Paleri Manikyam streaming on Sun NXT

The thriller, which is available for streaming on Sun NXT and OTTplay Premium, is based on T P Rajeevan's book of the same name. The literary work is purported to be the true account of Kerala's first murder case ever. The film's supporting cast includes Mythili, Shwetha Menon, Gowri Munjal, Suresh Krishna, and Siddique.

It tells an account of a 1950s murder that was never solved because there was insufficient proof and an inadequate probe. However, Sarayu, a crime analyser, works with detective Haridas to investigate this case. They continue to monitor leads and suspects even after 52 years of the incident. They learn gradually that there was an influential landlord involved. Haridas makes every effort to discover that the son of the landlord committed the crime.
