Aaryan Plot: A Serial Crime Case That Shakes a City
Aaryan revolves around DCP Arivudai Nambi, also known as Anumaar, played by Vishnu Vishal. The investigation begins when a middle-aged writer disrupts a live television broadcast and makes a chilling declaration — he will execute five meticulously planned crimes, revealing each victim’s name exactly one hour before the murder.
The tension escalates when the killer shoots himself during the broadcast, claiming to be the first victim, leaving the police puzzled about how the remaining crimes are being carried out. As more murders unfold, Arivudai Nambi must decode the writer’s plan, uncover the deeper motive and stop the deadly chain of events.
The movie blends psychological elements, investigative drama and action, creating a high-stakes thriller around a deadly mastermind with a twisted mission.
