Aabhaasam (2018)

Embarking on a profound journey into the labyrinth of suppressed love and the monstrous deeds it spawns, 'Aabhaasam' presents a voyage with Gandhi Travels, a bus service operated by Democracy Travel Agency. Departing from Bangalore and bound for Kerala, the bus and its passengers symbolize a microcosm of our society, offering a mirror to the audience it seeks to engage. Unfolding over a single night, the journey delves into a partial examination of a society plagued by schizophrenia, a society that has journeyed through various epochs, only to find its vision narrowed to binary perspectives under the crushing weight of systemic patriarchy. Here, the bus morphs into a metaphor for a societal framework, with its perpetrators and victims embodied in the travelers. 'Aabhaasam' embraces a dual ambition - to be both the subject and a critique of its own narrative. Within the confined space of the bus, it welcomes and simultaneously critiques the mainstream audience, who observe and revel in the unfolding events. This film is an audacious exploration of societal norms, inviting viewers to step aboard for a night of introspection and revelation.

Aabhaasam is a drama movie featuring Rima Kallingal and directed by Jubith Namradath.
