Abrahaminte Santhathikal (2018) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Brother Simon was a Christian extremist who targeted atheists. He believed killing non-believers was a religious duty, aiming to rid the world of those he considered enemies of Christianity. He specifically targeted nine atheists before being captured.

Foreshadowing: The film opens with a series of murders where the victims are all identified as atheists, establishing the killer's extremist ideology early on.

Brother Simon was found dead with a slash on his throat and a knife in his hand, appearing to be suicide. However, the film reveals at the end that Derick actually killed Simon and staged it as suicide, discarding evidence that could have implicated himself.

Foreshadowing: The timeline notes Derick was suspended due to suspicion around Simon's death, hinting at his involvement long before the reveal.

Philip was arrested because evidence pointed to him: he was Aleena's boyfriend, was drunk that night, and was the last person known to be meeting her. The police, led by Senior Officer Narayana Sethupathi, quickly concluded Philip was guilty despite his protests of innocence.

Foreshadowing: The film establishes early that Philip was drunk and present at the beach where Aleena was killed, making him an easy suspect.

• philip arrested
• aleena murder
• framed
• police investigation

Arun and Salman actually killed Aleena. They were hired killers paid to eliminate her, not Philip. When Aleena came to meet Philip at the beach, Arun and Salman attacked her, believing she was with Philip. They were later revealed to have been paid ₹ ten crore to stay silent and avoid detection.

Foreshadowing: Nisam's revelation that Philip was with him and intoxicated elsewhere on the night of Aleena's death planted seeds of doubt about Philip's guilt.

• arun
• salman
• hitmen
• who killed aleena

Philip escaped with help from Dinesh, a corrupt jail warden, and Senior Officer Narayana Sethupathi. Both Dinesh and Narayana held personal grudges against Derick from past criminal cases involving their sons. They helped Philip break out of custody, fueling his desire for revenge against his brother.

Foreshadowing: The timeline establishes Dinesh and Narayana's animosity toward Derick early, explaining their motivation to sabotage him through Philip.

• philip escape
• jail break
• dinesh warden
• prison break

The exact reason for Nisam's suicide is not explicitly shown, but it occurs right after he reveals to Derick that Philip was with him and did not kill Aleena. His death suggests he was either threatened by the real killers or couldn't bear the guilt and pressure of the case's complexity.

Foreshadowing: Nisam's revelation directly implicates Arun and Salman, creating a dangerous situation that likely led to his silencing.

• nisam suicide
• death
• aleena case
• witness

Philip tried to kill Derick because he felt betrayed. After being wrongly imprisoned and believing Derick had arrested him knowing he was innocent, Philip harbored intense resentment toward his brother. His hatred grew during imprisonment, leading him to attempt revenge when he escaped.

Foreshadowing: While imprisoned, Philip explicitly vows to kill Derick once free, showing his brewing复仇 (revenge) plan.

• philip attack
• supermarket
• attempted murder
• brother betrayal

The kidnappers who took Diana's child were actually part of a larger scheme orchestrated by Derick himself. He used the kidnapping as a trap to draw out Arun and Salman, who were the real culprits in Aleena's murder. The ₹ ten crore ransom demand was part of his plan to expose and eliminate them.

Foreshadowing: Derick's involvement in negotiating the ransom and his strategic positioning during the operation hints at his hidden orchestration.

• diana child
• kidnapping
• ransom
• trap plan

Derick orchestrated a complex plan to clear Philip's name and ensure his safety. He used the kidnapping incident to lure out Arun and Salman, the actual killers. He then killed them himself to eliminate witnesses, arranged Philip's escape, and used the ₹ ten crore ransom money to fund sending Philip abroad for a new life. The entire conspiracy was designed to protect his brother while framing the real murderers.

Foreshadowing: The timeline shows Derick manipulating events from the rescue operation to Philip's farewell, revealing his calculated moves throughout.

• derick plan
• conspiracy
• save philip
• frame culprits
• mastermind

The exact motivation behind Derick killing Brother Simon is not fully explained in the summary. However, as a police officer investigating the serial killings, Derick likely killed Simon to prevent further murders or to control the narrative of the case. His action suggests desperation to end the killings and possibly protect his own position, though the film leaves his reasoning somewhat ambiguous.

Foreshadowing: Derick's suspension following Simon's death and his later manipulation of evidence indicate guilt from the very beginning.

• derick kills simon
• motive
• murder cover up

Philip is sent abroad by Derick to start a new life safely. After bidding an emotional farewell to his brother at the police station, Philip leaves the country, escaping the legal troubles and danger in Kerala. This was part of Derick's orchestrated plan to ensure his brother's survival and fresh start.

Foreshadowing: Derick's farewell scene and the mention of arrangements for Philip's departure hint at his final solution to protect his brother.

• philip fate
• abroad
• new life
• derick sacrifice

Derick was suspended from the police force following Brother Simon's death. The authorities suspected Derick's involvement in Simon's demise, which appeared to be suicide but was actually murder staged by Derick himself. The suspension created a turning point in his career and personal life.

Foreshadowing: The timeline explicitly mentions Derick's suspension due to suspicion around Simon's death, which is later confirmed as Derick's doing.

• derick suspended
• suspension
• police duty
• simon case

Dinesh (the jail warden) and Narayana (a senior police officer) both held personal grudges against Derick from past criminal cases. Their sons had been involved in crimes that Derick had prosecuted, leading them to harbor revenge. When Philip was arrested, they saw an opportunity to hurt Derick by helping his brother escape and creating chaos in his life.

Foreshadowing: The timeline notes their complicity is driven by past grievances, establishing their antagonistic motives early.

• dinesh
• narayana
• grudge
• revenge
• derick enemies
