Cadaver

Cadaver

The film starts off with a mystery man abducting and cruelly murdering Salim Rahman, a chief heart surgeon at a reputed JC hospital in the city. Bhadra Thangavel, an expert pathologist, aids the city's ACP Vishal in handling the case. Alongside, we also witness a prisoner, Vetri, in prison, who had already vowed to kill Salim Rahman by drawing his portrait on the walls of his cell. As this news leaks out, the commissioner and the pathologist are left with no choice but to interrogate Vetri. Despite being in captivity, Vetri manages to kill his second target just as he vowed. This shocks the entire city, and they realize someone is helping him from the outside. Later, the film revolves around Vetri, his late wife Angel, and their connection to the case. Angel was actually pregnant at the time of her death, and the autopsy done was by none other than Salim Rahman. Bhadra raises a question with Vishal as to why a heart surgeon needs to conduct Angel's autopsy as her cause of death was due to blood loss from her head. That is when they find out that something is fishy with Angel's autopsy: the autopsy has never been done, and her heart is missing. Vishal is transferred to another city, and Bhadra thinks over the case. It is then revealed that Bhadra met Angel before on a bus. She was returning back from a village to Vetri. Angel shows a locket to Bhadra in which she wants to keep miniature photos of her marriage with Vetri and their unborn child.
