Aalavandhan (2001)

Haunted by a tormented past and an unraveled mind, Abhay, brilliantly portrayed by Haasan, is a man caught in the labyrinth of his own illusions. His world is tainted by a childhood trauma that paints Tejasvini, his soon-to-be sister-in-law, in the menacing hues of his evil stepmother. As Tejasvini prepares to marry Abhay's brother, Major Vijay, a decorated army commando, also played by Haasan, Abhay sees an echo of his nightmarish past returning to shatter the present. In a desperate bid to protect Vijay, he escapes the confinements of his mental asylum, setting out on a mission that leads him down a chaotic path, riddled with action-packed confrontations with his twin brother, the misunderstood wife, and a host of other intriguing characters. Among them is the fun-loving and popular singer-actress Sharmilee, who becomes an unexpected participant in this turbulent saga. Abhay's intentions, though rooted in love for his brother, lead him to make grave mistakes, turning him into a perceived threat to society. With the odds stacked against him, including opposition from Vijay, he finds himself a righteous man trapped in the wrong circumstances. The narrative unfolds as Abhay, a psychopath driven by twisted perceptions and a fierce protective instinct, strives to rectify his errors. His subsequent actions, born of desperation and misunderstanding, paint a gripping tale of turmoil, redemption, and fraternal love. The movie's plot masterfully unravels the complexities of Abhay's mind and the repercussions his actions have on those entwined in his turbulent journey.
