Dridam

Vijay Radhakrishnan, a newly appointed Sub-Inspector, is posted to the Kuzhinilam Police Station in Idukki district. Shortly after his arrival, a severed human hand is discovered in a plantation, leading police to a mutilated corpse whose identity remains unknown. Around the same time, the station investigates a robbery at Aanamala Finance, a lending company unpopular among local residents due to its predatory practices. The investigation becomes more complex when a second body is recovered from a nearby dam. Forensic examination indicates that both victims were killed in a similar manner, suggesting a connection between the murders. Later, acting on information received from a local source, Vijay and his team discover a third body buried in a plantation. The victim is found holding a gold ornament that is identified as property stolen during the Aanamala Finance robbery. Police identify the deceased as a migrant labourer from Tamil Nadu and learn that he had been working with three other labourers who disappeared after the robbery. Investigators initially conclude that the four labourers committed the theft and that internal disputes over the stolen gold led to a series of killings, leaving one survivor who escaped with the loot. Vijay begins searching for the presumed remaining suspect. The case takes a new direction when a goldsmith reports that a woman attempted to sell a necklace linked to the stolen gold.
