OCD (film)

OCD is a 2026 Indian Bengali language psychological thriller film written and directed by Soukarya Ghosal. The film stars Jaya Ahsan in the lead role as a medical professional grappling with childhood trauma, supported by Kaushik Sen, Arshiya Mukherjee, Anasuya Mazumdar, Koneenica Banerjee, and Fazlur Rahman Babu.

Plot
Shweta (Jaya Ahsan) is a successful doctor who suffers from a pathological obsession with cleanliness, rooted in the belief that "Cleanliness is Godliness." This obsession was fostered by her grandmother as a psychological shield against "obscene" people. Decades later, Shweta's convictions are challenged when she discovers that a pedophile neighbor continues to live a normal, respected life despite his past. This revelation triggers repressed memories of Shweta being molested by the same man as a child. To reconcile her internal belief system, she plots what she considers an "unmuddled" or "perfect" murder a crime free of any physical or moral blemish. The narrative follows her psychological descent as she attempts to "purify" her past through lethal means. While the film depicts the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), its narrative primarily examines the consequences of victims' silence, resulting from either a lack of comprehension or the suppression of allegations due to social stigma. == Cast ==

Theme and production
Director Soukarya Ghosal stated that the film is a critique of the "social silence" surrounding child sexual abuse and the hypocrisy of moral standards in South Asian society. The film marks the debut of child actor Arshiya Mukherjee in a feature film. The film shines a rare light on the complexities of psychological trauma, exploring the long-term impact of childhood abuse—a thematic territory seldom navigated by Bengali filmmakers. Ghosal utilized Obsessive–compulsive disorder as a central metaphor for the survivor's attempt to "wash away" the stains of trauma. This is the second collaboration between Soukarya Ghosal and Jaya Ahsan following Bhootpori. A major portion of the film was filmed in Jharkhand. == Release ==
