In a remote village where the forest begins at the edge of everyday life, fear has learned to live quietly. People speak of tiger attacks, of roars in the night, of deaths that no one dares to question. Over time, these stories become explanations—and explanations become comfort.
Dheera left this village years ago in search of a future beyond its boundaries. When he returns, he finds that the familiar has changed. Faces look the same, but something feels wrong. The nights are heavier, the silence longer, and the forest is blamed for more than it can explain.
As Dheera steps beyond the limits others refuse to cross, he begins to uncover a truth hidden beneath superstition and fear. What he finds is not a creature of the wild, but a system that survives by remaining unquestioned—one built on silence, identity, and belief.
Behind the Tiger’s Face is a psychological thriller that explores how fear can be shaped, how truth can be disguised, and how one man’s resolve can disturb a world built on lies.
Some monsters roar.
Others wait.
