Dejavu (2022) is a Tamil-language mystery thriller directed by Arvindh Srinivasan. The film centers on Subramani, a novelist whose fictional tales begin manifesting in real life. When he writes about the kidnapping of a woman named Pooja, the narrative takes a chilling turn as Pooja, the daughter of DGP Asha Pramod, is abducted under circumstances mirroring his story. This uncanny coincidence thrusts Subramani into a complex investigation, raising questions about his possible extrasensory perception and the blurred lines between fiction and reality.

As the plot unfolds, it’s revealed that Subramani and his son Rahul orchestrated the events to expose a year-old cold case involving the rape and murder of a woman named Janani. Their elaborate plan aims to unveil the corruption within the police force, particularly implicating DGP Asha, who had previously covered up the crime to protect an influential minister’s son. The narrative culminates in a dramatic confrontation where ACP Vikram, Janani’s boyfriend, exposes Asha’s complicity, leading to her downfall. Dejavu weaves themes of justice, retribution, and the moral complexities of taking the law into one’s own hands, offering a gripping tale that challenges perceptions of truth and accountability.
