Paleri Manikyam Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Katha

Haridas (Mammootty), a private detective, gets an instinctive feeling to investigate this 52 year old unsolved mystery. He also had a personal reason for the investigation of the case, which was as old as him. Manikyam (Maidhili) was the bride of the village idiot Pokkan, who was the son of one of PaleriÕs most desired women, Cheeru (Swetha Menon). The morning after the whole village leaves to see a brand new drama in the town and Pokkan leaves along with a magician to perform some rituals, Manikyam is found dead in CheeruÕs house. An investigation follows when ManikyamÕs brother finds out that she had been murdered. But the case does not reach anywhere, even though the whole town thinks that the rich landlord Ahmed Haji (Mammootty again) is behind the murder. Haridas travels through Paleri finding out more and more about the story of the murder, which had become a legend in the town, 50 years later. He is assisted by his girlfriend Sarayu (Gowri Munjal). HaridasÕ findings form the rest of the story.
