Suicide Squad) is a 2023 Indian Malayalam-language political action thriller film directed by Tinu Pappachan and written by Joy Mathew.
Musthafa requests Arun, a medical student and the son of a late veteran communist party leader, to provide first aid to Ashokan as he was apparently injured while trying to fix their jeep.
As they are having lunch, Arun overhears Ashokan's conversation between others and understands that they are on the run after killing a Theyyam performer named Kiran.
Arun manages to escape the place when the bomb blasts and reaches a house, where he asks a person living there for some water.
Ashokan, Musthafa and Arun drive to a hideout situated in a hilly region and decides to stay there until GK sends his henchmen over to the police station.
Ashokan and Musthafa succumb to their own injuries, while Arun successfully escapes from the hilly region after the henchman who was chasing him gets blown up after hitting an electrified fence.
