Plot
Rajeevan is a middle-class government employee living with his wife Meera and their two daughters, Jia and Amala. The couple's marriage is already under severe strain because of unresolved personal conflicts.
One day, Rajeevan is unexpectedly trapped inside the ISFC Bank's Vanchiyoor branch during a robbery in which nearly ₹17 crore is stolen. Due to circumstances that are initially unexplained, he is forced to accompany the robbers and soon becomes the prime suspect in the crime after the robbers are killed in a car accident. Both the police and the criminal gang begin hunting him, believing he knows what happened to the missing money.
As the investigation intensifies, Rajeevan is interrogated, assaulted, and pursued from all sides. His already fragile family life deteriorates further. Meera loses faith in him and serves him with divorce papers while attempting to protect their daughters from the growing danger.

Aswin Bharadwaj of Lensmen Reviews said that "Nisam Basheer’s Genre-Blending Thriller Is Fabulous and Flawed in Equal Parts"
Janani K of India Today said that "I, Nobody overstays its welcome, and that keeps it from the greatness it clearly has the ambition for. The promise of a heist thriller with a fresh screenplay treatment is real – the stumble in the last act is what stops it from getting there."
Gopika Is of The Times of India said that "The film is a watchable thriller with enough engaging moments. Its strong performances, social commentary and technical finesse make it worth a watch."
