What happens

C.I.D Moosa is a 2003 Indian Malayalam-language action comedy film directed by Johny Antony, written by the script-writing duo Udaykrishna–Sibi K. Thomas, and co-produced by Dileep. It stars Dileep in the title role of a private detective, and features an ensemble cast of Bhavana, Ashish Vidyarthi, Sharat Saxena, Murali, Harisree Ashokan, Cochin Haneefa, Jagathy Sreekumar, Vijayaraghavan, Captain Raju, Oduvil Unnikrishnan, Sukumari, and Salim Kumar. The film follows Moolamkuzhiyil Sahadevan, popularly known as CID Moosa, a young man from a police family who sets out to prove his worth as a detective while uncovering a terrorist plot. The film was released in 4 July 2003. It was a box office success, becoming the second highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year, behind Balettan. Known for its slapstick comedy, it has developed a cult following. C.I.D Moosa was remade in Tamil as Cheena Thaana 001, in Kannada as CID Eesha and in Telugu as Ramachari. A sequel has been rumoured to be in the works by the makers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
