Indian Malayalam cinema has been credited for releasing high-quality projects. The industry has now made a name for itself globally and is lauded for presenting content that is gripping the masses, with no language barrier. ..
Mammootty has had an amazing five-decade-long run in the industry. Over the years, through his work, Mammootty is attempting to make bold choices when it comes to his choice of scripts and the 2022 hit release Rorschach.
The movie has been released in multiple countries across the globe. With a run-time of 150 minutes, the Neo-noir psychological thriller tells the story of Luke Antony, an NRI who has reported that his pregnant wife has gone missing. The movie ends on a confusing note and just like the projective psychological Rorschach test, the movie attacks the psyche of viewers and leads them to make their own assumptions about the story.
There are many possible explanations for the ending of Mammootty’s Rorschach, but one plausible theory is that the film is a commentary on the state of Kerala politics. Do let us know your thoughts in the comments! ..
The Rorschach Test is a psychological test that was first developed in the early 20th century. It is used to help psychologists and psychiatrists diagnose mental health issues. ..
The Rorschach test is a projective psychological test that was created by Hermann Rorschach in 1921. It is used to analyse the contrasting perceptions of subjects using a psychological evaluation. Psychologists use this test to examine a person’s personality, characteristics, and emotional functioning. ..
The Rorschach test is a psychological test that uses 10 official inkblot images and has the administrator present these images to their subject in multiple phases in order to deduce their cognitive and behavioural personality.
The goal of the 2022 movie Rorschach can be compared to that of the test where different individuals that watch the psychological thriller interpret it according to their own psyche.
The characters in this story are the protagonist, John, and his best friend, Harry.
Luke Antony, an NRI who has recently returned to Kerala from Dubai, tells us about his experiences in the state and what he found most interesting.
Sofia Antony is Luke’s pregnant wife who is allegedly missing. She has not been seen or heard from since she left for work on Monday morning. Her husband, Luke, has been reported to be frantic over her disappearance and is asking anyone who may have seen her to come forward.
Balan is a villager who helps Luke buy a house during his quest to find Sofia. He is a friendly and helpful person, always willing to lend a helping hand. Balan is an excellent resource for information about the area, and can provide valuable tips on where to find things or what to do.
Dileep, the son of Seetha Balan and her husband, Balan, was born in Mumbai on October 3, 1984. Dileep is a successful businessman and a well-known figure in the city. He is also the father of two children – Seetha Balan’s son Dileep Jr. and her daughter Aishwarya Rai.
Dileep Balan, the son of Balan, who died in an accident, used to work in Dubai.
Sujatha, the widow of actor Dileep, runs his cashew factory. The factory employs around 150 people and produces around 1,000 kg of cashews a day. ..
Dileep’s younger son Anil Balan is a passionate fan of the Indian cricket team and loves watching them play. He is also a talented musician and has won several awards for his music.
Shashankan is Balan’s son-in-law. ..
Ammu is a sex worker who has seen Luke in a positive light. She says that he is a kind and caring person who always puts others before himself. She credits him with helping her to find her place in the world.
Satheeshan is a friend of Ammu and Sujatha who is suspicious of Luke. ..
Luke – A cop who is investigating the death of his partner, Ashraf. ..
Luke’s wife, Sofia, went missing in India six months ago. Luke returned to India to find out what happened to her. ..
The movie begins with Luke Antony, an NRI from Dubai registering a police complaint at a station in Kerala. Luke tells the cops that his pregnant wife Sofia had gone missing after his car was met with an accident.
Since there were no physical remains of Sofia, the police conclude that Sofia was a victim of an animal attack. Luke however is adamant that Sofia is still alive and plans to stay back in the town to find her. Through the narrative of the movie, it is revealed that a pregnant Sofia and Luke’s house in Dubai was burgled by two thieves.
Luke manages to kill one of the thieves, but the other thief attacks Sofia before fleeing away. Once she is taken to the hospital, the doctors inform Luke that Sofia did not make it out alive.
In a recent interview, Luke Skywalker was revealed to have been subjected to white room torture, a type of psychological torture technique aimed at complete sensory deprivation and isolation. This is possible because Luke was getting out of control in his quest to find Sofia’s murderer.
After escaping from the torture room, Luke makes it his mission to find and kill the man who killed his wife. This brings him to Kerala, India, where he meets Balan, a homeless man who helps him find a place to live. ..
Is Dileep still alive? Is Luke seeing ghosts?
While the true motives of Balan are still unknown to the viewers, it is soon revealed that Balan was only willing to sell off his dead son, Dileep to Luke in order to flee away with the money. Dileep used to work in Dubai and he was able to make big money there.
Dileep returned to his village after a long absence and started rebuilding his home and legacy. Not only that, but he had also made a name for himself in the village, which is still thriving today. ..
After Dileep died in an accident, Balan claims that the semi-built house and property were haunted. Luke buys the house without any questions, and after receiving the money from Luke, Balan begins to flee from the village but is apprehended by his son Anil and son-in-law, Shashankan.
Anil kills Balan in an attempt to take the money away from him. Shashankan keeps the money safe by hiding it in a barn outside his house. However, after Luke’s visit to Shashankan’s house, the barn is set on fire. ..
Anil and Shashankan believe that the money from Luke is destroyed in the process too. Balan’s family is suspicious of Luke and vice versa. Luke starts living in the village and starts hallucinating, seeing his dead wife. ..
Luke invites the village sex worker, Ammu, to visit him. Ammu’s friend Satheeshan does not like her involvement with Luke. However, it becomes more evident that Luke is seeing the ghost of Dileep, who was the thief who murdered his wife in Dubai. ..
Luke and Sujatha marry for love, and Satheeshan is after Luke’s money. ..
In his hallucinations, Luke’s wife Sofia asks him to move on but Luke is further determined to “end” Dileep. In an attempt to call Dileep to confront him, Luke tries his best to instigate the dead man’s ghost.
He gives the money from Shashankan’s barn to Ammu and asks her to leave the village to go back to her family. Satheeshan is not happy about this and is now adamant about teaching Luke a lesson. He also notices how Luke has diverted his attention to Sujatha.
Since Sujatha is Dileep’s widow, Luke offers to marry her. Sujatha’s mother convinces her to give in with the promise that she will be able to run late Dileep’s factory. Luke wants to instigate Dileep’s ghost and makes a show of himself sleeping with Sujatha. ..
He has had run-ins with Dileep’s ghost, who beats him up for manipulating Sujatha. Seetha (Dileep’s mother) is furious with Sujatha because she has now remarried which is further tarnishing Dileep’s legacy.
Why did Seetha kill Ashraf? What does Luke do with Sujatha?
As it turns out, Luke had a motive to tarnish the image of Dileep and end him by ruining his legacy. His mother, Seetha, is extremely proud of the fact that her son still is well respected in the entire village.
When the police officer Ashraf finds evidence about Dileep’s wrongdoings in Dubai, he confronts Seetha. Afraid that her late son’s legacy will now be tarnished, Seetha poisons Ashraf’s drink. Shashankan and Anil help bury the police officer in their backyard. Sujatha is now starting to grow frustrated with Luke and leaves him to go back to her house. ..
Luke’s goal is also to damage Dileep’s image in the heart of Sujatha. Satheeshan finds evidence about Dileep’s wrongdoings collected by Ashraf and shows it to Sujatha. Now, as she no longer has any affection for Dileep, Luke has no business with her. Sujatha and Satheeshan burn down Luke’s factory. ..
Seetha is infuriated by Luke’s actions and sends goons to kill him. He still overpowers them and lets them know that Dileep’s legacy has now been successfully tarnished. He promises that there was nothing holding him back on earth. ..
Is Luke alive? The questions that have been asked since the events of Episode VIII left many people wondering if he is still alive. Some believe that he may have been killed in the battle against the First Order, while others believe that he may have been taken captive and held prisoner by the Resistance. We don’t know for sure, but one thing is for sure- there are many questions that need to be answered about Luke’s whereabouts.
Anil tries to tackle Luke but as the latter overpowers the former, Seetha flees from Luke’s house. Luke has a deja-vu moment as he notices Seetha running away in the same way Dileep did after he killed Sofia.
Shashankan rats out his mother-in-law, informing the cops about Ashraf’s murder. The cops arrest Seetha and it all evidence about Dileep is revealed to the village. Dileep’s reputation is ruined instantly, meaning that his legacy has come to an end after all. ..
The village has condemned Dileep for his actions, and Seetha is imprisoned. Luke’s mission is now complete as the village is now condemning him by shaming his family and his legacy.
Luke surrenders because he’s afraid of the ghost of his father. He sees his father’s ghost in the jail cell, and he doesn’t want to be associated with him anymore.
Luke eventually drives to the police station and surrenders for “ending him”. He alleges that he killed Anil but it is assumed that he is talking about putting an end to Dileep. At the same time, one of the female cops announces that Seetha had died by suicide in her solitary confinement.
In the movie, Luke is confined in his jail cell while the ghost of a still-pregnant Sofia sits beside him. The movie ends with Luke saying “Welcome Back” to a ghost and it is likely that it is Dileep who Luke is seeing since he has had run-ins with him in the past.
The ending of Rorschach is a mystery. ..
The ending of the first movie left open the possibility that there may be more left in Luke’s story. It seems completely implausible that Luke managed to escape solitary confinement.
The possible outcomes of this story are that Luke was actually tortured in a Dubai white room and that he is still in there. It is also possible that the white room torture actually happens after he has surrendered.
Another theory suggests that Luke is finally able to bring Dileep’s ghost down on his knees now after Seetha’s death and Sujatha’s lack of love for him. Helpless that he has no one to latch on to, Dileep’s ghost actually wants to be set free.
It is likely that if there will be a Part 2, it will most likely revolve around Luke finally avenging his wife’s death by punishing Dileep while setting Sophia free as well.
