What did the two gentlemen find?

Cuttputlli begins with two gentlemen on their morning walk, talking about the falling crime rate in Parwanoo, Himachal Pradesh. However, their conversation is abruptly interrupted when their dog smells a foul smell nearby. This leads them to the grim discovery of a young girl's lifeless body. The news quickly spreads throughout the city as speculation arises about a possible serial killer targeting schoolgirls.

Arjan Sethi has long been fascinated by understanding the minds of serial killers. He grew up in a law enforcement household and became accustomed to hearing about various cases from his father. After graduating, Arjan wrote a script inspired by these dark tales, but received rejection from numerous producers.

During the Rakhi celebration, Arjan's sister and brother-in-law asked him to consider a career in the police. Discouraged by the constant rejection in the film industry, he reluctantly agrees. After completing the written exams and undergoing rigorous training, Arjan takes up the role of Junior Superintendent at the Kasauli branch where his brother-in-law works. But instead of being taken seriously, he is given small tasks that frustrate him greatly.

What connection did Arjan find between the murders?

On his first day, Arjan comes across a case that interests him. He observes a recurring motif of a gift box left at the crime scene and makes a connection between the recent murder of a teenage girl and the earlier murder shown in the opening scene. Despite his efforts to convey this to the stern and formidable SHO, Gudia Parmar, she rejects his theory as the gift box was not found in the first murder.

However, Arjan remains adamant that a serial killer is on the loose and decides to find out the truth. His search leads him to a breakthrough at the girls' school, where he discovers that the perpetrator actually left a gift box behind. However, since it was left at the school gate, it was taken to the lost and found department.

Although the SHO is unable to grasp the significance of the clues, Arjan catches the DSP's attention with his thorough analysis of both cases. The autopsy findings reveal striking similarities between the two deceased. Realizing the possible breakthrough, the DSP assigns Arjan to investigate and orders him to arrest the perpetrator before another victim is claimed.

Who was Purushottam Tomar?

The audience is soon introduced to another character: Mr. Purushottam Tomar. Tomar is a math teacher at Arjan's niece Payal's school, which exploits young and at-risk girls. Tomar's next victim is Payal, who traumatizes her by believing that she deserves punishment. As time passes, Arjan along with other police officers reaches the school premises and saves Payal from Tomar.

In a fit of rage, Arjan brutally injures Tomar and he is hospitalized. At the hospital, Arjan and his brother-in-law try to get Tomar to admit to the murders, but he denies it. However, he accepts the fact that he raped young girls. During Payal's sixteenth birthday party, Arjan receives an emergency call from the hospital. He rushed there and found Purushottam fleeing. In the heat of battle, Arjan defeats Tomar to save the SHO.

Meanwhile, Payal mysteriously disappears from her house and is nowhere to be found. Payal's disappearance suggests that the killer is still active and not Tomar. Two days later, as Arjan makes his way to the police station, he notices a bloody piece of plastic sticking out of the trunk of his car. When he opens the trunk, he tragically discovers her niece's lifeless body inside.

Cuttputlli: What clue did Arjan get from Divya?

Payal's tragic murder deeply disturbs Arjan. He decides to arrest the murderer despite his suspension. Arjan discovers a crucial lead while spending time with Divya, Payal's English teacher and potential romantic interest. Divya's niece's hearing aid is receptive. This discovery leads him to a hospital, where he finds a similar hearing aid that one of the victims was wearing.

Arjan discovers a distinctive piano piece after listening to the tragic screams captured on the recording. He takes it to a local radio station in hopes of identifying it. After several failed attempts, a student recognizes the piece from a magic show at her school. Arjan heads straight to the police station to convince the SHO to search for the murderer together.

When suspicion falls on the magician who has performed at every school where kidnappings have occurred, the police zero in on the venue of his last show. Arjan's team comes to the conclusion that the suspect targets volunteers at magic shows, most recently Aisha Khan. To prepare for a possible kidnapping, Arjan conducts a security drill at Aisha's school.

During a security exercise, Arjan mistakenly pursues Aisha's twin sister and not her. After regrouping with SHO Parmar, they continue to track Aisha's GPS signal. Meanwhile, the sorcerer kidnaps Aisha, but she manages to free herself using the escape techniques Arjan taught her. Pretending to need the toilet, she contacts Arjan and reveals her location.

Did Arjan save Aisha?

Arjan leads Aisha to escape, but she finds herself in a labyrinth of identical rooms. As Arjan navigates the wizard's house using her GPS signal, they find it difficult to navigate the confusing layout. Arjan finally saves Aisha, but despite his intervention, the magician manages to escape. Later, the murderer breaks into Divya's house.

The police discover two passports in the house that belong to Agnes Fernando and Christopher. Arjan remembers Agnes Fernando's previous conviction for murdering young girls, which leads him to suspect that she is the serial killer they are looking for. As the investigation continues, Arjan decides to visit Divya's house to ensure her safety. When he arrives, he hears Divya screaming.

When Arjan tries to arrest Agnes, she escapes using magic tricks, taking Divya's niece Iti with her. Although he sustains injuries while rescuing Iti, Arjan manages to confront Agnes. During the fight, Agnes' wig comes off, revealing the truth.

Cuttputlli ending: who was the serial killer?

Cuttputlli's true nature comes to light when Arjan realizes that he has been unknowingly manipulated by the serial killer. The murderer reveals himself as Christopher, Agnes' son, and tells his tragic backstory. Christopher suffered from a rare facial deformity and endured relentless bullying until a girl showed him kindness. However, when he confessed his feelings to her, she rejected him because of his looks.

Consumed by anger and rejection, Christopher's mother lured the girl to her home, where he killed her and pampered her face. His mother took the blame and went to prison for him. Twelve years later, his mother died in a tragic accident, prompting Christopher to assume her identity and embark on a spree of murders against young girls, mutilating their innocent faces out of twisted desire.

After telling his story, Christopher attempts to harm Iti, but Arjan manages to divert his attention and eventually confronts and defeats the murderer.
