Grand Master's Kitchen, a multi-cuisine restaurant opened by director B. Sreelekshmy V as Dakshayini Chandrasekhar.Arjun Nandhakumar as Mark Roshan / Roshan Mathew.Priyamani as Advocate Deepthi, wife of Chandrasekhar.The film then ends with Chandrasekhar and Deepthi, along with their daughter, finally together again in their house. In a last-minute attempt to avenge his brother, Mark tries to jump from the stage to murder Deepthi with a dagger, but is shot to death by Chandrasekhar, thus saving Deepthi's life. He had planned for Victor to commit the final murder on Deepthi during the play, but attempted to use the scenery of the fight between Chandrasekhar and Victor to complete his plan. Then, Mark also confessed that, disguised as a priest, he manipulated Victor, a schizophrenic patient, into believing that he had committed the murders himself. It's quite a long winding story and it just about stays fixed there, sticking out like an appendage.Mark confesses that he has held a grudge against the women for his brother's death, which Chandrashekhar had already known. Of course the worst part of it is the climax when they grab the least susceptible one from the crowd and build a story around to make it all seem logical. No prizes for guessing the perpetrator of the crimes hence, and the only thing that's left for you to is to wait patiently for the motive to roll out. It's quite difficult to script a whodunit these days, with the intelligence of the audience working overtime to figure out who the killer might be. And when people start getting hacked according to the first letter of their names, you shudder for a moment thinking if it could be quite a long wait till one reaches the dreaded last letter. It's all a matter of chance that Chandrasekhar chooses the one decisive letter from the heap one that has been signed 'Z'. There are plenty of cliches lying along the way as he goes ahead with the investigation. For a change, he decides to take on a real adversary. Instead he shakes off the lethargy and gets off from his table where he had playing chess for a long while now. Like the Grand Master in 'Knight Moves' Chandrasekhar doesn't get accused of the murders himself. ![]()
