CBI 5: THE BRAIN PLOT
The story centres around the 'Basket Killer' murders, which have perplexed investigators, leading to the case being transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation. Officer Sethurama Iyer solves it again, but this time they don't make it look easy.
The CBI 5, the fifth film in the CBI series, was one of the most anticipated releases of Malayalam cinema this year. Although it received mixed reactions from critics on social media after its release, its legacy continues to draw in audiences. The film has been exceedingly successful and grossed a whopping Rs 17 crore in the first 9 days of its release. This is an outstanding feat for a Malayalam movie.

CBI 5: The Brain came out 17 years after the previous film in the series. Aside from being a huge hit with the audience, it was incredible to see an actor reprise his role from 17 years ago. It also made us privy to Mammootty's talent even after all these years.

REASONS WHY THIS CBI FRANCHISE IS SO POPULAR
The Chemistry between Iyer and his colleagues was a key part of what made the previous four movies so popular. Despite Vikram＊s recent retirement, it would still be cool to see more of their interactions.

Watched #CBI5TheBrainOnNetflix with Hindi audio. Was slow at the beginning but picked up after #Mammootty as CBI Office Sethu Iyer came on the scene. Had the feel of an Agatha Christie mystery. 3/5

If you like investigative thrillers go for it, takes too many turns and ending felt not so high coz we end up expecting much more after such story buildup. Overall a good watch#CBI5TheBrainOnNetflix

In all honesty #CBI5TheBrainOnNetflix is somewhat watchable compared to the pretentious masterpiece called #vikram ＃. Though it＊s not a patch on the original CBI films of 80＊s .. it＊s story can keep u engaged and evenly paced ＃
