The prisoner is a Hindu extremist accused of murder, fleeing a Muslim extremist (Prithviraj Sukumaran) seeking vengeance. The film evolves into a "home invasion" thriller where the characters must choose between their religious identities and their shared humanity.
– The antagonist who believes he is righteous. A Brahmin man whose brother was killed. He uses bhagavad gita verses to rally his men. Murali Gopy’s monologue comparing mob violence to karma is the film’s most chilling scene—not because it is evil, but because it is sincere.
The final shot is devastating: a baby crying over bodies of Hindus and Muslims. The title card appears. No resolution. Only the next generation inheriting the blood.
The story follows Ibrahim (Roshan Mathew), a man grappling with the loss of his family in a natural disaster, which has left him questioning his faith. His quiet life with his father (Mamukkoya) and brother is upended one night when an injured police officer arrives at their home seeking refuge for a handcuffed prisoner.
The absence of background score during the final 20 minutes is deliberate. Only heavy breathing, whispered prayers, and wet sounds of stabbing. The director forces you to hear every death, not just see it.
