The trailer of OCD is out
The official trailer of OCD, the upcoming film directed by Soukarya Ghosal and starring Jaya Ahsan, was officially released and certainly is drawing attention to the film’s powerful and unsettling theme. OCD addresses the deeply sensitive and often silenced issue of child molestation.
Speaking about the film, Soukarya described OCD as a deeply personal protest. He said that he has witnessed numerous cases where child molesters remain unidentified and unpunished because the victims lack the courage to speak out, fearing disbelief and loss of credibility. He reflected on growing up in a society that presents itself as modern yet remains deeply hypocritical—where even when a child speaks up, families often suppress the truth to avoid societal scrutiny, sexual stigma, and uncomfortable questions.
Ghosal further pointed out that even today, society tends to stigmatize the victim rather than hold the perpetrator accountable, falsely associating the child’s trauma with a loss of “purity.” While there has been noticeable progress in discussions around gender equality, he emphasized that similar progress has not been made when it comes to child rights, particularly in cases of sexual abuse.
Highlighting the long-term psychological impact of such trauma, the director noted that the mental violence endured by a child often persists throughout their lifetime, leading to severe and sometimes self-destructive consequences. In certain cases, when suppressed trauma turns into a desire for revenge, the outcome can become dangerously unpredictable and even lethal.
Through OCD, Soukarya Ghosal attempts to narrate the story from the perspective of a molested child—one who is fearless, unburdened by societal judgment, and unconcerned with questions of plausibility—placing the child’s truth at the very center of the narrative.
