What happens

Amanush (transl. The Inhuman) is a 2010 Indian Bengali-language thriller film written and directed by Rajib Biswas, starring Soham Chakraborty and Srabanti Chatterjee in lead roles, whilst newcomer Rehaan Roy, Saswata Chatterjee play supporting roles. The film, which has music scored by noted musician Jeet Ganguly and cinematography handled by Kumud Verma, was released in April 2010. The film is officially a remake of the 2003 film Kaadhal Kondein starring Dhanush and Sonia Agarwal, which was already remade in Bangladesh as Onno Manush in 2004. The story explores the mind of a youth who is mentally and physically abused in his childhood. The lack of a mother's love haunts the protagonist throughout the film as the girl of his infatuation parts with him in her death. Turning into a psychopath, he desperately tries to woo his newly found lady love. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
