It's been close to a decade since the MeToo movement started. In those couple of years, we saw multiple superstars be taken down for actions that had become all too normalised in the industry. Ten years or so later, director Anubhuti Kashyap flips the concept on its head by putting a woman’s head on the gallows, with her new film Accused which released this week. We sit down with the makers and actors and ask: Why should you watch this film?
Kashyap’s previous works include Doctor G (2022), a movie about a medical student who becomes the only man in the gynaecology department of his college. Accused presents us with Dr Geetika (Konkona Sen Sharma), an esteemed gynaecologist in London who lives with her partner Meera (Pratibha Rannta). “What’s the obsession with gynaecologists?” we ask Kashyap. She breaks into laughter, “I tried really hard not to, but that’s the only profession that fit.”
