Akela the Alone is a 2014 Indian psychological horror film that includes elements of crime and murder genres. In the film, Hyder, a loner whose parents died years ago, lives all alone doing petty jobs for survival. He meets Nadeem and Dawood and his whole life takes a turn towards insanity.
Plot[edit]
Hyder, a young man, is depressed after the death of his parents and works as an auto mechanic. Due to his weak financial condition, he had to borrow money from a person named Shamer, who is a drug addict. Now Shamer wants his money back and he sends some of his friends to beat-up Hyder to teach him a lesson. Shamer's friends rough him up badly. After this incident, Hyder meets Nadeem, who takes Hyder home and promises him that he will find a job to repay Shamer's debt. The same night someone knocks at Hyder's door while Hyder is very frustratedly thinking of a way to repay Shamer. Hyder opens the door and there is a person very nervously standing outside, claiming that the police are after him as he has committed a murder. The person at the door reveals his name to be Dawood and pleads Hyder to allow him to stay the night at his house. Hyder lets him inside and the next morning they wake up to find out that Shamer has sent his friends again for the money. Dawood gets involved in a fistfight with them and after Hyder tells him the whole story behind this episode, they both hatch a plan to rob Shamer and take all his money and return the same to clear the debt. Both of them go to Shamer's house to rob him but their plan goes haywire during the robbery when Dawood kills Shamer. While both Hyder and Dawood manage to escape after Shamer's untimely demise, the murder is witnessed by Nadeem. Nadeem confronts both Hyder and Dawood and tells them to surrender to the police but after being threatened by Dawood he joins them to get away from the police investigation. After finding another place to hide, Dawood kills the son of the house owner, which results in a fight between Dawood and Nadeem. Hyder's conscience is burdened by all these killings and sensing an opportunity during Dawood and Nadeem's fight, he escapes to the police station to explain the crimes committed by Dawood.
After reaching the police station, Hyder narrates all the crimes committed by Dawood that he has witnessed. After investigating Hyder's claims, the police inspector implicates Hyder in the murders because of the overwhelming evidence against him, such as finger prints found on the murder weapons and he also tells him that both Dawood and Nadeem are not local residents. He also informs him that the whole neighborhood claims that Hyder never talked to anyone besides talking to himself after his parents died. Hyder, after listening to the cop, comes to the conclusion that he is suffering from dissociative identity disorder and confesses to all the murders and also describes to the cop how he killed one of Shamer's friends using a ritualistic killing method. Hyder confesses to being a serial killer. After this confession, Hyder swiftly grabs the policeman's gun off the table and shoots him in the head.
