Storyline
A police officer arrives at a murder scene and begins his questioning with an odd first question: "What is your national bird?" Meanwhile, another officer asks the victim's children what their father was doing before he died. They simply answer, "He was living."
“A murder case where the questions are stranger than the crime.”

→Trivia
- The film's title 'Sutta Kadhai' translates to 'Smoking Story', referencing the director's habit of brainstorming while smoking.
- Director Subu previously worked as an assistant to director Mysskin, known for darker films, making this comedy a genre shift.
- The film was shot in just 18 days on a very low budget, primarily in a single apartment building location.
- Actor RJ Balaji, known as a radio jockey, made his acting debut in Tamil cinema with a cameo in this film.
- The plot's absurd interrogation style was inspired by real bureaucratic inefficiencies and circular logic in official systems.
- Despite its critical acclaim for unique humor, the film had a very limited theatrical release and found a wider audience later.
- The soundtrack was composed by Justin Prabhakaran, which was one of his earliest projects in Tamil cinema.
