Maargan

Maargan ends with the relentless hunt finally catching its prey. After losing his daughter Priya to the same mysterious drug that turned her body black, ADGP Dhruv Guvarak refuses to be sidelined and drags himself into the murder case, using contacts and his own desperation to stay on the team. His breakthrough comes from the unusual swimmer Arivu, whose uncanny memory and ability to project his consciousness while holding his breath let the police glimpse the killer’s hidden lair. Inside the black‑painted apartment Arivu sees a notebook of victims and a Time‑magazine cover that points to a young actress named Vennila.

When Dhruv follows the trail, he discovers that Vennila is not a random target but the perpetrator herself. The film reveals her motive: a deep‑seated fury over constant racial humiliation—first when Sadiq, the college bully, mocked Dhruv’s dark‑skinned daughter, then when photographers and a doctor treated her as an object and used her image without consent. Each slight drives her to exact revenge on those she blames for the prejudice, from college student Ramya to cosmologist Dr. Shalini, and she is poised to kill a producer’s daughter next.

In the climactic moment, Vennila prepares to inject the next victim with the lethal cocaine‑melatonin concoction, but Dhruv intervenes, firing a shot that mortally wounds her. As she falls, the cycle of killings ends, giving Dhruv a grim form of closure for Priya’s death. The final scenes leave the audience with the uneasy truth that while the murderer is dead, the societal biases that fueled her rage remain‑—a sobering reminder that justice alone cannot erase the deeper wounds of discrimination.
