Samar
Mehra is a not-so-young TV star whose fame is fading. He is a profoundly flawed
man who is out of touch with changing attitudes about gender and power. He is
happy in his new relationship with a young woman, Khushi, when his ex, Gayatri,
tries to return to his life. He cuts off all contact and blocks her. But things
take a serious turn when Gayatri accuses him of rape. He is soon arrested and
faces a corrupt legal system determined to keep him in jail. Riddled with
suspense and shifting alliances, this story of love, lies, and responsibility
takes nothing for granted as it reshapes Samar's life.
