The film tells the story of Major Sivaram, the special officer in charge of the investigation of Rajeev Gandhi assassination. They track down the convicts in 90 days, thus the title. The film not only deal with the nail-biting investigation and the final showdown with Sivarasan, it also shows the emotional turmoil that the team went through during the period.

One of the interesting thing they have used real names for the characters in the movie. They haven�t changed the names of Rajeev Gandhi, Sivarasan, Nalini, Thanu etc

Tulip Joshi, a North Indian actress is also playing an important role in the film, which also has Lalu Alex, Kalabhavan Mani, Sai Kumar, Innocent, Kiran Raj Radhika and Baburaj among others. Cochin Haneefa plays a NSG doctor, who is specially trained to rescue convicts trying to suicide using cyanide, and to give medical assistance to the squad. Apart from Mammootty, the special squad consists of Jolly, Dennis, Shyam and Anil. Like Major Ravi, Anil was also in original NSG squad that hunted down Sivarasan. Shyam is a popular VJ of Kiran TV.

Major Ravi who has also written the script says it will give inside account on the Rajeev Gandhi assassination investigation. But the director has clarified that the movie will not discuss any historical or political issues regarding the assassination. Thiru is the cameraman of this racy thriller being made by Sasi Ayyanchira for Sri Utrithati films.
