ASEQ Movie Plot

Ronnie has just broken up with his girlfriend Priyanka. His friends Sarim and Adi bring him to a bar to cheer him up and urge him to move on. Ronnie immediately sets his sights on a woman sitting at the bar. The next instant, she is gone.

Later, Ronnie sees the same woman in the parking lot and pretty much forces his aid on her. She introduces herself as Lail and explains she is waiting for her friend but Ronnie tells her that it isn't safe outside for a young woman like her and points towards a couple of guys barely looking her way.

It doesnt occur to Lail that Ronnie might be dangerous too and immediately, accepts his invitation. 

They go to Ronnie's house where she spends some time getting to know him.

Things start to get bizarre for Ronnie as he begins experiencing strange events wherein he loses his sense of time. He forgets to speak to his friend Sarim before he goes to the airport.

Eventually, Ronnie begins to believe that Priyanka has performed black magic on him as an act of revenge for their breakup. When Sarim returns, he and Adi discuss the Aseq Jinn and state that perhaps Priyanka has sent a jinn behind Ronnie.

The two friends decide to talk to Ronnie but the jinn doesn’t allow Ronnie to get close to his friends. Sarim and Adi decide to become brave and break into Priyanka's house. They find books on black magic but are then caught by the homeowner herself.

Priyanka gets the two to confess that they were trespassing her home. Sarim and Adi accuse her of being jealous of Ronnie and Lail's relationship.

Priyanka shows remorse at the breakup but assures them that she has books on a variety of subjects and that doesn't mean she indulges in all those things.

Sarim and Adi are now in a state of utter confusion. They are certain there is an Aseq but wonder who it could be.

Coming as no surprise, it is obviously Lail. But Ronnie does nit believe his friends at all. They tell him to test her and give him symbols of different religions for Lail to touch. If she is a jinn and has latched herself on Ronnie then she would not be able to touch the symbols.

Ronnie gives in and tests Lail but none of the religious items have any impact on her. But the seeds of doubt have been planted. Ronnie decides to check the security footage of the night he met Lail and is shocked.

ASEQ Ending Explained

The security guards are more than happy to help Ronnie with his request and show him the parking lot video. He is shocked to discover that Lail was nowhere in sight and he appears to be talking to himself.

He calls his friends who are already in touch with an expert on Jinns who has not gotten back to them on how to put a jinn to rest.

The friends lay a trap for Lail and tie her to a bed. She curses them and eventually speaks in her real voice, telling them she is too powerful and that even the religious symbols have no effect on her. She mocks them and eventually the friends decide to drown her in a bathtub of ice and water. Supposedly, Jinns are made of fire and that is one way to defeat them.

They drown her and Lail goes still. The professor finally contacts them via a video call and informs them that drowning a jinn only pushes it out of the human they are possessing.

Terrified, the friends find themselves gripped in the jinn's world.

Ronnie comes up with the most obvious plan to save his friends. This movie is about the three friends after all.

Ronnie muses that since a jinn jas fallen for him and latched to him, that he has only way out: to kill himself.

He stabs himself and the jinn, eho has appeared in its true form, vanishes.

The three friends are saved although Ronnie's memory is slightly affected.

Lail is still roaming about, looking for the love of her life somewhere else.

So...the jinn's love is that fickle?

The movie ends.

ASEQ spends a lot of time establishing the unbreakable bond of friendship between Ronnie, Sarim, Adi. This plot which was supposed to be a subplot in the narrative, pushes the actual jinn into the background.

However, Aseq is an interesting movie and it will pull your interest even though you will noticed the hiccups in the script during the climax.
