Accused Plot: Meet Dr Geetika

Ambitious and admired, she is on track to become the Dean when her life takes a shocking turn. A series of anonymous allegations accusing her of sexual misconduct begins to surface, rapidly changing the way she is seen by colleagues, institutions and society at large.
As the investigation deepens, the film places the audience in a constant state of uncertainty, questioning whether the accusations are truth, assumption or something more complex. The narrative also moves beyond the professional fallout and into Geetika's personal life, where her marriage faces an emotional crisis.

Beyond A Courtroom Drama
Rather than being a conventional courtroom drama, Accused unfolds as an intimate psychological study of reputation, institutional power structures and the speed at which public opinion can turn.

With its global premiere on Netflix, Accused is expected to generate strong discussion for its bold theme and nuanced performances, offering viewers a gripping look at how admiration can turn into accusation almost overnight.
