Penguin movie ending explained
The plot of the film Penguin revolves around a mother who is trying hard to keep her family safe at all times. The story begins when the protagonist’s son is kidnapped by an unknown person whose intentions are uncertain. Rhythm’s (Keerthy Suresh) life falls apart when her son Ajay goes missing and her husband divorces her because he is of the belief that she was responsible for the loss of their child. She somehow manages to live with it while also meeting another man who respects her and keeps her happy.
Even though it has been eight years since her son, Ajay, went missing, Rhythm has been unable to move on from the loss. A pregnant Rhythm comes across a major clue indicating that her son could still be alive. As she sets out looking for him, a dramatic and unsettling sequence of events leads her to an alive Ajay who has been traumatized by everything that he has had to go through in the past eight years.
Towards the end of the film, Rhythm finds out that the kidnapper has been none other than her close friend Bhavana who had decided to take away the most precious thing from Rhythm’s life, just because she wanted to see her suffer. Her explanation for taking up these gruesome measures is that she never got the respect that she deserved because she was always compared with Rhythm. She just wanted to see her “friend” suffer for all the pain that she caused over the years. Even though Rhythm is given slow poison by Bhavana, she manages to save hers as well as her son’s life, who was also under the clutches of Bhavana. In the end sequence, Rhythm is shown teaching Ajay about Penguins who go to any extent to save their children. It indicated that Rhythm is the penguin in this case, hence explaining the title.
