Accused is a 2026 Indian drama thriller-mystery film directed by Anubhuti Kashyap from a screenplay by Seema Agarwal and Yash Keswani. The film premiered on the Netflix movie platform on 27 February 2026.
The movie "„Accused“" explores the sensitive and often painful subject of sexual harassment allegations through the personal story of a respected London doctor whose peace and career are shattered by a series of anonymous complaints. It is a dramatic and provocative tale of power, vulnerability and social condemnation in the modern world.
The main character, Dr. Jeetika Sen, is a highly respected gynecologist and head of the department at a prestigious hospital in London. She is known for her professional achievements, but also for her tough and sometimes sharp character. While she and her partner, Dr. Mira Mishra, are planning not only their careers but also the adoption of a child, their idyll is suddenly shattered. An anonymous complaint of sexual misconduct against Jeetika escalates into a series of other accusations that begin to destroy not only her reputation, but also her personal life and professional prospects.
As external pressure mounts and conflicting allegations capture public attention, Jeetika and Meera are forced to deal with growing skepticism, suspicion, and the revelation of past relationships that become the focus of the investigation. The film places the viewer in a situation of doubt – whether the accusations are substantive or the result of social prejudice and personal conflicts, questioning the way society responds to troubling allegations.
Anubhuti Kashyap builds "„Accused“" with a focus on psychological tension and internal revelations. The director's vision is more focused on human drama and the characters' reactions than on extreme scenes or flashy twists. With a dense, almost theatrical atmosphere, the film emphasizes what happens behind the closed doors of the hospital corridors and in personal relationships. The camera often focuses on the intense dialogues and reactions of the characters, creating a sense of accusation not only from the other characters, but also from the viewer himself.
The performances are a central part of the film's impact, with the lead actresses carrying the emotional weight of the story:
Konkona Saint Sharma – as Dr. Jeetika Sen, she portrays a complex, ambivalent character whose confidence is eroded by public attacks and personal doubts.
Prativha Ranta – as Dr. Meera Mishra, Jeetika's partner and wife, who tries to keep their relationship alive despite the mounting pressure.
Mashhoor Amroh – in the role of investigative journalist Jaideep Bhargav, who represents the outside perspective on the unfolding events.
Sukant Goel – as Mansur, part of the process of investigation and pressure on the main character.
Monica Mahendru – as Simran, the head of human resources, who initially notified Jeetika of the complaint.
Supporting performances add to the atmosphere of uncertainty and constant questioning, helping the viewer engage with the moral and emotional dilemma of the story.
„Accused“" is a provocative psychological thriller that questions the way society reacts to serious accusations and how this affects the personal lives of the people involved. The film does not offer easy answers - instead, it focuses on human weaknesses, fears and the ways in which prejudice can determine destinies. While the performance and plot received mixed reviews from critics and viewers, with some praise for the acting and ideas, and criticism for a lack of depth in the script, "„Accused“" remains an interesting example of cinema that tries to talk about important and sensitive topics.
