PABLO

About

Pablo, a young 7-year-old boy starts behaving abnormally all of a sudden as he is raised in a strict Brahmin family. His childlike games graduate from killing the fishes in the aquarium to decapitating his elder 8-year-old sister Kia’s pet bird. Worried and anxious, the family decides to take him to an ashram with a hope that spirituality will cure the boy. After a few weeks in the ashram, as assured, the Guru Amma declares that the boy is cured and can be sent back home for a few days to spend time with his family. Next day, when the father is taking Pablo back to the ashram, he commits a final murder attempt on his father only to reveal in the end that he was guided throughout by his elder sister Kia who is suffering from a severe mental disorder.
