What is the story of Kalamkaval?

Kalamkaval is a slow burn thriller about a serial killer. It sees Mammootty play the antagonist with raw intensity. Its also his return to the part he plays best - a killer. Mammootty has essayed such roles in numerous films like Munnariyippu and Rorschach. In Kalamkaval, he plays a serial killer who is preying on women. Director Jithin K Jose has also divided the narrative into chapters - chapters from the life of the anti-hero - and as the police investigation by Nath (Vinayakan) progresses, Stanley Das' (Mammootty) courage peaks. The cat and mouse chase and other plot twists forms the core of this slow burn thriller.
