Anchakkallakokkan (2024) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Kollan Shankaran surrendered to get inside the police station and confront Nadavaramban Peter directly. He was not the actual murderer of Chaapra, Peter and Padmini had orchestrated that killing using Kolliyan. Sankaran's real goal was to get close enough to Peter to avenge his daughter's death, which Peter had caused during an epileptic attack.

Foreshadowing: Earlier in the film, the tension between Sankaran and Peter hints at a deeper, personal grudge that goes beyond the murder investigation.

Peter was having an affair with Padmini, Chaapra's former ally and maid. Padmini harbored deep resentment because Chaapra had earlier killed her husband, who was Chaapra's assistant. This personal vendetta, combined with Peter's position, led them to plot Chaapra's death.

Foreshadowing: The affair between Peter and Padmini is hinted at when the investigation reveals their connection through questioning the maid.

Vasudevan's violent outburst was not sudden, it was the culmination of a lifetime suppressed by fear. His father was a Porat drama artist known for a fierce, demonic stage persona called Kokkan. His mother raised him to fear this 'demon' nature to prevent him from following his father's violent path. When Peter threatened his life, Vasudevan finally embraced these buried impulses to survive.

Foreshadowing: Vasudevan's meek, stammering demeanor throughout the film contrasts sharply with the stories about his father's volatile nature, hinting at what lies beneath.
