CID Moosa is one of the landmark films in the Malayalam cinema. Starring Dileep in the lead, the movie was helmed by Johny Antony, from a script written by Udaykrishna–Sibi K and Thomas. The film earlier this week completed 20 years. And Dileep, who was also the film's producer, sprung a surprise by announcing that the sequel to the movie is in the works. "Moosa is Returning Soon, 20 years of CID Moosa #CIDMoosa," he captioned the trailer he shared on his Instagram page to commemorate the film's 20th anniversary.

CID Moosa was released in cinemas on July 4, 2003, and instantly became a hit at the box office. It is a delightful comedy that offers an entertaining and humorous experience from start to finish. The movie revolves around Moosa, a bumbling but well-meaning private detective played by Dileep. With his quirky team of misfits, Moosa sets out on a mission to thwart an assassination attempt against Kerala's chief minister.

The film boasts a fantastic ensemble cast, including Bhavana, Jagathy Sreekumar, and Ashish Vidyarthi, who deliver stellar performances and add depth to their respective characters. The film is packed with witty dialogues, clever one-liners, and slapstick comedy leaving the viewers in splits. The well-executed action sequences and lively musical numbers added to the film's appeal.

CID Moosa managed to successfully blend comedy, suspense, and action, creating an engaging and lighthearted cinematic experience.
