Main Aur Charles
Main aur Charles is a 2015 bollywood drama, written and
directed by Prawaal Raman and produced by Cynozure Networkz. This film is a
fictitious thriller, inspired by true events and told from the perspective of
respected Indian cop, Amod Kanth who handled the notorious case of serial
killer, Charles Sobhraj.
The film stars Randeep Hooda, Richa Chadda and Adil
Hussain, Tisca Chopra, and Alexx O'Nell in lead roles. Through the narrative,
we see a series of crimes committed by Charles and the story of each of his
victims, who fell for his charisma but were betrayed by his serpentine like
nature. The man not just escaped several high security jails but even
manipulated the legal system. In the title, Main aur Charles, the word 'Main'
stands for the character of Amod Kanth.
The movie revolves around Charles, an enigmatic con man
and a vicious killer, and the lives he touched with his inescapable charm and
mysterious personality. We follow Charles, who is literally evil personified,
as he manipulates innumerable people to facilitate his jail break. The thin
line between his victims and accomplices include a copywriter of an international
ad agency clinging on to Charles for hope, a royal princess seeking adventure
in an otherwise bland life, a young hippie girl hopelessly drawn towards him,
and an innocent law student Mira madly in love with the dreams sold by Charles
amongst various others - from a financial wizard, an extortionist from Haryana
to a helpless prison supervisor. Bit by bit, the character of Charles is
revealed through all those who encountered him. Probably the only person who
interacted with Charles the least, Commissioner Amod Kanth, was affected by him
the most. We see the impact of Charles on all through the eyes of Amod Kanth -
and their ever raging battle of good and evil, where good eventually wins but
evil always resurfaces. This story, set in the 1980s, shows how Charles escapes
from India’s most securely guarded prison and is then subsequently arrested
once again in Goa. It reveals the story behind the seemingly simple cat and
mouse game between Amod Kanth and Charles. But more importantly, the movie
gives the world a peek into the dangerous mind of Charles, how he led different
people to perceive him differently, how he filled the vacuum in their lives and
ultimately, his dark world where right and wrong blend into a charming and
mystique grey existence.
