The Relapse Film is a suspense, psychological thriller, based on the psychology of addiction.

The Relapse is a dark psychological thriller that delves deep into the human mind’s most fractured corners — where love, addiction, guilt, and violence collide.

At its core, The Relapse tells the story of Kira, a man haunted by a brutal secret: he can only experience intimacy through violence. As he falls in love for the first time in his life, his internal battle escalates — between the yearning for normalcy and the monstrous compulsions he desperately wants to leave behind. His confessions to his psychiatrist set off a chilling chain of events that tests the limits of his will and the meaning of redemption.

Intertwined with Kira’s journey is Myra, a seemingly unrelated college girl fighting her own quiet battle for independence. When their paths cross in a harrowing confrontation, the film explodes into a brutal and heart-wrenching climax about choice, betrayal, and survival.

Directed and written by Naren Singh Nayak, The Relapse explores the tragic weight of trauma and the vicious cycles of addiction, set against the eerie backdrop of everyday life. The film holds nothing back — it forces the audience to confront uncomfortable truths about desire, violence, and the fragile possibility of change.

The Relapse is not just a thriller — it’s a raw, unflinching descent into the spaces we fear most: those within ourselves.

Our films — from the twisted psychological depths of The Relapse to the harsh social realities explored in The Girl Who Ran Away — confront what society often hides. We dive into uncomfortable truths: the guilt no one talks about, the violence brushed under the carpet, the systemic injustices endured in silence. Our storytelling is fearless, unflinching, and unapologetically real.
