Gaganachari

In 2050, global society has collapsed due to environmental and political disasters. Alien megastructures now loom over Earth's surface, and global authorities are aggressively hunting extraterrestrials. In Kerala, a local political outfit named Ajayya Sena claims to protect the public from alien threats while acting as moral police. A team of documentary filmmakers travel to interview Major Victor Vasudevan, a retired soldier known as the "alien hunter" for surviving an alleged alien attack in 2030. He now lives in a bunker on a remote island with his nephew Alan John Valamparambil and their cook, Vaibhav "Vibe". Victor tries to follow traditional Kerala values and dreams of migrating to the moon, now a human colony. He is assisted by an AI named Raghavan. Victor spends his time painting nude portraits of women, and sleeps in a preservation pod to maintain his youth. Vibe leads a playboy lifestyle, while Alan longs for romantic connection. Two corrupt police officers, Rage Kurup and Potti Ambu Madathil, regularly visit to extort them, abusing their unchecked authority. One night, Vibe returns from a party with no memory of how he got home. The group discovers a mute, blue-haired woman inside their bunker, who has eaten Victor's cat, Bhavani. She is a humanoid alien fugitive, misled by Vibe into thinking he would help her reach a station. Her emotional responses cause electromagnetic pulses, which trigger flickering lights and can expose her location to the authorities.
