Dileep has been in the news ever since he started his own production and distribution company to launch his new film, CID Moosa. Ever since the actor started this film, it has grabbed a lot of attention.

Every hero worth his box-office value loves to play a super hero action film irrespective of the fact whether he has a romantic, comedy or serious image. Dilip produces CID Moosa along with brother Anoop under the banner of Grand Productions. Directed by debutante Johny Antony, the film has Dileep in the title role supported by an impressive array of artists.

Sahadevan (Dileep) is the son a police constable (Oduvil Unnikrishnan) in the dog squad. Sahadevan has only one ambition and that is to join the police department and for that he has cleared the exams and is waiting for the physical test. But he has an enemy, his own brother-in-law Peethambaran (Jagathy Sreekumar) who does not like him. Along with the police commissioner (Ashish Vidyarthi), Peetambaran sees that Sahadevan does not clear his physical test.

But Sahadevan does not give up and becomes a private detective and calls himself CID Moosa. He has Arjun, a smart dog who was condemned for mercy killing by the police dog squad and a funky car that sprays chilli powder and throws marbles to assist him. Moosa's mission is to save the life of state chief minister (Murali) who is under death threat from a group of terrorists. Moosa has a lover Meena (Bhavana) who is a Gujarati girl. Bhavana is wasted in the role of a north Indian with whom Dileep falls in love. We get to hear a lot of atrocioius Hindi, which is not even heard in Mumbai.

Dileep and his debutant director Johnny have copied scenes fom various Hollywood comedies like K- 9, Police Academy and Austin Power series along with Spiderman and Superman costumes to bring children to the theatre. On the whole, the film is watchable, yes, but it is nowhere near the good, old comedies the industry used to churn out.
