Last month, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's System, starring Jyotika and Sonakshi Sinha, revolved around a chilling idea: it does not matter whether you committed a crime; what matters is whether you can prove your innocence in court. The acclaimed Drishyam franchise has also explored a similar belief. Anurag Kashyap's latest film, Bandar, revisits the same unsettling theme and turns its gaze towards India's overburdened judicial system.

The Plot

Bobby Deol stars as Samar Mehra, a moderately successful musician. He is not famous enough to be hounded by paparazzi, but famous enough to make headlines when he is accused of rape. Samar maintains that he is innocent. The complaint is filed by Gayatri (Sapna Pabbi), a former girlfriend who struggles to move on after their relationship ends from the man's side. While Samar begins dating Khushi (Saba Azad), his past returns to haunt him.
