Forensic is a 2020 Indian Malayalam-language psychological thriller film co-written and co-directed by Akhil Paul and Anas Khan in their directorial debut.

[2] The film stars Tovino Thomas, Mamta Mohandas, Saiju Kurup, Renji Panicker, and Reba Monica John.

[3] A young boy steals the organs of slaughtered animals from a local butcher and preserves them in jars underneath his bed.

This incident has caused their other surviving child Nayana to undergo counselling with a psychologist, Dr. Alphonse Kurien as a result of the trauma.

Initially dismissive at first, Rithika is forced to accept Samuel's theory as an eyewitness reveals to having witnessed a boy dumping a dead body, though she does so in grace.

Due to the intern Shikha's insight, it is discovered that this DNA matches perfectly with that of the Burma Colony murderer ten years earlier.

Samuel decides to examine every one of the hundreds of medical and police personnel present at the hospital during the last abduction, for which DNA samples are procured with the help of Abdul Wahab and Alphonse.

Rithika zeroes in on Reuben and captures him from a church, Samuel is baffled to find that not a single DNA from the collection matches the one on the candy wrapper.

At their residence, Samuel is informed by Shikha that a Violet Honda Civic car could be seen near the station premises in the footage around the time of Reuben's suicide.

Noticing the exact model right outside his gate, Samuel proceeds to check the vehicle, only to get knocked out and abducted by Ubaid.

A flashback shows that Alphonse was the boy, who killed his father for smuggling organs, but was leading a normal life for his wife.

Dr. Alphonse buries his son's body and kills one more child just to prove to the police the Ubaid isn't the real killer.

A few days later, Rithika applies for a 2-month leave to spend time with her family before which she will be handed a new case file for which she requests the same forensic team.
