Sethurama Iyer CBI

<p>The movie begins with visiting Isow Alex, a convicted serial killer who is awaiting his execution. Alex was arrested and convicted for the cold-blooded murder of seven people in two different families, unrelated to each other, on the same night. Alex, who had been living a wild life then, had committed the crime high on narcotic drugs. The murder case was left to the CBI for investigation and an able officer, Balagopal, nabbed Alex in no time. Alex is now a new man, mainly due to the influence of a priest, who requests Iyer to visit Alex. What Alex tells Iyer is startling; he didn’t commit one of the seven murders he was convicted for. The murder was that of Manikkunju, a businessman. Manikkunju, along with his daughter-in-law Mosi, was murdered at his house. Alex tells this all the same confessing that he murdered Mosi. The possibility of another killer involved is very remote and Alex is a serial killer who thoroughly denied any hand in the murders when he was arrested, but yet Iyer decides to reopen the case and investigate. He faces many odds; to prove Alex right would be proving his own bureau wrong and to prove Alex wrong would be wasting time and money. Originally, the CBI officer in the film was supposed to be a rough-and-tough cop named Ali Imran. It was Mammootty who suggested that a simple-looking who uses his brains more than his brawn would be a better idea. The film was commercial success and became of the year 2004 and also collected around ₹16 crore from the box office. The film ran around 200 days in theatres.</p>
