The template of CBI series of movies is constant. There is a murder. There is the local police. There is the CBI. There are dummies. There is Sethurama Iyer, Chacko, and Vikram. There are many red herrings and finally Sethurama Iyer catches the culprit. In the previous three installments, the crime was just regular murder. For this new version, script writer S.N.Swamy has added a supernatural element as well.
Four years back, Anitha (Gopika) came home to Animangalam Tharavadu with her friends. That night her friends Mythili (Samvritha Sunil) is found dead below the stair case. The house had a locked pooja room, similar to the one seen in Manichitrathazhu and the girls had tried to open it. Police came to investigate and concluded that some ghost was at work. A priest, Kappra (Thilakan) was called to investigate who asks the family to sell the house as soon as possible.
All these were told to Sethurama Iyer when Anitha's fiancée Sai (Jishnu) meets him in the airport. Iyer gets interested in the case and decides to investigate with the help of Chacko (Mukesh) and Vikram (Jagathi). As the investigation proceeds, they find that Mythili had a lover, Pradip, whom none of her family members had seen. He did not even turn up on her death. Also when Mythili's parents asked CBI to investigate, they were threatened by goondas to withdraw the case.
