What happens when belief becomes a choice, and standing by someone comes at a personal cost? Directed by Anubhuti Kashyap, starring Konkona Sen Sharma and Pratibha Ranta, Accused brings to the screen a layered, emotionally charged story that interrogates truth, power, and trust in the face of accusation. The film premieres on Netflix on 27 February.
About Accused
Produced by Dharma Productions, Accused follows a celebrated doctor in London whose carefully constructed life begins to fracture after she is accused of sexual misconduct. As scrutiny intensifies and public opinion hardens, the film explores the strains this places on her closest relationships, and how quickly perception can take hold when certainty is out of reach. By centring on a woman as the accused, Accused asks viewers to sit with discomfort and doubt, unfolding as a story of one woman’s word against another.
Netflix unveiled two posters of Accused on its official Instagram account, with the caption: “Dr. Geetika`s toughest case yet. A reputed surgeon sees her reputation at stake.”

`A narrative where power, perception, and belief are shifting`
Talking about the film, Team Accused shared, “Accused is the kind of story that stays with you because it refuses to simplify human behaviour or moral conflict. Anubhuti has crafted a deeply nuanced film that places women at the centre of a narrative we rarely explore, one where power, perception, and belief are constantly shifting. With Konkona and Pratibha leading the film, we’re looking at a relationship tested not just by accusation, but by doubt itself. It’s a story told with restraint, empathy, and courage, and we’re proud to bring it to Netflix, a platform that has supported the film’s intent to provoke thought rather than judgment.”
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director, Original Films, Netflix India, shared, “Accused is a meaningful, emotionally resonant film that explores truth, belief, and the personal consequences of an accusation. Anubhuti Kashyap’s sensitivity and restraint add depth to a powerful subject. With standout performances from Konkona Sen Sharma and Pratibha Ranta, the film embodies the kind of layered, character-driven storytelling Netflix stands behind.”
With its nuanced storytelling from writers Sima Agarwal and Yash Keswani, restrained tension, and deeply felt performances, Accused offers a compelling exploration of trust under pressure and the emotional cost of choosing sides when certainty is absent. The film invites audiences to confront uncomfortable questions about belief, loyalty, and the fragile line between truth and perception.
Accused streams exclusively on Netflix from 27 February
