The ending explained
Much of the recent discussion focuses on how the film portrays Azhagar, the supposed killer. A key point generating conversation is how Azhagar appears to continue committing murders even after death. According to published explanations, the film resolves this by pointing toward a psychological interpretation: the acts attributed to Azhagar reflect an internalized persona rather than a living antagonist.
This interpretation positions the story within psychological thriller territory, suggesting that the protagonist’s fractured mental state projects Azhagar as an external figure. The question is not whether Azhagar is alive, but how the protagonist processes guilt, trauma, and suppressed impulses. The film concludes by tying these threads together, leaving viewers with a perspective that emphasizes internal struggle rather than supernatural intervention.
For audiences watching on Netflix, the ending invites rewatches to trace how early visual cues and dialogue hint at the underlying explanation. While the film avoids spelling out every detail, its structure supports the idea that Azhagar functions symbolically, pushing the protagonist toward confrontation with buried aspects of himself.
The OTT release has revived interest in these interpretations, inspiring many to revisit discussions about how psychological thrillers can use crime narratives to explore the complexities of the human mind.
