Official trailer and plot of Agnyathavasi

Set in the misty forests of Malnad in the 90s, Agnyathavasi follows the story of a quiet village untouched by modernity. The local police station, inactive for years, springs to life when scholar Srinivas Iyer is found dead. While it appears natural at first, growing suspicion leads Inspector Govindu to register a rare case. He begins an investigation with the help of his colleague Ananthu.

As they search for answers, a young man named Rohit arrives in the village, bringing its first computer. He connects with Arun, Iyer’s estranged son, via email. Though Arun never visits, his digital presence stirs deep emotions, especially in Pankaja.

The narrative slowly reveals a mysterious element called Pashambara—an object or idea tied to death and silence. Through rituals, letters, and forgotten memories, the investigation unfolds. The focus shifts from finding a killer to uncovering what has long remained hidden in the village's stillness.
