CrimeDrama114 min
Manoj Bajpayee is Ramchandra Siras, a respected linguistics professor at Aligarh University whose life is upended when he is suspended on charges of homosexuality. As the case spills beyond campus, Rajkummar Rao’s sympathetic journalist begins covering Siras’s story, tracing the pressure of public scrutiny on a private man. Based on a true story, the film stays close to the professor’s isolation and the uneasy attention surrounding him, moving between university corridors, media interest, and the human cost of being turned into a headline.
