Memories is a 2013 Indian Malayalam crime thriller film written and directed by Jeethu Joseph, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Vijayaraghavan, Suresh Krishna, S. P. Sreekumar, Miya and Meghana Raj. The film is produced by P. K. Muralidharan and Santha Murali under the banner of Anantha Visions.[1] The film follows Sam Alex (Prithviraj), a drunkard cop, who is forced to investigate a series of murders.

Plot

Sam Alex (Prithviraj Sukumaran) is a police officer who is heavily dependent on alcoholism to ease the pain of his family loss. Sam was a romantic and peaceful family guy, leading a good life with his family. His loving wife Teena (Meghana Raj) and beloved daughter were murdered by his enemy right in front of his eyes, and as a result, he turns into an alcoholic. Sam's supervisor Aravindhaksha Menon (Vijayaraghavan) requests him to proceed with a parallel investigation in a case involving the disappearance and possible kidnapping of several young married men, since the present police team is not able to make any progress in the case. Sam refuses to this. Later, his mother Marykutty (Vanitha Krishnachandran) requests him to take up the investigation.

Sam soon gets into the case files and consults the postmortem documents and the doctors who conducted it. Soon, Sam is seen making a breakthrough in the case. Another two kidnappings happen in the series, and all this leads to Sam's rough conclusion of the killer (S. P. Sreekumar). The killer is an eccentric person, has a limp in his feet, and either hates or loves women. The killer leaves certain clues inscribed by a sharp surgical knife on the chest of the victims. This serves Sam's thinking of what kind of person the killer is and who is his next target.

Upon careful examination of the words inscribed in the body of the victims, Sam uncovers that the words are actually Aramaic, the language Jesus used for communication. The words are later found to point to biblical proverbs, thus helping Sam lead to conclusions that the killer is insane and assumed the victims gave up their lives for the sins committed by their respective wives. He soon figures out that the wives of the kidnapped husbands have links, and they all had to do with a guy who studied with them certain years back. There was no evidence of such a person.

During all these scenes, Sam realizes that there is one last target and the killer will not miss this and he will disappear after that. He eventually finds out that the next target is his own brother Sanju (Rahul Madhav), and his brother's wife is the last link in the connection. Sam finds out with the help of his colleague and other evidences that the killer has a property near Kottayam. He goes there for one last confrontation. The plot of the movie is inspired from Blake Pierce's novel Before He Kills.
