This could have been from a proper B-grade flick:

An IG of police heading the state anti-piracy cell helps the daughter of an ex-supercop fighting video piracy to raid a big Kochi studio.

The studio’s owner, suspected to be pirating movie videos, is the wife of another IG of police, a famously well-connected senior officer who was himself with the same state anti-piracy cell some time ago, even playing the poster-boy in its ads.

As the raid party reaches the studio gates, things stir at the political heights. The DGP rings the anti-piracy IG asking him to keep off that studio, he doesn’t oblige. Within minutes, the DGP faxes the order to take him off the beat, while the studio men gang up and foil the raid. Next morning, the CM decides to assert, summons the DGP and asks him to give IG No 1 his job back. That done, he gets the policemen to go and raid the studio.

But there is more to the story.

The protagonists are Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan, IGs Rishiraj Singh and Tomin Thachankary, DGP Raman Srivastava, former supercop JF Ribeiro’s daughter Nina Engineer, who heads the anti-piracy efforts of Indian Music Industry (IMI), a national trade body of the music industry. Nina and her team had flown down from New Delhi after the Riyan Studio in Kochi, a large unit run by IG Tomin Thachankary’s wife, was named by those whom Singh, who heads the anti-piracy cell of state the police, had arrested in a raid in Thiruvananthapuram. They were arrested with fake VCDs that they said were sourced from Riyan Studio.
