Synopsis

Thankamani

The movie opens with the cold-blooded murder of a politician by an unknown assailant. As the investigation unfolds, Arpitha Nath IPS, the lead investigator, discovers similarities between this murder and the killing of a police officer a year earlier. Delving deeper, she connects these crimes to the Thankamani incident and begins unravelling the events of 1986 in the village. This leads her to Abel Joshua Maathan, a Thankamani resident who, like many others, suffered from police brutality. Arpitha learns that Abel is responsible for the murders. But his hitlist includes more people, all involved in the 1986 incident. The rest of the film follows Arpitha's pursuit of Abel and his attempts to fulfil his mission.
