Sethurama Iyer CBI is a Malayalam movie directed by K Madhu and starring Mammootty, Mukesh (actor) and Jagathy Sreekumar got released in beginning of 2004. It is the third film in a series of films starring Mammootty as Sethurama Iyer, a sharp and highly intelligent investigative officer of the CBI. The first two movies were Oru CBI Diary Kurippu (1988) and Jagratha (1989). The fourth movie in the series, Nerariyan CBI, was released on September 8, 2005.

This was the best suspense thriller after Oru CBI Diary Kurippu. Mammootty’s brilliant performance was the highlight of the movie and he reproduced the Iyer character exactly as same as in the first part. Originally, the CBI officer in the film Oru CBI Diary Kurippu was supposed to be a rough-and-tough cop named Ali Imran. It was Mammootty who suggested that a simple-looking Brahmin who uses his brains more than his brawn would be a better idea
