Akam (2011)

One’s mind is that person’s biggest enemy. Our mind only understands what it wants to understand. It only sees what it wants to see.

This is what exactly happens with Sreenivas. A small insecurity developes into something big. Slowly, that insecurity of him started to control his actions. At first, whatever he does is just because of his doubts. But later on, whatever he does is to prove that his doubts are true. For him it wasn’t just a doubt anymore, it was a reality. And he has to prove it somehow.

For Sreeni, Ragini was a complex subject. No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t understand this woman. She was so much different from other women. At first this difference charmed Sreeni. But later on, the same difference made her difficult to understand for him. And this created a fear and insecurity in Sreeni.

The biggest fall down in Sreeni’s life was a car accident. It was that car accident which turned his life upside down. The accident caused him a half-burned face and a crippled leg. Everyone around him isolated him. His girlfriend and friends left him. All this isolation made him depressed. And he himself started to believe he is an outcast. And when you are adamant on believing something, no one can help it. And day by day you will find more reasons to justify your belief.
