“Jab aadmi successful hota hai to hum kehte hain deserve karta hai, but when a woman reaches a powerful position, we doubt, aisa kya kiya hoga. Youngest HOD, First Female Dean,” Konkona Sen Sharma raises some very brutal and sharp questions, which we often raise as a society. Women, in fact, powerful and successful women, are the easiest prey for a judgmental society!

Moreover, a lesbian couple, successful and established, is a cherry on top! So Dr. Geetina Sen and Dr. Meera Mishra, a married lesbian couple living abroad, face the hardest time in their lives when one of them is accused of sexual misconduct! But is she the victim or the culprit, forms the entire plot of the latest drama produced by Dharmatic Entertainment!

Accused Movie Review: Script Analysis

The story and the premise of this psychological thriller directed by Anubhuti Kashyap are straight! Konkona Sen Sharma, an established and reputed surgeon, is asked to go low and take a leave from her hospital after a series of emails target and paint her as a sexual offender. An ex-journalist is appointed to investigate the case, and slowly all the circumstances, evidence, and people start going against her, including her spouse, Dr. Meera, played by a brilliant Pratibha Rannta!

Accused Movie Review: Star Performance

Is there anything that Konkona Sen Sharma cannot do? She leads this story as the Accused, and she plays it to perfection! At some point, you might believe that there is something fishy with her! She is the anchor of the film, and she does her job brilliantly! But the surprise here is Pratibha Rannta, who matches Konkona’s brilliance at par! After her stellar work in Laapataa Ladies and Heeramandi, Pratibha proves she is no one-hit wonder. Playing a character that is diametrically opposite to her previous roles, she brings a raw, vulnerable energy to the screen. To stand in a frame with Konkona Sen Sharma and not be overshadowed is a feat in itself, and Pratibha achieves it with grace.
