Sookshmadarshini

Priya’s relentless curiosity finally shatters the façade the new neighbours have built around themselves. After days of piecing together tiny clues—strange curtains, heavy gunny sacks, a mysterious mango‑juice that smells of sedatives—she learns that Manuel, his father Roy and the family doctor John have been using the claim of Ammachi’s Alzheimer’s as a cover for a far darker plot. The real victim is not the frail old woman but Manuel’s sister Diana, who had flown back from New Zealand to confront the family about her love for Aditi. Under the pretense of caring for their ailing mother, the trio lures Diana to the bungalow, murders her, and then tries to stage her disappearance as another episode of the mother’s “wandering.” Aditi, who arrives later to meet Diana, is taken hostage and held at the construction site of the new Grace Bakers branch.

Armed with the bone fragments and blood she rescued from the walls of Manuel’s house, Pri ​ya rushes to the site, crashes her car into the unfinished structure and, in a frantic scramble, rescues a severely injured Aditi. The chaos forces the conspirators to reveal themselves; the police, now equipped with the forensic evidence Pri ​ya had gathered, move in and arrest Manuel, Roy, John and even the complicit mother — Ammachi, who had sanctioned the honour killing of her own daughter.

The film closes on the same stretch of road that opened the story: Dr. John’s car backs into Pri ​ya’s wrecked vehicle, tying the violent beginning to the violent end. Pri ​ya’s microscopic attention to detail, the very meaning of Sookshmadarshini, finally brings the hidden crimes to light and delivers justice for the victims.
