What happens when you force an innocent person into hopeless submission? What lengths can a human being go to when he or she makes up their mind to take revenge from their perpetrators? When you break a person to such an extent that they are forced to become corrupt, are they actually the culprit? Or are you?
Find out the answers to these controversial questions and many more in Rahul Nath's movie, Khazana, which is a dark film that makes you realize that your actions can resonate and come back to you in the worst of forms. Rahul Nath does a good job at portraying the dark part of the society in this feature film. You know that feeling when you are watching a scene in a movie and it becomes so shocking that you find it horrifying to even breathe? That's how the last 30 minutes make you feel.
The movie does not have a huge cast and the best cinematography. But it sure does have a huge impact on how you view society. Every character is realistic and you realize that these people exist all around you. The cast did an amazing job portraying their characters especially Vaidehi (Ulka Simone Mohanty) whose character development from victim to culprit is smooth and convincing. She played the multilayered character of the newly-wed bride, who is a victim of every kind of abuse by the hands of her husband, Amar (Ahmed Lucan) and his mother (Shruti Tewari) and sister (Sasha Timo). They merge into their characters so beautifully that it becomes hard not to hate them. Her doctor (played by Rahul Nath himself) and psychiatrist (Bahram Khosraviani) try to help her but gloomy circumstances and human desires come in the way. The movie does not seem to show any unnecessary details or scenes that seem useless. Every scene of each character perfectly represents their inner thoughts and the sound effects balance each scene.
This thriller may seem like any other South Asian drama out there but the end will leave you in shock. It's horrifying because it happens in real life.
