Rekhachithram: Is it based on sister Abhaya case?

The story takes place in the scenic but creepy town of Malakkappara, where Asif Ali's character Vivek is investigating a terrible suicide. A case that seems straightforward at first turns into a complicated web of secrets, which brings Vivek to a missing person's case connected to a movie shoot. 

 

The storyline of the movie revolves around Vivek, a police inspector who becomes involved in the unexplained murder of Rajendran, a guy who had previously admitted to a long-forgotten crime. As the inquiry progresses, it reveals a link to the disappearance of a young girl while Bharathan's 1985 Malayalam film Kathodu Kathoram was being filmed.

 

As the movie unfolds, Rekhachithram masterfully blurs the line between truth and fiction, keeping viewers guessing until the end.
