The film premieres exclusively on Netflix on February 27, 2026.Produced by Dharma Productions, Accused follows a celebrated London-based doctor whose carefully constructed life begins to unravel after she is accused of sexual misconduct.
As public scrutiny intensifies and opinions harden, the film explores the toll on her closest relationships and how rapidly perception can shape reality when certainty is elusive. By centering on a woman as the accused, Accused challenges viewers to sit with discomfort and doubt, unfolding a gripping story of one woman’s word against another’s.

Anubhuti Kashyap has crafted a deeply nuanced film that places women at the heart of a narrative rarely explored—where power, perception, and belief constantly shift. With Konkona and Pratibha leading, we explore a relationship tested not only by accusation but by doubt itself. Told with restraint, empathy, and courage, we are proud to bring this film to Netflix, a platform that supports thoughtful storytelling over judgment.”Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director, Original Films,
