Drishya

Georgekutty is an orphan who had dropped out of school after 4th grade, but is now a businessman running a cable TV service in a rural area. He is married to a woman named Rani and they have two daughters, Anju and Anu. His only interest apart from his family is watching films and he spends most of his time in front of the TV in his small office.

During a nature camp, Anju gets photographed in the bathroom by a hidden cell phone belonging to a boy named Varun Prabhakar, who is the spoiled son of police Inspector General Geetha Prabhakar. Varun tries to blackmail Anju to have sex with him or he will post the pictures on social media. When Rani finds out about this and confronts Varun, he retaliates by demanding Rani to have sex with him instead. Enraged, Anju tries to hit Varun's phone but she hits Varun on his head and Varun dies immediately. Horrified by what happened, Rani and Anju hide his body in a compost pit, which is witnessed by Anu. Rani narrates the incident to Georgekutty, who devises a plan to save his family from the law. He removes the broken cell phone and disposes of Varun's car, which is seen by the corrupt police constable Sahadevan, who has a grudge against Georgekutty. To ensure things go smoothly, Georgekutty takes his family out on a trip to Thodupuzha to pray in a church, watch a movie and eat at a restaurant.

Upon seeing that Varun has gone missing, Geetha starts an investigation. After a preliminary inspection, she calls Georgekutty and his family in for questioning. Predicting that this would happen, Georgekutty had already taught his family how to change their alibi at the time of murder. When questioned individually, they give the same replies. Georgekutty also presents the bill of the restaurant, the movie tickets and the bus tickets as proof of their alibi. Geetha questions the owners of the establishments they claim they have been to, and their statements prove Georgekutty's alibi. However, Geetha deduces that Georgekutty had probably faked the evidence and established his alibi by actually going on a trip with his family to the same establishments later; some time after the murder, Georgekutty met the owners again, and during those meetings, he had cleverly misdirected them saying they had visited Thodupuzha on a different date.

With that in mind, Geetha arrests Georgekutty, Rani, Anju and Anu, and orders Sahadevan to use brute force to beat the truth out of them. Eventually, Anu gives in after witnessing Sahadevan hurting her family and reveals the place where she saw the body buried. Meanwhile, Geetha and her husband learn from Varun's friend Alex about his true intentions with Anju, and are shocked to realize their son was a perverted teenager who tried to **** his classmate. However, on digging the compost pit, they police find the carcass of a calf, as Georgekutty, having anticipated their moves, shifted Varun's body elsewhere. With no evidence to prove that Georgekutty and his family had murdered Varun, Georgekutty gets Anu to publicly speak out against Sahadevan and gain public support, resulting in Sahadevan being chased away by a mob and later suspended for battery and assault. All charges against Georgekutty and his family are dropped, while Geetha resigns from her post, presumably out of guilt.

Later on, Geetha and her husband apologise to Georgekutty and his family for their behavior, holding themselves responsible for spoiling Varun in the first place and pleading to know what happened to him. A remorseful Georgekutty indirectly confesses that he covered up his family's accidental murder of Varun to protect them, but assures that what happened was nothing personal as they are truly sorry for Varun's death. Now in remand, Georgekutty signs a register at the newly constructed local police station, where the new Inspector warns that Georgekutty won't be fooling him and the police will find Varun's body sooner or later. As Georgekutty leaves, a flashback shows him leaving the incomplete police station with a shovel in hand, revealing that he has hidden Varun's body in the foundations of the police station itself.
