Accused trailer: Konkona called ‘sexual predator’ in Netflix original film; wife Pratibha Ranta struggles to believe

Accused trailer: On Saturday, Netflix India dropped the much-awaited trailer of Konkona Sen Sharma and Pratibha Ranta's upcoming psychological thriller, titled Accused. Starring Konkona Sen Sharma and Pratibha Ranta as a same-sex married couple, the film is set overseas where a serious allegation pushes the two towards the edge, almost to the verge of ending their relationship.

Accused trailer out

In the trailer, Konkona Sen Sharma is introduced as Dr Geetika, who is a gynaecologist. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she gets accused of sexual misconduct at work. She is labelled as a “sexual predator”. The allegations surfaced right when she and her wife, Meera, played by Pratibha Ranta, announce the news of adopting a child together. This is when an anonymous complaint reaches the human resources team of the hospital.

While the allegations affect Dr Geetika's career, her personal life also takes a hit. As Meera struggles to have faith in her partner, she says that she isn't surprised, as there were past allegations against Dr Geetika as well. However, this one is too serious, as per Dr Geetika.

The clip shifts to how Geetika and Meera's marriage crumbles as the situation gets worse with time. As public scrutiny grows, Dr Geetika is left with very little help but to watch her life fall apart.

Sharing the trailer, Netflix India's official Instagram post read, “Every relationship has secrets. Are you ready to find theirs?

About Accused

Written by Sima Agarwal and Yash Keswani, Accused is helmed by director Anubhuti Kashyap. It is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawala and Somen Mishra.

Talking about the film, the makers said in a statement, "Accused is the kind of story that stays with you because it refuses to simplify human behaviour or moral conflict. Anubhuti has crafted a deeply nuanced film that places women at the centre of a narrative we rarely explore, one where power, perception, and belief are constantly shifting. With Konkona and Pratibha leading the film, we're looking at a relationship tested not just by accusation, but by doubt itself. It's a story told with restraint, empathy, and courage, and we're proud to bring it to Netflix, a platform that has supported the film's intent to provoke thought rather than judgment."

Accused release date

Accused will release on Netflix on February 27.
