The film also has some superb confrontation scenes between Sethurama and his opponent Devadas (Sukumaran) from the Kerala Police (which the former wins hands down). Despite appearing sombre and unnaturally calm on the outside, his eagerness to solve the case shines through. He is almost Gandhian in his attitude-when his subordinate loses his calm, it’s he who calms him down- and is exceptionally generous and gracious with his colleagues, encouraging them to chip in with their own suggestions, even if it means contradicting him. Along with being a deftly paced, edgy, no-song narrative, the characterisation of Sethurama, a subversion of the flamboyant celluloid cop, also adds to the movie’s charm. Enter CBI officer Sethurama Iyer ( Mammootty), who clinically unravels the mystery. When the state police is accused of bias, her family requests the CBI to investigate the case. A visually impaired pianist’s world careens into a series of shocking twists after he unintentionally lands at the murder scene of a former film star.

Madhu, begins with the death of Omana, the daughter-in-law of an influential businessman. Loosely inspired by a sensational murder in Kerala, the film, written by S.N.
