Aham

About This Movie

Aham (1992) unfolds in a somber, introspective atmosphere, exploring the complex interactions within a mental asylum's confines. The chemistry between Ramya and Sidharthan, portrayed by Mohanlal, brings a unique depth to the narrative. His spiritual demeanor juxtaposes with the harsh realities of the institution, creating an intriguing tension. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of reflection, and the film delves into themes of memory, loss, and identity. Urvasi’s presence as Sidharthan’s ex-wife adds layers to his character, enriching the emotional landscape. While the direction may feel somewhat obscure, the performances, especially Mohanlal’s, elevate the material, making it a distinct piece for those interested in deeper psychological dramas.
