Le prix de la liberté
Aleena is a young woman who studied for a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) last semester in Bangalore. She is the only daughter of Baby and Daisy, who lived in Kuwait for twenty years but have now permanently settled in their home country. As their only child, Aleena was raised with great care and attention, instilling a sense of boldness in her. Her parents taught her how to swim and encouraged her to participate in various sports, ensuring she received training in essential athletic exercises. Her father believed these activities would help prepare her to face life's challenges bravely. However, he insisted on one important principle: while she could enjoy all the freedom she wanted, she must never let their family lose dignity in front of others because of her actions. If that happens, she would lose her father and mother to a cubit of rope. Her father didn't want her to feel responsible for ending their lives. She hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek. "That will never happen," she reassured him. Months went by, and she grew close to a young man named Dileep, one of her many friends on Instagram. His playful calls of "chakkare" and teasing conversations warmed her heart. He eagerly fed her from his plate at the restaurant, showing his tender care and affection. As time passed, their bond deepened, and they became even closer. Aleena returned by train from her usual vacation. This time, Dileep suggested that they travel to Bangalore by bike instead. She agreed as she enjoys bike riding. They set off for Bangalore on his motorcycle. When Dileep mentioned that they would pass by his house and that she could stop in to see her mother, she gladly accepted the invitation. She arrived at Dileep's house, which was a very desolate place. Although it belonged to Dileep's friend, it was rented out as a resort. Dileep could stay there for as long as he wanted. He expressed that living together without marriage was not right and placed a garland around her neck. She reciprocated by putting a garland on him as well. "Our marriage is over," he said. He believed that there was no point in any of these rituals; they had made their decision, and they would follow through with it. She did not object. That night marked the end of her first evening there. She was preparing to leave for Bangalore the next day. It was her last semester, and she couldn't afford to miss any classes. She was worried that her father might come to Bangalore in search of her if he didn't hear from her soon. However, Dileep was not ready to support her decision. He was dismissive of everything she said and instead declared, "Our marriage is over. The first night is also behind us. As my wife, you must obey what I say as your husband. After marriage, your father and mother have no role in your life. That's how it is according to our customs, or so the law dictates here. You are not going to Bangalore anymore. No further studies. You won't see your father and mother. You must live according to my demands." She looked at him in shock. None of his conditions were acceptable to her. After marriage, wives do not become slaves. She said, "Are you trying to scare me by saying that the first night is over after the wedding? Those who fall into mud puddles are washed with scented antiseptic soap. Problem solved. I will buy some and take a bath. My problem will be solved." He laughed and then took out his mobile phone. He played a video and handed it to her. He said, "These are visuals from our first night, shot from two angles." She was shocked when she watched the video. It felt like a bolt of lightning struck her. He added, "I can send this video to your parents. I could also post it on Facebook and Instagram. Don't let it go viral." She stayed silent, her mind racing with different thoughts. She was sure that her parents, Mommy and Daddy, would commit suicide if they saw these visuals. She had no other choice but to obey him. That evening, Dileep's three friends, Anoop, Renjith and Savi, came there. Dileep asked Aleena to consider his friends as her husbands and make them happy by behaving well, as all of them were his best buddies. He even forced her to sleep with his friends as he had a habit of sharing his favourite things with them. Aleena was helpless, and to prevent her parents from committing suicide, she decided to obey Dileep. Meanwhile, Baby sought the help of the police to locate her daughter. However, when faced with her dear dad and mom, she denied them. She firmly stated, "I will live with my husband. I don't want to see you again." As they left, she watched blankly as her parents turned away with tear-filled eyes. They left, convinced that their daughter had fallen into a trap. Baby urgently wanted to learn about his daughter's current condition. He entrusted this task to his trusted traditional healer, Pappan. Pappan inquired into the situation and discovered that Dileep and his friends Renjith, Anoop, and Savi were also drug addicts. He realized that the marriage was a fraud and that such incidents were not uncommon. Understanding Aleena's situation, Pappan contacted her secretly. He conveyed his findings, and Aleena's father understood the gravity of the situation. "It's not the victims who should perish; it's the hunters who shall die". He remarked. Baby believed the hunters needed to be dealt with so that her daughter could live with dignity. The saying goes, "The wages of sin is death." Pappan and Aleena's father attempted to free her, recognizing that those who live by corrupting themselves and others with drugs ultimately face the consequences of their actions. Aleena killed Savi first, followed by Anoop, Dileep, and Ranjith, with the help of Pappan. The Superintendent of Police (SP) and the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DYSP), who investigated the case, discover the truth but choose to turn a blind eye when they realize that justice is on Aleena's side. The film tells the story of a young woman's struggle for survival.
