Streaming platform Netflix India has unveiled the official trailer of Accused, a psychological thriller starring Konkona Sen Sharma and Pratibha Ranta.
The film centres on a same-sex couple whose relationship is tested after one partner faces serious allegations at her workplace.
Storyline: Career and Marriage Under Strain
Konkona plays Dr. Geetika, a respected London-based gynaecologist whose professional and personal life is thrown into turmoil after she is accused of sexual misconduct by an anonymous complainant.
Geetika and her partner Meera (played by Pratibha Ranta) are in the process of planning to adopt a child when the allegation surfaces. While past accusations had previously emerged, the latest complaint carries severe consequences, leading to public scrutiny and the damaging label of “sexual predator.”
The trailer highlights the emotional and psychological toll the accusation takes on Geetika as her carefully built career begins to crumble. Simultaneously, her marriage faces growing tension as doubt, perception, and trust come under
A Psychological Drama About Power and Perception
Directed by Anubhuti Kashyap, Accused explores complex themes of belief, moral conflict, and the fragility of relationships under public pressure.
In an official statement, the makers described the film as a nuanced narrative that places women at the centre of a rarely explored story—one where power dynamics and perception continuously shift. The film aims to provoke thought rather than deliver easy answers.
The screenplay is written by Sima Agarwal and Yash Keswani.
Backed by Prominent Producers
Accused is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, and Somen Mishra. The psychological thriller is set to premiere on Netflix on February 27.

Fans described the story as “intense,” “thought-provoking,” and “different from mainstream thrillers,” expressing anticipation for the film’s release.
