Hello everyone! We all know that the movie Eko was released last year in 2025 and received a fantastic response from the audience. Recently, it finally hit streaming platforms, and the great news is that it is available with Telugu dubbing as well. However, after watching the movie, I noticed that many people were left scratching their heads regarding the ending.
The filmmakers left it quite open-ended, which naturally leads to a lot of confusion. So, in this post, I am going to break down that ending and explain exactly what happened. Just a quick heads-up before we dive in: this discussion contains major spoilers. If you haven't seen the film yet, please go watch it first!
The Significance of the Final Scene
Let's look closely at the very last sequence. We see Kuriyachan's wife, Milathi, holding a pair of binoculars and staring intently toward a hill. Standing right beside her is Piyush, who we know is Kuriyachan's most trusted worker. But the detail that really matters is in the background: the dogs are looking at Piyush with pure aggression.
This visual is the key to unlocking the twist. To understand this, we have to recall how Kuriyachan originally trapped Milathi's first husband. He got him arrested by the police, deceived Milathi, and essentially kidnapped her to live with him. The climax reveals that Milathi eventually learned the truth about this betrayal.
Milathi's Cold Revenge
Knowing the truth, Milathi quietly executed a plan. She trained the dogs to listen only to her commands. The big revelation is that she has trapped Kuriyachan in a secluded location. She uses the dogs to deliver food to him, but they also serve as his jailers.
Kuriyachan is physically unable to leave that spot. The dogs stand guard constantly, and if he tries to step out or escape, they are trained to kill him instantly. So, he is living like a prisoner, completely isolated from the world, with his life hanging by a thread controlled by the dogs.
A Metaphor for the Past
The scene where Milathi observes him through binoculars is significant. It mirrors her own past. In the flashback, her first husband did the exact same thing to her, he used dogs to guard her and prevent her from escaping. Now, the tables have turned completely.
She is subjecting Kuriyachan to the exact same psychological and physical confinement he and others forced upon her. The director used that flashback episode as a metaphor for this climax. It is a cycle of karma where the victim has taken control using the oppressor's methods.
Why Piyush is Helpless
You might be wondering about Piyush. In that final scene, he stands next to Milathi and realizes what is happening, yet he does nothing. Why? Well, he is in a checkmate position. First, he knows that if he tries to harm Milathi, those aggressive dogs will attack and kill him immediately.
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, Milathi is the only person who knows Kuriyachan's exact location. If Piyush hurts her, he loses any chance of finding or saving his boss. So, he is forced to stand there in silence, defeated by the situation she has orchestrated.
The Fate of Mohan
The movie gives us one last dark hint regarding Mohan, Kuriyachan's friend. It is strongly implied that Milathi used her trained dogs to have him killed as well. This confirms that she has eliminated all threats and established absolute dominance. I hope this explanation clears up the ending for you!
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Kuriyachan dead at the end of the movie?
No, Kuriyachan is actually still alive. However, his fate is perhaps worse than death. Milathi has trapped him in a secret location where he is forced to live as a prisoner. The dogs guard him day and night, ensuring he cannot escape, while Milathi watches him from afar.
2. Why didn't Piyush try to save Kuriyachan in the final scene?
Piyush is completely helpless in that situation for two main reasons. First, the ferocious dogs are trained to attack anyone who threatens Milathi, so he fears for his life. Second, Milathi is the only person who knows Kuriyachan's specific location. If Piyush harms her, he will never find his boss.
3. What exactly happened to Mohan?
The movie strongly hints that Mohan met a tragic end. The climax implies that Milathi used her trained dogs to kill him. This was part of her plan to remove anyone associated with Kuriyachan who could pose a threat to her newfound control and revenge.
4. Why was Milathi using binoculars in the last shot?
The binoculars are a symbol of her turning the tables on her oppressors. In her past, her first husband used to watch and control her in a similar way. By using the binoculars to watch Kuriyachan now, she is mirroring that past trauma but placing herself in the position of power.
