tell you how to go about it.

Sir.

That land dispute is getting worse.

Shall I go and check it out?

Okay.

Sir.

Sukumaran Sir is not there.

Maniyan has to be taken to one more

house for proof collection.

I'll manage it myself.

Shall I ask Vinod and Chandran

to come with you?

Okay.

What's wrong?

Sir, I think my stomach is upset

from eating chicken Biryani.

Are you employing a trick?

My stomach is aching.

He wants to go to toilet, it seems.

Sir, I want to poop.

Where is the toilet?

It is over there.

Sir.

Wait for a minute.

Open the cuff for me.

Oh, is it not a European closet?

No, it is Chinese.

Open it fast, Sir.

Wait, I'm opening it.

You shouldn't lock the door.

Open this also, Sir.

If so, I can make it fast.

You may poop with whatever

comfort you have.

Go.

Sir, are you coming with me?

I think he hasn't heard it.

There is a way from here.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir, the thief is running away.

Don't leave him. Catch him.

All of you, move.

Move, I say.

How do you go to the other side

of the river?

That way.

You need to cross the bridge.

Come on.

What a useless are you?

Lost a thief who was caught by someone

else with great difficulty.

I guess you got the suspension order.

Now, three of you can sit

at home for some days.

Go.

Ask that S.I. to come here.

He is calling you, Sir.

Vinod, you need not worry.

Those who haven't got suspension

in the service is very rare.

You don't have to take it seriously.

He is a born thief.

The thief is him or you?

If I'm a man, I will catch him.

And I will come back here too.

Then...

We shall play a game together.

Sir.

As it is a big amount,

it is good if you could give

me 500 rupee notes.

Let me see.

The thief caught by you with

great difficulty,

escaped from the hands of C.I.,

Isn't it?

No, we can't just let him free.

We will catch him for sure.

I think you are getting married.

I asked you, as you are

taking a loan

for your house renovation.

No, nothing like that.

Is your dad not at home?

He has gone to Tamilnadu.

He will be back tomorrow.

It has been some days since

I saw him.

What's up with you, police?

All good.

How is your mom?

- She is a bit down with asthma.

- All the notes are that of 500.

She doesn't like to go to

an hospital.

Don't keep the money at

home for long, okay?

- Why?

- Thieves are all around.

I don't care.

If somebody has to steal my money,

he will have to be born again.

Isn't it?

I think you are right.

He must be behind it.

That Giri.

He is very shrewd.

We must somehow catch Maniyan.

Let's go and have a look at

the way through which

he escaped.

We will definitely get a clue about

where he has escaped.

Giri has the habit of wreaking

revenge on people.

I have had a doubt on him

on many occasions.

My plan is to stay here itself.

I'm not vacating this house for

the time being.

You must follow Giri all the time.

Okay, Sir.

We are with you for anything.

Don't keep the money at home

for long.

Thieves are all around.

I don't care.

If somebody has to steal my money,

he will have to be born again.

Isn't it?

Giri, You?

Stop there.

Stop, I say.

Giri, you thief.

Stop there.

I'm telling you to stop.

Stop there, you thief.

Don't think that you have escaped.

I understood that you are the thief.

Son...

I want some hot water.

I'm short of breath.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Yes.

What a sleep, Sir?

No breakfast,

no lunch.

At least, drink tea in the evening.

Take it.

Sir.

Here is your tea, Sir.

Tea.

What do you want for dinner?

Sir...

Night... food?

Food?

Nothing.

Go.

Theft is an intoxication that women

or alcohol cannot give.

Once you taste it,

you must get caught for the

intoxication to subside.

But for some people, that also

is not a deterrent.

Son...

I want some hot water.

I'm short of breath.

We were not able to connect you

on the phone.

Where have you been since yesterday?

Park your bike somewhere, and

get into the jeep.

Sukumaran Sir wants to meet you urgently.

Note the measurement correctly.

After bringing the body down,

check if there is any injury.

Okay, Sir.

Do you need our guys to get

the body down?

Giri.

Come here.

Where have you been?

We have been trying to call you

since yesterday.

Sir...

I... was gone... to buy medicines

for mom...

Who is that?

Mom.

I don't know them.

They are dead Ramaswami's wife

and son.

Mom.

How will I tolerate this, sister?

Calm down, please.

Giri.

Didn't we meet at the bank

the previous day?

He had been very happy lately.

Why would he have committed suicide?

Come, mom.

- Subhash.

- Sir.

- Move them away.

- Okay, Sir.

Call somebody and get the body down.

Any two of you come, and hold it.

Carefully...

Yes, slowly.

Okay, you can go.

Keep his hands closer.

Ramaswami comes to me often.

Now, his time is not good.

But bad.

Are you telling this in the

last minute?

Couldn't you tell me, if you

didn't have money?

Go and get it fast.

Giri, is it you?

This is that rascal.

Sreekumar.

He is calling me to borrow money.

Tell him that I just died.

Give him the money.

You will get a very good interest.

I gave money to somebody for

a high interest,

and now he is dead.

Who is gonna give that money

back to me?

Gopi, come.

Dorai Swami is calling you.

Don't delay, come.

- So, shall I go?

- Yes.

Go there, son.

Head towards this side.

Rotate the body.

Slowly.

Carefully.

Stop running.

Giri, stop there.

Stop there.

I... I'm telling you.

You thief, stop there.

Don't think that you have

escaped.

I understood that you are

the thief.

The subscriber is currently switched off.

Please try after sometime.

Giri.

Who are you looking for?

See... that is...

That day, he was on leave.

I inquired about it.

He wasn't even available on the phone.

I had seen him going past

the check post that night.

Maniyan must have been hidden

somewhere in Tamilnadu.

Thank you, Sir.

Sir.

I suspect that Giri is behind

all the thefts.

Most probably, Maniyan would have

conducted the theft

as per his direction.

Why do you suspect that

it is a murder?

No trace of urine or poop was present

in the soil under him.

But it was present on the

clothes he wore.

The death was not from there.

He is an elderly person.

May be, he had only less discharges.

Still, there will be some discharge, no?

Moreover,

That rope had a mark from dragging it

on an iron like metal.

And there were tyre marks

on the spot.

An old rope, no?

Marks will be there.

It is not an old rope.

That is a new one.

I feel that,

he was murdered before he

was hanged.

Couldn't you inform that in the

department?

What's the problem?

I feel some change in you.

Tell me if anything bothers you.

There is no problem that cannot

be solved.

A day before Swami died...

we had met with each other.

Okay.

It was not just a meeting.

In fact...

he caught me when I entered

his house for stealing.

How did you become a police, you thief?

I haven't seen a criminal like you

in my entire service.

I have warned you many

times that

your habit of wreaking vengeance

on people is not good.

I'm not able to do it.

I'm not able to control myself.

What's it, Hubby?

What's the problem?

Nothing, you go inside.

Why is Giri crying?

Didn't I ask you to go inside?

What's the problem, Giri?

Told you to go inside.

Sir.

I'll confess everything and surrender.

Please, Sir.

Everything must come to end here.

Please...

You are not going anywhere.

You sleep here today.

We need to go somewhere tomorrow.

How long have you known him, Pilla?

I have known him for the past

2-3 years.

This is a little complicated.

Here, there is a situation

in which

he is not able to control

his impulses.

It is called as Disorder of

impulse control.

If he feels that anyone is questioning

his ego or ability,

he takes it as a challenge.

And he wants to win the game.

Didn't you tell that he goes behind

cases and solves it?

That is because of the disease.

During then,

such people will be so daring

to face anything.

Actually, such an emotion was

triggered

when he felt the need to

humiliate the C.I.

But later...

that turned out to be a pleasure

for him.

An immense pleasure.

He felt it more challenging than

the police job,

and he is not getting caught too.

He got enslaved to the pleasure

of stealing.

Now,

if he feels that the robber in him

is being challenged,

his mind would insist him to win

by committing a theft.

But, he might get caught.

And his life will be over then.

We can give him counseling.

But,

If such a situation arises

in the real life,

that 'no' should come from

within him.

Which I'm not sure considering

his previous personality.

Otherwise,

there must be something in his real life

that could replace his urge.

Something that is more challenging...

Something that is more thrilling...

Given such a situation,

sometimes...

he might go behind it.

The doctor says that you will be okay

by this counseling.

But you will have to come here

a couple of times.

You need not go behind the

other case.

Just to spoil the peace of mind.

I cannot just ignore it.

I need to know what happened.

This is not a case that you will

be able to handle.

What wonder can an ordinary civil

police officer like you do?

Let me see if I can do anything

with this talent of mine.

You are not going to do anything.

When the new C.I. takes charge,

you will not get time to go

behind this case.

What if I find something

before all that?

Didn't I tell you earlier, Sir?

When I was running outside,

I had felt the presence of

a vehicle there.

Later, when I went there,

the tyre marks that I saw there

was similar to the tyre marks

that I saw at the spot where

the body was hanged.

When I was examining it,

I received a video message.

I called to that number then and there.

But it was switched off.

He challenged me on my face.

I will catch him, Sir.

So, that's your decision.

Yes.

I don't mind losing my job.

But I'll catch him before that.

Then, I'm also there with you.

Swami who ran after me,

has not gotten home there after.

That's why,

even his wife failed to know that

I had entered the house.

So, he knows you.

And he has seen you entering

inside the house to steal.

He knows me.

Moreover, he was there during the

funeral ceremony.

Did you trace the number from

which the video was sent?

That is a Tamilnadu number.

I have made arrangements for

taking the address.

Oh, Tamilnadu number, huh?

The address could be fake.

Weren't you the one who

told me that,

mobile connections are taken

using the ID proofs of the workers

who migrate for job?

Hey, what's in the postmortem report?

There is nothing to be suspected.

Symptoms are of death from

hanging.

I examined the clothes he wore,

thoroughly.

Discharges are like normal death

from hanging.

[Sniffing]

If you hang from such

a big height,

naturally, the neck must break.

The postmortem report doesn't say so.

That means?

The doctor is wrong?

No, Sir.

We had confirmed that it was

a suicide

before writing the report.

Yes.

Even I was not in a mental state

to think otherwise.

The report doesn't say

if he had used any object to

stand on before hanging,

or was he jumping from the top?

The doctor hasn't seen the crime scene.

May be that is why he didn't

think so.

Anything else that is unusual?

Sir.

There was a smell on the clothes

that covered the body.

I don't know if that is of

a perfume,

or something else.

Did you speak to any of his relatives?

Yes.

There were family problems.

But when he came to the shop

yesterday, he was very happy.

He said that he was going somewhere,

and the problems would get over

by the time he was back.

When I asked him where

he was going,

he said that he would tell everything

after he came back.

He didn't tell anything to mom.

When she woke up in the morning,

the kitchen door was lying open.

Usually, he doesn't go anywhere

without telling us.

That means, after meeting you,

he had gone somewhere without

even telling his family.

Is it so?

Yes, Sir.

Swami was going to go somewhere.

That is when he saw me, and

came after me.

Sir, look at this carefully.

See this.

Towards the end of the video,

Swami turns and looks at

the vehicle.

That means,

he has seen the vehicle, and the person

who came in the vehicle.

After that, he hasn't gone back

to his house.

What does that mean?

May be, that person had come there

to pick Swami.

What if he had come there

not to pick Ramaswami?

Then?

What if he had been following you?

I got it from the side of the

forest lane.

This has been opened using a key.

Anyway, this is a strong evidence.

I came to know from the station

that one key is missing.

I'm sure that Giri gave it to Mani.

If we catch Maniyan, we can lock Giri.

Chandran has got a clue about

Maniyan's hideout place.

We will know it in 2 days.

I want to put it on his hands.

I don't care losing my job

after that.

Brother, Is Ganapathy Nagar nearby?

Are you from Kerala?

Why asked?

Guessed from your looks.

We are Palakkad natives.

We are farmers who grow flowers

by taking land on lease.

Who do you want to meet in

Ganapathy Nagar?

One Mr. Kakkathoppil Palanivel.

Sorry, he passed away.

Didn't you know about it?

Palanivel's flower business ended up

in loss.

He had a lot of debts.

So, he committed suicide.

It has been more than a month

since he passed away.

He was missing on a fine morning.

Next day, we found him hanging

on a tree in a compound.

This is his number itself.

The police told me that

his phone was missing on the spot

where he was found dead.

Even I'd tried calling him a

couple of times.

But did not connect.

Why did he decide to commit suicide

all of a sudden?

He had some obligations in the

flower business.

But two days before dying,

he had told me that everything

had been sorted out.

Do what I say.

Acting like a detective?

Donkey.

Who are you to tell me how to

investigate the case?

I'm the Inspector of this place.

You are just an ordinary police.

Understand?

Yes, Sir.

People walk-in just to shoot

my pressure up.

Get lost.

Who are you?

I've come to see you.

Should I come outside?

No.

Move.

What do you want?

Sir, I come from Nedumpara Station.

I want some details regarding

a murder case.

What is this?

In the Kerala Police,

are the murder cases investigated by

civil police officers?

Letter?

Take out S.P.'s official letter.

Sir.

The official letter has not

been issued.

Then, how will I know who you are?

Ask them to call me.

Sir,

I need the details unofficially.

Unofficially?

What is your rank?

What is my rank?

You are an ordinary P.C.

Am I sitting here to give you the

details that you ask for?

Out.

Get out.

One tea.

Sir.

I'm Giri Shankar.

CPO, Kerala Police.

At Nedumpara station.

Both of us are alike.

Same rank, same (terrible) situation.

Senthil Kumar, Constable.

I've come to Nedumpara to catch

a thief.

Before...

We also have a similar inspector

in our station.

Such an egoistic person.

He always makes fun of us.

He is under suspension now,

sitting at home.

Tea or coffee for you, Sir?

- Coffee.

- Brother.

Get him a super coffee.

Okay.

Where in this place have

you come to?

I'm here as a part of an investigation,

but felt a connection here.

It's when I asked for its details that

he drove me away.

He is a fool.

If we solve a case, his ego

will be hurt.

Then, he would call us names.

The situation is the same everywhere.

Talented people don't have ranks.

Those who have ranks are

not talented either.

What do you want, Sir?

I can help if possible.

I'll whatsapp the details of Palanivel's

death available in the station.

I'll collect the details of similar

cases, if there is any.

What you said is right.

If we pick somebody working

in the hospital,

we can check if there is any

similar cases of death

reported in the nearby stations.

I'll look into it.

Sir.

- What's it, Sir?

- Nothing.

Dead bodies are brought here

from 7 stations.

Details about the people who died

from hanging in the past 1 year

is there in this.

I'll give you the details of

the old ones too.

But it will take some time.

This address is in Kerala border.

See this?

Oh, is it you?

Why are you here?

Take your hands off me, Sir.

- Why are you following me?

- How funny!

I'm supposed to ask that

question to you.

Why did you come here, Sir?

Isn't it to catch me?

Not to catch you.

Lies!

Hey, Maniyan.

You smoked me out of my place.

And now from here.

I lost my peace.

You will cheat me.

I know that.

Believe me, Maniyan.

Believe you?

You are a bigger thief than me.

Weren't you the one who committed

all those thefts?

Hey.

Weren't you the one who removed

the window pane

of the toilet I used the other day?

I understood it back then,

that you were taking revenge on

that Circle inspector,

like I did to Hitler Mathan.

Don't try to cook up stories.

I'm happy, Sir.

I'm happy that you taught

C.I. a lesson.

Hey, stop there.

No, Sir.

Hey, I helped you to escape from

the jail, no?

Then, why should I try to

catch you?

Whatever it is, you are a police, no?

Policemen cannot be trusted in life.

Do you know that?

Stop committing theft, okay?

If you continue it, you won't be

able to get out of it.

Maniyan.

Get lost, Sir.

He has come with new stories

just to put others in trouble.

Sir...

Shiny.

Go through this file.

We need to give a report to S.I. Sir.

Giri.

Last 3 years' files are there.

I give this because it is you

who asked for it.

Don't show it to anybody.

Return it immediately after

going through it.

Hey.

Why are you loitering in the

hospital compound?

Is your friend, that thief here?

Or have you started kidney

trade together?

Why are you talking like this, Sir?

I'm on duty.

I'm busy.

Don't go like that.

Let's have a lil-chat and then go.

Take your hands off me.

Where did you hide Maniyan?

I'm a police officer on duty.

If you interrupt my duty,

you will meet the consequences.

Who are you going to lock with

all these?

Tell me.

You may go now.

Don't think that you have escaped

from me.

I'm getting the updates of where

you are going,

and who you are meeting.

A lot of such murders have

occurred in Tamilnadu.

All of them are under the jurisdiction

of police stations near ours.

So, are you saying that the hangings

reported during my service

also belong to this?

Some of them...

It has occurred in the jurisdiction of

the station next to us.

I went to the hospital and collected

the details.

New yellow plastic ropes have

been used in all the cases.

These are murders.

Murders that have similar traits.

Who would be the murderer?

What would be the motive behind

killing these many people?

All of them who died have

crossed middle age.

There are no youngsters.

According to the information received

so far,

there are no back to back deaths.

There is actually a one month gap

between them.

Another thing I noticed is,

All of them have some problems

in life that

people will believe that they

would commit suicide.

That means, the murderer knows

them in some manner.

Yes, Sir.

Its without even telling their family,

that all of them have gone

outside at night.

And their dead bodies were seen

on the next day.

May be they were taken by people

they know.

There have been no thefts.

No, Sir.

Theft is not their intention.

I cross checked it.

Another thing is,

All of them who have been murdered

belong to upper caste.

Giri.

The situation is more dangerous

than we thought.

We can deal with the consequences later.

We must inform the department.

You won't be able to handle

it all alone.

Why do you say so?

It's not a big deal as you say.

Do you see this?

He sent me one more video last day.

And a threatening message that says,

'Don't come on my way.'

'You will be over'.

If we inform this in the department,

he will flash the video.

Everybody will believe that these

are cooked up stories

to cover my act.

That's the end of me.

And he will escape.

If so, it is better to play,

and then end.

Anyway, one thing is clear.

We are moving on the right path.

When does a person threaten someone?

When he loses all of his courage.

He has been shaken.

I'm sure about it.

Hey.

You must be careful.

He is a dangerous criminal.

A daring criminal.

Shaji...

Make sure that the people don't

bite the dog.

I don't think that the thief

will be caught.

Everybody should take care of

their own belongings.

What is the use of police?

No use at all.

So, I bought a dog.

Bro, thieves are stealing from houses

where there are dogs.

It is not a flimsy dog that

you see here.

- It is a different breed.

- What breed is it?

Which breed is it?

Belgium Maldives.

Yes, Belgium Maldives.

A dog crossbred from two different

countries.

Moreover, it has got special training

in catching robbers.

If so, install a CCTV, Thambi.

Shaji.

Go and take my purse from

the vehicle.

If the thief is wearing a mask,

what is the use of CCTV?

Alas! Thambi...

Thambi...

See that.

See the dog barking.

How is it?

Can a CCTV do it?

If any thief come to my house premises,

this dog will bite off his crucial

body parts.

How to deal with dogs...

Everybody gives chicken and beef

to the dogs.

Before I go enter houses where

there are dogs,

I buy some mutton.

Tender mutton.

There is a recipe suggested by

my Guru.

An awesome recipe.

Mix fried groundnuts with some honey,

grind it, and marinate the mutton

for 2-3 hours.

When you give this to the dogs,

not just dogs,

even tigers will come to where

ever we call them.

How is it?

Senthil, good evening.

I was going to call you.

Good evening, Sir.

I've got the details of all the

murders in the past 3 years.

Oh!

In 2021, there has been a murder

every month.

- Really?

- Yes, almost after every 30 days.

But in 2020 and this year, it was

not the case.

Okay.

Senthil, do one thing.

Whatsapp the details.

- I'll call you.

- Okay, Sir.

Alright.

Human beings lock money and

gold inside the draw,

and sleep.

Like a demon guarding the treasure.

When I see it,

my muscles roll up.

The excitement of stealing at

that point of time

cannot be felt in a house where

there is no one.

Hey, get up.

Your phone has been ringing.

It might be an urgent call.

Get up, dear.

Can you get me the phone, mom?

Here it is.

Take it.

I've prepared tea for you.

Get up and come.

Giri, S.I. Sir has asked you to

come here urgently.

A dead body has been recovered.

Body?

Somebody is dead there.

Come on.

Dead? Where is it?

Don't know whose body is it.

Let's go and see.

What is the mark on the hand?

Any wound behind the neck?

Don't we have to list the ornaments?

Yes.

Is she the one who is working

in Shakthi's finance?

Yes, Comrade.

It has been some days since

her husband left her.

She had an affair with Shakthi.

Really?

Perhaps, she fell down while she was

going to meet him at night.

This is a dark pathway.

Today is a new moon day.

Yesterday night would have

been so dark.

Take a picture of the face.

Sir, her head has been beaten up.

We need to examine it.

Shall we take the body

over there?

Okay.

Hold her carefully.

Lay her there.

Hold the leg.

Lay her straight.

Hello.

The information is correct.

When Thambi's house was looted,

some people in the colony had

received money.

They said that somebody came in a

bike and threw money at them.

So, it is sure that money is not

what the thief wants.

It is him.

Giri.

Let the game tighten.

When I get hold of the joker,

I'll tear off his card.

The lady who was murdered, and Shakthi

had an illegal relationship

with each other.

A day before the incident, they

have had a fight too.

So, it's natural to suspect Shakthi.

That's not true.

He is innocent.

I'm sure about it.

Shakthi is a thin guy.

But this is a person who is fat

in nature.

I have seen him.

Only that his face wasn't clear.

As it was just a day before

the new moon,

it was all dark.

But, no murders look similar to

this one.

What's it?

One minute, Sir.

What's it?

Don't talk. Just a minute.

Sir, come.

Sir, do you see this?

In 2020, no murders have occurred

in Kerala.

But, it has occurred in every month

in Tamilnadu.

In 2020 and this year,

a month with no murder

in Tamilnadu,

is a month with a murder

in Kerala.

According to the information that

we received,

there had been a series of murder

in every month,

from 2020 until now.

Either in Tamilnadu or in Kerala.

Moreover, all the murders have

occurred on the new moon day.

The person will be taken

the day before,

and his dead body will be hung

on the tree,

on the very next day morning

of Amavasya (new moon).

May be, this lady was taken in

the same manner.

When she tried to escape,

killed her hitting on her head.

But...

On the day of new moon,

people belonging to certain tribe,

that too,

people who have reasons to

commit suicide,

are being killed.

The dead bodies have a special

smell on it.

What is behind all these?

Will it be any black magic or something?

No way.

In this century?

Don't rule out the possibility of

black magic.

Superstitious beliefs of human beings

are increasing day by day.

Haven't you heard of Burari case that

happened in Delhi recently?

11 people from a family committed

suicide.

Believing that they will be

born again.

Human sacrifices are happening even in

Kerala, that is no. 1 in literacy.

When I started my service in

Kanjiramkulam station,

A black magician convinced

the people that

if a small kid was sacrificed on

the new moon day,

they would find treasure.

A lot of people together killed a kid.

This too could be something like that.

I don't think so.

But I told you, no?

2020 onwards, murders have been

occurring every month.

If it is a gang behind it,

keeping it as a secret for such a long

period, is not possible.

If it is something like you said,

it must be one person behind

all the murders.

But, how can one person kill these

many people all alone?

But serial killers do it alone, no?

How will you go behind this case

in between your duty?

I tell lies to Sukumaran Sir,

and scoot.

Otherwise, I take leaves.

If you had support from the

police station,

you could work more freely.

I feel that you must open up

everything to Sukumaran.

We can trust him.

He will not cheat.

Before the situation get worse,

we can say that Shakthi is innocent.

Okay.

We will do that.

Anyway, Harilal Sir and Vinod

are following me.

Before they find something and

inform Sukumaran Sir,

it's better that I confess to him.

Your phone is ringing.

Yes, Subash.

When?

Tell me.

Tell me the truth.

Sir.

I'll make you vomit breast milk.

Tell me the truth.

Enough! Move!

Move, I say. Tell me the truth.

If you get more thrashings,

you will die.

Better tell me the truth.

Who gave you the key of

the handcuff?

Tell me.

- Tell me.

- I'll tell you, Sir.

Ask them not to thrash me.

I'll tell you the truth.

Go on.

Before I was taken for collecting

proofs,

amidst the rush of people who

had gathered

during the time when Sirs had gone

outside to control the crowd,

I stole the key that had been

hung on that wall.

It is using that key, I unlocked

the handcuff.

That day, this Sir caught me

all alone.

The Sirs who caught me yesterday

asked me,

to tell that, that Sir helped me

to escape the other day.

Telling lies, you bloody?

No Sir, he will die.

No, Sir, don't thrash him.

He is telling lies.

- Get out.

- Stand properly, Maniyan.

Maniyan.

Why didn't you show me to them?

There is no cheating in cheating.

A true thief only steals.

He doesn't cheat anyone.

I forgot to tell that to you, Sir.

I like you, Sir.

You are a very good police officer.

Please forgive me, Maniyan.

You will not have to go to jail

because of me.

I promise you.

Sukumaran,

Instead of being stunned,

tell us something.

What shall I tell, Sir?

This is like listening to a film story.

This is my request.

You must stand with Giri.

If the case are solved, the credit

is yours.

Sir,

We have confirmed that Shakthi

was in Bangalore that night.

Okay.

Told you, no?

He is not the culprit.

Sir.

The police had found the handbag

of the lady who was killed.

There was a chit that mentioned

something about a Puja.

Sir.

[Sniffing]

Sir.

Let me see.

I searched all over the place.

I didn't find any such prescriptions.

My father had performed Puja for

escaping from debt.

He never told us about what it was.

Everything was done secretly.

It was inside the draw.

He never told me about performing

any Puja.

But...

But he had been fasting for

a long time.

After fighting with my bro-in-law,

my sister had been living with me

for some time.

The day before my sister died,

I heard some noise early in

the morning.

I got up to see what it was.

She was in a hurry to go somewhere.

I asked her where she was going.

She told that she is going to

an auspicious place,

and would tell me about it after

coming back.

But later...

Was there any problem before

the incident?

Look at me.

Was there any problem?

Nothing like that.

Tell me if you remember anything.

Sir, that is...

Thiruchendoor Madam.

No, you should not keep it there.

Keep it that side.

Swamiji, someone has come to

meet you.

I'm Giri Shankar.

CPO of Nedumpara police station.

I can see struggle on your face.

What do you want to know about?

Swami,

Can you tell me what are all

these Pujas for?

Do you teach these here?

Are the people who have performed

these Pujas still alive?

No.

Everybody has been murdered.

These rituals are not taught

in here,

or in any other places that

teach Tantras.

The Yagnas and sacrifices stipulated

in this chit,

belong to the ancient evil rituals

of consuming souls.

In the Hindu Tradition in India,

these are evil rituals.

Sorry, Swami.

I do not understand what

you are saying.

There are some evil rituals that came

all the way from Tibet,

and spread in India,

especially among the people

of Vanga, and North India.

This is one among them.

A person is prepared to leave his body,

after doing certain Pujas and rituals,

and during the new moon day,

he is lead towards death.

They believe that, such souls could

be embraced,

and through it, they can attain

immortality

and supernatural powers.

A regressive and cruel belief.

Is there anyone who perform

such rituals now?

A person with a sound mind

will not do so.

But there are certain people who

doesn't have a sound mind.

People who have strange behavior

by birth.

The science of Tantras say that,

they are depended on the

past Karmas.

But psychartists call it as

psychoneurosis,

psychosis etc.

Swami,

Is it in a special place

or in a temple, that these rituals

are being conducted?

Before, such evil rituals were there

among the tribals.

I have heard that such a temple

was there

in the Kerala-Tamilnadu border,

inside the forests.

Such rituals were performed

by transgenders

who were born in Vasu Panchaka

Panchami.

As a consequence of concerted

efforts of our preachers,

they stopped performing evil rituals.

But I slightly remember the ritual of

taking a lamp into the place,

once in an year, and that

was continued

for many years.

It is said that the place was destroyed

in a land slide.

There was a book in our library that

marked the route map

to reach that place.

But that went missing after a problem

that occurred here.

Earlier,

a student who came here for

learning Tantras,

was caught red handed for performing

Pujas at the grave yard,

in a female costume.

It was a very strange explanation

that we got from him.

According to Tantric science,

out of the 10 pranas, (breath)

the last prana to leave our

body is Dhananjaya Prana.

When the dead body burns

in the pyre,

due to the explosion of bones

on the waist,

Dhananjayan will go out,

and the Prana (life force)

that is being sacrificed

will enter another body.

But he says that he can receive that

Prana into his own body,

and can become immortal through

the act.

Didn't I tell you about people

with strange behavior?

He is such a person.

After he left, we noticed that,

the book was missing.

Do you remember his name,

or any other details?

No.

This is an incident that occurred

years back.

There after, I haven't heard of

him anymore.

Haven't you gone somewhere and

studied Tantric rituals?

So, you must be able to understand

these by reading them.

What are these rituals all about?

I don't know anything about it.

Don't you suggest such rituals

yourself?

This is Tamil.

I don't know Tamil much.

Let me see.

Towards the end of it,

it is speaking about Kabbala sacrifice.

It is a special Puja conducted

somewhere in Tamilnadu.

Somebody has told me about it.

Who is that?

Yes, our Manoharan.

Our Dorai Swami knows about it.

He is the one who told

about it to me.

He is here to perform a Puja

for Lakshmi.

Let's ask him right away.

Swami is here.

Swami.

He is Giri.

He is a police officer of this station.

Where are these Pujas happening,

did you say?

In a temple deep inside the forests

of Tamilnadu.

Deep inside means?

I don't know about it.

I'm leaving.

Okay.

- Manohar.

- Yes.

I want to know something about

a case from him.

- Come with me.

- No problem.

Swami.

You know,

Giri wants to know something

from you.

I want you to predict something

regarding a case.

Sorry, I'm really busy.

Please don't say no.

Giri is very close to me.

Okay, I agree as Manoharan

insisted.

Got it?

Come to my house.

Predictions are done only

from there.

Everyone in our place go to Swami's

house for predictions.

I'll also go.

Will you give me your mobile number?

384186.

But,

This number was given to me by

someone else as your number.

This is not my number.

Oh!

Okay, Swami.

Yes, Sir.

Giri.

You received the video not from

the phone that contain.

Karup Dorai's number that

you gave.

Its IMI number is different.

Is it?

Yes.

What if he has two numbers?

That's possible.

I really suspect Dorai.

Anyway, I'm going to meet him.

Okay, then.

This case has been a headache

for us, for a long time.

You must help us, Swami.

This is for the first time, a policeman

is approaching me for help.

You will not have to be

disappointed.

They are not deaths.

Death is when the time takes the

soul into the hands of death.

But these souls that left the body before

the time, hasn't reached death.

This is a sacrifice.

And not death.

Souls leaving the body before time,

is either suicide,

or murder.

For us, both are crimes.

Investigation will take place.

That is how ordinary people think.

Even the Goddess hasn't killed

the demons.

But she removed the evil from them,

and made them a part of her.

In the world of ordinary people,

only their laws are executed.

Pure souls could be identified by

enlightened people.

When he seeks immortality by

consuming the soul,

even the soul becomes immortal.

The silly laws made by the ordinary

humanbeings are irrelavant

amidst the process that has

been there

since the beginning of the universe.

Swami.

I'm a police officer.

For me, and my department,

these are murders committed

by a psychopath.

We will find the culprit.

And we will give the punishment

that he deserves.

Okay?

Good.

I've already told you about what

appeared in my vision.

I don't see anything more than

than this.

So, nothing more to say.

What foolishness have you done?

Why did you talk to him as if

you suspect him?

Now then, he wouldn't move.

Dear Sir,

If I'm right, he is like me.

If you challenge him, that will

hurt his ego.

So, he will definitely go behind it.

It is just a day more for

the new moon.

I'm going to stay here itself.

I want to follow him.

Sir, Sukumaran Sir is calling me.

- Let me pick his call.

- Okay.

Yes, Sir.

Hey, Giri...

I got a call from the cyber cell.

Karup Dorai's second number has

been switched on in this area.

In the jurisdiction of our station?

How is that possible?

I haven't moved from here.

He hasn't gone outside either.

Then, how would his phone be switched on,

in our jurisdiction?

Anyway, it has been switched on here.

Giri,

Your calculation has gone wrong

somewhere.

The subscriber is currently switched off.

Please try after sometime.

Sir, I haven't gone wrong.

He himself is the culprit.

He is not here.

We want to find where he is taking

people to.

I'm going to the Madam.

Will you go and speak to Manoharan?

He must know something about it.

Okay, Sir.

This is not needed.

- We will file another one.

- Okay, Sir.

Sukumaran Sir.

I'm Manoharan.

Saw your missed calls.

What's the matter, Sir?

Where were you?

I've been trying to get you

since yesterday.

Sir, I was gone to a temple

with my family.

There was no range there.

Now, I'm about to reach my home.

Okay.

Come to the station immediately.

It is urgent.

I don't have a clear idea about

the way to the temple.

The temple of the tribes

is somewhere deep inside of the

forests of Kottakudi Hills.

May be,

if you ask any elderly forest officer,

you can identify the way.

I'm sure that the temple is in the forest

of Kottakudi Hills.

On the day the lady died,

his vehicle was parked on the

way to the hills.

Swamiji told that we can identify the way

if we ask any elderly forest officer.

I know a person who worked in the

forest department in that area.

He has retired.

Sir, do one thing.

Give me his address and

phone number.

I'll go and meet him.

Okay.

Long back,

this was a place where human

sacrifices were conducted.

It was the then tribal head who

told me that

there was such a temple deep inside

the forest of Kottakudi hills.

But the place was destroyed

in a land slide long back.

Sir.

I want to locate the place in

connection with

the investigation of a very

important case.

Can you help me in any manner?

Let me see.

I've got an old map belonging

to the forest department.

Using that, I'll tell you an approximate

location of the place.

Hello, Sukumaran Sir.

Sir, if the map showed by the

range officer is right,

I've reached his spot.

Giri, there is a bad news.

What? Bad news?

He has taken Manoharan's daughter

for some Puja.

Sir.

La... Lakshmi?

Yes.

Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Hello, Sir.

Hello.

Shucks!

There is no range.

Lakshmi...

Too bad.

Not able to connect him.

Lakshmi.

Lakshmi.

Hey, Lakshmi.

Lakshmi.

Hey, Lakshmi.

Lakshmi.

You will be hanged tomorrow.

I'll send the video of you going to

steal, to everyone.

Untie me.

The people will say that,

you committed suicide out of the

humiliation of getting caught.

Lakshmi.

These are the sacrifices

that empower a transsexual

humanbeing like her,

to win the universe, and to

defeat death,

that is normally not possible for an

ordinary humanbeing.

Your classmate Lakshmi just

passed this way.

Her family is conducting a lot of Pujas,

and offerings to the Lord.

Still, she is not getting a good

marriage alliance.

Transgenders who were born in

Vasu Panchaka Pamnchami

were the people who performed

such rituals.

Giri.

The video that you received was

not sent from the phone,

that contain Karup Dorai's number,

that you gave.

Giri.

Who are you looking for?

Our relatives scorned us saying that

a transgender kid was a curse

to the family.

So, we moved from that place

to here.

When Dorai Swami told that we

needed to conduct a Puja

inorder to remove the bane,

I ageed to it, thinking about

her good future.

Initially, I used to go along with her

for the Puja.

But later, she insisted on not

going with her.

And she started going alone.

Where was the Puja?

At Dorai Swami's house.

Hasn't you daughter ever told you

about this place?

We thought that she was going to

Dorai Swami's house for Puja.

But...

I don't believe that my daughter

will support such cruelty.

Certain people have the ability to

brainwash normal people

and make them believe superstition.

Dorai Swami is such a kind of person.

[Chanting prayers for the destruction

of the enemy]

Lakshmi.

Lakshmi.

No.

Please believe me.

He is using you.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Lakshmi.

Lakshmi.

Lakshmi.

Lakshmi.

Lakshmi.

After a few months.

Lakshmi, who had been a prey to

black magic and superstition,

is coming back to normalcy.

The doctors informed the court.

Lakshmi, who had born as

a transgender

was apprehensive about her mental

and physical states.

It is the humiliation and isolation

that she had to suffer right from

her childhood,

that brought Lakshmi close to

Karup Durai

who is a black magician, and

a friend of his father.

Karup Dorai convinced Lakshmi that

her birth is so special,

that she is capable of imbibing

supernatural powers.

That's how he had Lakshmi partenered

in his evil activities.

When you analyse it,

it is Manoharan's superstitious beliefs

that pushed Lakshmi into trouble.

Can't believe that superstition still

exists in this century.

Isn't it?

You cannot generalize everything

as superstition.

There are some truths behind it.

Pillechan, Is Giri here?

No, he hasn't come here today.

May be, he is on duty.

If he is there at the station,

why should we ask you?

Hello, Sir.

- Is Giri inside?

- He has not woken up yet.

- Oh.

- Hey, Giri.

Giri, the Sirs have come.

He got home very late last night.

You need not get tense.

We are here with a good news.

What is it, Sir?

Crime Branch's special investigation team,

SIT has taken you in their team.

What?

Yes.

Posting is in Thiruvananthapuram.

Is it difficult to believe?

Here it is. Look!

Sir.

Got a call from the station.

A thief entered Aiswarya Nerurkar's

house last night.
