Or, that Veer’s illness of dissociative identity disorder is real and this was a third personality cropping up.
However, it could also mean that Charu just picked the paperweight out of curiosity and the identity was not a lie. If he did really kill, torture, and abuse the children, he was a psychopath who could even live through his own pain, just to stay alive and out of prison. How he went through all the traumas in prison as Charu, and yet did not snap back, can be explained by how big of a psychopath he was. This last look and the paperweight does tell us that Charu, the timid personality was all Veer’s play, so he could get saved from the life sentence for his crimes. Where did that comfort come from for her? And of course, the final look that Veer/Charu gives to the camera holding the paperweight sends us all in a frenzy. As soon as the final judgment is announced, we see Charu picking up the paperweight again. And, when he becomes Charu, he is always scared and sits timidly. However, if you closely watch Manav Kaul in the film, while sitting in the court for his hearing, he has a habit of fidgeting with a paperweight.
Although, the judge also announces that Veer Singh will forever remain in the government’s psychiatric ward and if he snaps back to his true identity even for a second, the case will then resume from the same point. The parents of the dead kids do not get their justice. The judge, however, rules it in favour of Jaisingh, bringing the case to a comatose stage. Prosecutor Amit Kumar tries to convince the court for one last time that this is all an act.
After this revelation, Jaisingh demands a mistrial, meaning the case will be deemed invalid because his client Veer Singh no longer exists. When he is hypnotized in his Charu-identity, we find out about his past and how his mind got hold of this identity, that was the 32 years old woman from Kashmir. This trauma, for Veer, was the (false?) accusation and the jail beating. The psychiatrist in the film (Shivkumar Subramaniam) tells the judge and the lawyers that identity disorder can happen due to trauma. At this point, and also at the point where the inmates sexually abuse Charu (or Veer?), the audience is convinced that the identity splitting is definitely not an act. Jaisingh also tries to convince Veer that this won’t help the case and he should drop the act but Veer (or now, Charu) doesn’t understand what he’s saying. While previously everyone thinks that Veer is only doing drama, trying to show everyone that he is mentally unstable, the revelation comes when he doesn’t stop the act even in front of Jaisingh. Or at least, that is what Veer wants everyone, including the audience, to believe.Īlso read: Nail Polish Review: This Arjun Rampal Starrer Is A Jaw-Dropping Thriller And A Brilliant Start To The New Year Due to this, his mind snaps and takes up a completely different identity of a woman, called Charu Raina.
