Major Themes – Andhaghaaram (2020)

Explore the central themes of Andhaghaaram (2020), from psychological, social, and emotional dimensions to philosophical messages. Understand what the film is really saying beneath the surface.

💀 Revenge

Dr. Indran's fall from grace becomes a spectral crusade that reaches beyond death, driving a chain of harm across the lives of those connected to him. The film shows how revenge can corrupt medical authority and haunt both the living and the dead through manipulation and fear. Suicides among patients reveal the high price of moral decay and unchecked power, while Indran's spirit keeps guiding the harm.

👻 Haunting

Spirits move through the living via a haunted instrument—the telephone—bridging worlds and blurring lines between reality and the afterlife. Selvam's occult knowledge and the ritual use of the phone create a conduit for supernatural interference that pulls Vinod into a chilling conspiracy. The haunting is both personal and systemic, highlighting how trauma can persist across generations.

⏳ Time

The narrative unfolds across multiple points in time, showing three men's stories that are not concurrent but interconnected. Time jumps reveal how past actions shape present danger, and how Selvam, Pooja, and Vinod attempt to unravel a mystery that seems to transcend a single lifetime. The non-linear timeline emphasizes fate, guilt, and the inevitability of consequences.
