About

In this exclusive interview, Konkona Sensharma and Pratibha Ranta open up about their powerful film Accused. From why the story is set in London to the deeper themes of thermals, identity, and morality, the conversation explores the emotional and political layers of the film. Konkona talks about playing Dr. Geetika Sen, portraying an intentionally unlikable older woman on screen, and what she learned from the film. She also discusses her character’s queer identity and the importance of representing complex women without softening their edges. Pratibha shares her experience working with Konkona, her takeaways from the collaboration, and reflects on the film’s casting choices. The conversation also addresses whether Accused is being simplified as just a homosexual love story, the portrayal of a queer couple, audience reactions to the early cut, and the larger social themes the film highlights. If you’re interested in nuanced cinema, queer representation in Indian films, and layered female characters, this deep dive into Accused is a must-watch. Learn more about your ad choices.
