The film revolves around Rahim who died a mysterious death possesses into body of CID officer's wife prompting the officer to investigate behind his death. The film which began production in 2014 was released on 12 February 2016 to mixed reviews and became successful at box-office. The climax of the movie was reported to be taken straight out of an Agatha Christie novel. Vasu remade the film in Tamil as same name with Raghava Lawrence whose climax revelation scene was reported to have similarities with director's own 1999 movie Malabar Police.

Raheem (Shakthi Vasudevan) and his well-trained pigeon Saara are alone in a coach aboard a train when a blind man enters and reaches to door. Raheem saves the man, a killer, who in turn throws Raheem off the moving train to his death. Raheem's death is ruled a suicide, but Raheem's fiancee Sangeetha (Vaishali Deepak) knows that Raheem had no reason to kill himself. The same night, Raheem appears in Sangeetha's dream and says that he was murdered. The following day, Raheem's case is forwarded to the CID Shiva at Sangeetha's request.

Shiva (Shiva Rajkumar) is a strict CID officer who is married to a thrill-seeker named Sita (Vedhika). The two live near a cemetery. Shiva is assigned Raheem's case and begins the investigation. The same night, Satya sees a ghost of child, and Satya is frighted by this. Shiva, however, cannot see that ghost and thinks that Satya is imagining it. The following day, Shiva visits Raheem's home to investigate Raheem's relationship with his father and with Sangeetha. Shiva suspects Sangeetha's father (Avinash) is responsible for Raheem's death.
