7 Naatkal (transl. 7 days) is a 2017 Indian Tamil language mystery thriller film directed by Gautham VR and written by P. Vimal Kumar. The film stars Shakthi and Nikesha Patel alongside an ensemble cast of Prabhu, Ganesh Venkatraman, Nassar, Angana Roy, Rajeev Govinda Pillai, and M. S. Bhaskar, among others, playing supporting roles. The music was composed by Vishal Chandrasekhar with cinematography done by M. S. Prabhu and editing by M. Jesvin Prabu. The film was released on 2 June 2017 to moderate success.
The plot starts off with the murder of Jennifer (Angana Roy), a ballet dancer. Owing to evidence and assumptions, all fingers point to Siddharth (Rajeev Govinda Pillai), the son of Vijay Raghunath (Prabhu), a business tycoon. Vijay is worried over his son's future as the latter's engagement has been fixed. He seeks the help of his adopted son, Sai Prasad (Ganesh Venkatraman), a crime branch officer. Prasad starts investigating the issue with the help of his assistant, Bhaskar (M. S. Bhaskar).
The investigation takes them to Gautham Krishna (Shakthi Vasudevan), an RJ in a private FM station, and his neighbour Pooja (Nikesha Patel). Prasad is after a confidential DVD which was once possessed by Gautham's friend, who is no more. Knowing that the DVD is with Pooja, the henchmen set by Prasad kidnap her and start following Gautham's movements. Gautham, who gets a lead about Pooja from his pet Siberian Husky, Blackie, rescues her, and the two set out to solve the mystery of the case, with the help of Peter S. Kumar (Nassar), a former police officer.
