The Reporter is a 2015 Indian Malayalam mystery thriller-romance film directed by Venugopan. The film stars Kailash, Samuthirakani, Ananya, and Abhinaya. The shooting was completed in 2012 but the film was released in 2015. The plot is loosely based on the brutal 2012 rape and murder of Soumya and emphasizes how being silent about a crime is a crime in itself.
Eby Mathew was engaged to Sara, who falls prey to one of the most brutal cases of rape and subsequent homicide. The fate of Sara would have been different if the other passengers of the same train were not so ignorant of the glimpses of the unusual. They also prevent Ravi Pillai, a fellow passenger (and a friend of Eby, although he didn't know that Sara was the victim), from responding.
A grief-stricken Eby feels the passengers are as guilty as the criminal, although they are not culprits in the eyes of the law. With the help of Ravi Pillai, he kidnaps each of them to seek revenge but finally lets them go when they regret their failure to prevent the brutalities against Sara.[1]
