Flix FlashbackIn #WatchWithTNM, we revisit the iconic detective film that spawned three sequels.CrisStrangely, she wore a white sari the day she died. The choice of clothes of young female ghosts in fiction or else widows in conservative households. She too was fiction, inspired, it is said, by a real life story. Omana, the woman who died, became the nucleus of Oru Cbi Diary Kurippu, the 1988 crime film that introduced Sethurama Iyer, one of the most popular characters in Malayalam cinema. Iyer, the detective from Palakkad who solves the mystery of Omana’s death, became so popular that three sequels were made in the next 17 years.

Mammootty played Sethuramaya Iyer, appearing 46 minutes into the film, when the family has lost all hope of finding the truth behind Omana’s death.
