Why does he target only twins? Aravindan carries out a meticulous operation to catch this highly clever criminal. In the end, the turning point of this story changes in a way you wouldn't even think of, after the killer's identity is shown.

​The investigation reveals that the killer is a highly intelligent person with a high IQ level named Benjamin. The reason for him to commit murders like this is due to the events that happened in his past and a strong need for revenge. Benjamin had a twin brother. These two were orphan children. Although Benjamin was very smart, his brother was someone with a mental disability who was afraid of the dark. These two were in the same school. There were 11 pairs of twins in this class. The smartest kid in this class was Benjamin. All the other kids in the class were jealous of this. Because of this jealousy, what the other kids did was trouble his disabled brother because they wanted to hurt Benjamin. Benjamin, who had no one else in the family, loved his brother a lot. When they troubled him, Benjamin always saved his brother. These two were always together. But one day, a very bad thing happens. For a science experiment, this group is divided into two teams and asked to go to two labs to do those experiments. Benjamin and his brother fall into two different teams. Taking advantage of this, the kids, knowing that Benjamin's brother is afraid of the dark, do a very cruel thing. They lock the doors and windows of the lab and turn off all the lights. Benjamin's brother, who is afraid of the dark, dies right there due to shock. Because of this incident, Benjamin, who decides to take revenge for it, makes the remaining twins kill their own twin brothers or sisters one by one, so that others can feel the pain of losing a sibling. If you want to know exactly who this serial killer named Benjamin is, you absolutely have to watch this film. For me, I couldn't find out who Benjamin was until the very last part of the film. It is correct to say that Eleven is a film with maximum suspense.
