The gritty courtroom drama subtly, but effectively, highlights the importance of understanding the choices women make and about respecting those choices.

The film features Big B as a lawyer, who fights a case of sexual assault involving three women against a man, who belongs to an influential family. A strong message that the film gives out is that no matter how a woman dresses, what she does or what she thinks, when she says no to sexual advances, it is a definite no.

Apart from Mr Bachchan, the film also features Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Andrea Tariang, Angad Bedi, Piyush Mishra and Dhritiman Chatterjee in key roles. The film is produced by Shoojit Sircar.
