But with the influential system and false testimony of the college principal, the wicked gang is let free and is allowed to continue with their studies. The gang includes Satheesh, Joe Joseph, Anu Ramachanran, Rakhi and Anand. After the titles, the movie moves on to another fresh year with the same gang continuing with their menacing activities. In arrives Rohit Menon from [[Bangalore]], to do House Surgency in the same college, who enters into a tussle with the group from day one. The baddies now plot many plans to corner him and get him evacuated from the college but each of them misfires and now they are into one big plot that is sure to kick him out. But this time, something goes haywire and Rohit is killed. The gang somehow buries him in the hostel premises, but the Commissioner Sudeep Hariharan who is after the case is more than intimidating for them to handle. Each one in the group gets mysteriously killed by Rohit's supposed spirit. Joe gets killed in an [[Anatomy\|anatomy lab]], by hanging; Rakhi gets beaten to death in a forest; Anand got tied and left on the road where a truck passes on to him; Anu is killed in a hospital using a scalpel. Satheesh is suspected for these murders. He gets arrested for Rohit's murder but gets released on bail after a false evidence given by a police officer who is Satheesh's man. That night Sudeep catches them and confirms that Satheesh's fate will be the same. After many twist and turns, Sudeep discovers that Rohit is alive and arrests him from Satheesh's house where Rohit was trying to kill him. On questioning, Rohit reveals that his real name is Anantha Krishnan and the real Rohit died in an accident years ago. He also admits that he had murdered Satheesh's friends on purpose. Digging deeper, Sudeep gets to know Rohit's flashback where it is revealed that Athira, who had been pushed to death by Satheesh and gang, was actually Rohit's love interest. On the night of her death, she was speaking to Rohit in phone and kept it connected, where Rohit witnessed her last breath. From then on, his mind was only up for revenge and the tussle that happened between him and the gang was planned by him to infuriate them. Sudeep understands Rohit's plight and ensures him justice he deserves. However, Rohit takes a vow to kill Satheesh. The next day, Rohit is taken to Satheesh by the policeman, who were Satheesh's right hand man. After a prolonged fight, Rohit, despite warning from Sudeep, kills Satheesh by throwing him down a bridge. Sudeep and his team stay helpless. Rohit, though convinced that his revenge is finally done, he surrenders to Sudeep. ==Cast== {{colbegin}} [[Indrajith Sukumaran]] as Rohit Menon (fake)/ Anantha Krishnan [[Biju Menon]] as [[Deputy inspector general of police\|Commissioner]] Sudeep Hariharan [[Indian Police Service\|IPS]] Rayan Raj as Satheesh Ramakrishnan [[Sandhya (actress)\|Sandhya]] as Anuradha Ramachandran▼ [[Dhanya Mary Varghese]] as Rakhi▼ Sajith Raj as Anand▼ [[Govind Padmasoorya]] as Joe Joseph ▲Sajith Raj as Anand ▲[[Sandhya (actress)\|Sandhya]] as ~~Anuradha~~Anu Ramachandran ▲[[Dhanya Mary Varghese]] as Rakhi [[Jagathy Sreekumar]] as Philip Pothen, College Principal [[Saikumar (Malayalam actor)\|Saikumar]] as Minister Ramakrishnan, Satheesh's father [[Suraj Venjaramoodu]] as Shine Raj (Munthirippadam) [[Abu Salim (actor)\|Abu Salim]] as SI Habeeb▼ Appa Haja as CI Vijayakumar▼ Priya Nair as Amala ▲[[Abu Salim (actor)\|Abu Salim]] as SI[[Circle ~~Habeeb~~Inspector\|CI]] Augustine ▲Appa Haja as CI[[Sub-inspector\|SI]] Vijayakumar [[Dinesh Panicker]] as Ramachandran, Anu's father [[Geetha Vijayan]] as Malathi, Satheesh's mother Line 46 ⟶ 56: [[Mohan Jose]] as Mathai [[Chembil Ashokan]] as MLA Keshavan Kutty [[~~Sasi~~Vijay ~~Kalinga~~Menon]] as ~~Mortuary~~Dr. ~~Mohanan~~Ravindranath KN [[~~Venu~~Sasi ~~Nagavally~~Kalinga]] as ~~real~~Mortuary ~~Rohit Menon's father~~Mohanan [[Venu Nagavally]] as Rohit Menon's father [[Krishna (Malayalam actor)\|Krishna]] as the real Rohit Menon (photo presence) [[Bhama Kurup\|Bhama]] as Athira ([[Cameo Appearance]]) {{Colend}} ==Production== The film was shot during June 2010.<ref>{{cite web \| url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/malayalam/2010/jun/11/kaadhal-sandhya-in-a-cop-film-122746.html \| title='Kaadhal' Sandhya in a cop film \| work=[[The New Indian Express]] \| access-date=2022-05-11 \| archive-date=2022-05-11 \| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220511083122/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/malayalam/2010/jun/11/kaadhal-sandhya-in-a-cop-film-122746.html \| url-status=~~live~~dead }}</ref> == Soundtrack == Line 76 ⟶ 87: ==Reception== A critic from ''[[Sify]]'' wrote that "''College Days'' could be a classic case of not using the resources well.
