The bee in the original story about King Solomon was used as a metaphor for how seemingly insignificant creatures can come to be of help to an all-powerful ruler. In Solamante Theneechakal (Solomon's Honeybees), scriptwriter P. G. Prageesh approaches the story from a more literal sense, when referring to it at the fag end of a crime investigation as the investigator is about to point his finger at the actual suspect.
The investigation comes only much later in the film, which begins with the tale of friendship between two women – Suja (Darshana S. Nair), a traffic cop, and Glyna (Vincy Aloshious), a civil police officer. Suja, who is fed up with the traffic police duty and wishes to join her friend as a police officer, falls in love with Sarath (Shambhu), a driver for high-end rental cars. Things begin to fall apart for Suja and Glyna following a murder in which Sarath could be one of the suspects.
Perhaps, the only time director Lal Jose has tried anything close to a crime drama in his career, spanning 24 years and 27 films, was with Classmates, one of the biggest successes of his career. Over the past few years, he has not been in the best of forms, with a string of disappointing films. In Solamante Theneechakal, he returns to making a crime drama after a long time.
