Jailer, the blockbuster movie of Deepavali 2023, has left an indelible mark on the audience, notably through the portrayal of Varman, a character etched in the viewers’ memory. Varman, the villain, is not just a character but a symbol of illusion-based perception.

In the movie, Varman’s sinister activities create an expectation of his ultimate demise. The anticipation is not rooted in his heinous crimes but in the suspicion he casts upon his victims. The narrative leads us to despise him, to yearn for his defeat at the hands of the hero.

However, beyond the character, a revelation transcends the screen—a moment of gratitude. Varman, the actor, thanks the Directors and Rajinikanth for the opportunity to embody the worst villain character. In that moment, the illusion shatters, and tears well up, recognizing the person behind the role.

Varman’s purpose in the movie may seem simple—to smuggle statues. However, the real definiteness of purpose lies in his commitment to deliver an exceptional performance as a villain. This commitment propels him to fame, and his gratitude stems from the recognition of the impact he made through his role.
In life, as in the movies, our goals may appear straightforward. Yet, the depth of our commitment and the passion with which we pursue them define our true purpose. Varman’s journey serves as a reminder that success is not merely achieving the goal but embracing the purpose with unwavering determination.
PMA Success Principles: What is Our Goal in Life? A Call to Definiteness of Purpose
Napoleon Hill once said, “Unless each of us chooses a definite purpose in life, somebody will choose for us.” This rings true, especially in a society where external influences can sway our choices. Shockingly, 98% of people, according to Hill, lack a clear goal or direction in life.
For Malaysian Indians, the situation may be even more dire, evident in societal indicators such as incarceration rates and living standards. The call to action is clear—choose your purpose or risk having it chosen for you. The principle of definiteness of purpose becomes not just a guiding light but a lifeline in a sea of uncertainty.
