Nooravathu — Naal Sathyaraj

The film follows Geetha (Saritha), who is murdered. Her spirit is believed to be active until the 100th day. The film's tension revolves around whether her spirit will identify the killer. Sathyaraj plays Inspector Rajasekhar, a rational, no-nonsense police officer initially skeptical of supernatural claims but forced to confront them as the investigation proceeds.

Unlike his later larger-than-life, comedic or angry-young-man roles, Sathyaraj delivers a restrained, naturalistic performance here. He anchors the film's rational perspective, providing a necessary counterbalance to the supernatural elements. His chemistry with the other leads and his methodical unraveling of the mystery are highlights. nooravathu naal sathyaraj
