The film follows Anjali Arakkal (Aparna Gopinath), a junior journalist, who has set out to write an autobiography on convict C.K. Raghavan (Mammootty) who professes that he never committed the crimes he is in prison for. It released on 22 August 2014 to positive reviews. The movie was a critical success.
Anjali Arakkal, a freelance journalist, while interacting with a retiring jail superintendent (Nedumudi Venu) for ghost writing his autobiography, meets C R Raghavan (Mammootty), a prisoner committed for double homicide serving 20 years even after his official term in jail. His preference and oddball comfortability piques Anjali's interest in Raghavan. Though, Raghavan was tried for killing his wife (Ramani) and the daughter of his employer (Pooja Patel). Yet he claims of his innocence every now and then.
With Moorthy's information the young journalist comes to know Raghavan writes. She gets access to his writings in which Raghavan interprets world around him in his own way. Sentences like "Does the reflected image in a mirror looks back at him or does it accepts him and comes along with him"; "A Prison should be a place for people to understand their mistakes and correct them rather than a place for punishment"; "Life as a struggle before death" all these makes her attracted to the mystery Raghavan have built. Further Raghavan's outlook on freedom and responsibility with his own brand of philosophy impresses Anjali and she decides to write a feature about him.
