In Gautham Menon’s dark film about a serial killer the villain is afflicted with schizophrenia due to the unspeakable abuse and trauma he suffered as a child. Gautham Menon’s unflinching portrayal was based on a real-life case study if the buzz is to be believed. He may be guilty of portraying those afflicted with this condition in an unflattering light but the fact remains that he also forced his audience to acknowledge that if society chooses to ignore its mentally ill instead of making sure they get help, the consequences will be dire for all concerned.
