Anubhuti Kashyap shares her vision for Accused

A deliberate refusal to sensationalize its subject is what shaped every storytelling choice behind Accused, according to director Anubhuti Kashyap.

Anubhuti Kashyap's creative approach to Accused

• Anubhuti Kashyap said keeping the narrative grounded was her top priority.
• Sensationalizing the subject matter was never even on the radar for her.
• Empathy drove the lens through which every scene got crafted.
• Kashyap is also the sister of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap.

What Accused is actually about

• Konkona Sen Sharma and Pratibha Ranta lead the cast.
• A woman facing sexual harassment allegations sits at the story's center.
• Uncomfortable plot points were intentionally baked into the script.
• Netflix is currently streaming the film.

Ambiguity was a deliberate choice

• Kashyap wanted certain story threads left unresolved on purpose.
• Discomfort in the narrative came from the core events, not the queer relationship.
• Every script decision traced back to what the subject demanded.
• Writing scenes that unsettle viewers was a conscious, guideline-driven move.
