Aame is a 2019 thriller film directed by Rathna Kumar. It is the Telugu dubbed version of the Tamil film Aadai. It is a female-centric film starring Amala Paul in the lead role as Kamini. It is the story of Kamini, a bold and free-spirited woman with a strong feminist perspective. Kamini, who her single mother has raised, often has a difference of opinion, due to the latter's conservative mindset. Kamini works for a TV channel and is known for making pranks during serious situations. However, her life takes an unexpected turn following a wild birthday party with her colleagues. At the party, her friend Jennifer dares her to read news naked. Kamini, who is already high, accepts and starts stripping. However, she finds herself in a unique situation when she wakes up the next morning. She is naked and alone, trapped in the deserted building with limited resources to contact anyone. Kamini faces a terrifying ordeal, struggling to maintain her composure and dignity in this vulnerable situation. On the other hand, Kamini's mother gets worried about her not coming home and files a missing person's report. The film explores Kamini's struggles as she tries to escape. It goes deeper as she gets to understand the real reason that led to her situation. It explores important themes of safety, public perception, and the misuse of social media. Aame is a very engaging and nail-biting take on a sensitive topic of safety, putting the audience on the edge.
The film is strictly female‑led—there is no central male lead supporting Amala Paul’s character.
