Wikipedia article
'Guilty' is a 2020 Indian Hindi-language thriller drama film directed by Ruchi Narain and written by Ruchi Narain, Kanika Dhillon and Atika Chohan. Starring Kiara Advani and several others, the film follows the story of a songwriter whose boyfriend is accused of rape during the era of #MeToo. The film is the first production venture of Dharmatic, the digital arm of Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. It was released on 6 March 2020 on Netflix.
Plot
Nanki Dutta finds herself in a dilemma when Tanu Kumar, a new student in her university, joins in the '#MeToo' movement accusing Vijay "VJ" Pratap Singh, Nanki's boyfriend, of having raped her on the night of Valentine's 2018. Nanki attempts to help Vijay by consulting Danish Ali Baig, the lawyer investigating VJ's side of the story. Throughout the movie, we experience Nanki's frequent panic attacks and hallucinations based on the recent incident. Later on in the movie, Danish wins the case and Vijay is released much to Tanu's dismay. However, Nanki remains suspicious due to inconsistencies with the case. During a festival held at the campus, Tanu explains every detail of what happened during the fateful night while exposing her true intentions and feeling towards Vijay. Nanki deduces Tanu's #MeToo tweet and ties every loose end cited throughout the film and comes to the realization that Tanu told the truth all along. A betrayed Vijay is arrested by local authorities. Soon after, Nanki gains the courage to share her own experience with sexual abuse/ rape, encouraged by a relieved Tanu.
