Synopsis
Soni, a young policewoman in Delhi, and her superintendent Kalpana have collectively taken on the growing crisis of violent crimes against women. However, their alliance suffers a major setback when Soni is transferred out for alleged misconduct on duty. Soni’s professional life is further strained by certain developments in her personal life, when she is forced to deal with the sudden arrival of her estranged husband.
Director’s Statement
The genesis of the film lies in a personal desire to share the humanness that I’ve experienced in the women I have crossed paths with in my life. Set in Delhi, India, the narrative centres around two policewomen who have stepped up to curtail sexual violence against women. I knew that I neither wanted to glorify nor victimise the female characters. A Police station is a place where the direst weaknesses of a social structure are at full display. Certain events in the story were pieced together from real-life experiences of Delhi’s policewomen. Though equally important for me was to portray these events in a manner which highlights the complexity of judgement calls made in the heat of a moment.
