What happens when belief becomes a choice, and standing by someone comes at a personal cost? Directed by Anubhuti Kashyap, Accused stars Konkona Sen Sharma and Pratibha Rannta in a layered, emotionally charged story that interrogates truth, power, and trust in the face of accusation. The film premieres on Netflix on 27 February.
Produced by Dharma Productions, Accused follows a celebrated doctor in London whose carefully built life begins to unravel after she is accused of sexual misconduct. As public scrutiny intensifies and opinion hardens, the film explores how perception can quickly replace certainty, placing immense strain on personal relationships. By positioning a woman as the accused, Accused challenges viewers to confront discomfort and moral ambiguity, unfolding as a story of one woman’s word against another.
Speaking about the film, the team behind Accused shared, “This is a story that refuses to simplify human behaviour or moral conflict. With women at the centre of a narrative rarely explored, Accused examines how power, perception, and belief constantly shift. Konkona and Pratibha bring extraordinary depth to a relationship tested not just by accusation, but by doubt itself.”
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director, Original Films, Netflix India, added, “Accused is an emotionally resonant film that explores the personal consequences of accusation with sensitivity and restraint. With standout performances and nuanced storytelling, it reflects the kind of layered, character-driven narratives Netflix is proud to support.”
Written by Sima Agarwal and Yash Keswani, Accused is a restrained yet gripping exploration of trust under pressure, examining the emotional cost of choosing sides when certainty is absent.
Accused streams exclusively on Netflix from 27 February.
