Official trailer and plot of Uyir

Uyir follows Ajeeb Rahman, a probationary officer in Kerala who is haunted by the childhood disappearance of his younger sister, an incident that left a lasting emotional impact on him. His life takes an unexpected turn when the decomposed body of an unidentified woman is discovered in an abandoned well.

Alongside assistant officer Joy, Ajeeb looks into the matter and identifies the woman as Shobha, a local manual labourer, through a distinctive tattoo. Although it initially appears that the victim took her own life, Ajeeb suspects that there is more to the story and begins looking deeper. His search leads him to Shobha's estranged husband, Raju, uncovering a complex chain of events that spans multiple states and presents the officers with unexpected challenges.

As Ajeeb gets closer to the truth, the investigation becomes deeply personal, drawing parallels with the unresolved disappearance of his own sister. What begins as a search for answers gradually evolves into an emotional journey connected to long-unsolved missing persons cases, forcing Ajeeb to confront his past while seeking closure.
