Plot Overview:

The hero is a powerful, dominant and emotionally scarred country boy. In his life, love is considered a weakness, why does he hide his feelings behind intrusion and control. His obsession and possessiveness make him a sadist and sometimes a cruel one.

The heroine is an innocent but strong-willed lark who maintains her self-respect and emotional boundaries at all times. Despite the hero’s mistakes and suffering, she is gentle and patient in nature, but Andhi does not fall prey to love.

In the story, forced/organized circumstances bring the two closer together, where tension, conflict and misunderstandings arise before love. The hero’s obsession sometimes becomes more of a quibla than love, while the heroine endures the pain with her silence.

Over time, the hero realizes that Atishm is not a burning obsession, but a love that burns and becomes light. He realizes that his greed and control can cause him to lose the heroine.
