The double helix (situation) is a cliche the world a literature and
entertainment never seem to tire off. Yes, Abhay is yet another dual role played
by Kamal Hassan, with an astounding record of having made success of all the
dual role films he played in. Abhay is a novel written by Kamal Hassan many
years ago is a precursor of Thomas Haris "Silence of the Lambs". Thank goodness
or else our well informed scribed would have screamed plagiarism. A thriller set
in Delhi. The season is winter.
Major Vijay Kumar of N.S.G. is all set to marry his news caster girldfriend
Tejaswani. Vijay has a demented brother Abhay, who had been an inmate of a few
mental asylums, for the past 22 years. Abhay went in for matricide when he was
12. Many attempts made by the family, requesting the release of the patients
were truned down by the Asylum authorities since they thought that Abhay was
unfit for the social circus and probably dangerous. then Vijay and Tejaswani
make the grave mistake of going to the asylum to meet his twin brother to say
sorry for not being able to get him out. Vijay and Tejaswani do not know that
they are responsible for unleashing hell in Delhi and in their own lives. Abhay,
like his name, his fearless. A mind with no draping of etiquette or civic
behaviour. The human mind at its mot naked form.
