Meghna Gulzar's Daayra Explores Complex Justice Themes Inspired by Multiple True Events
Meghna Gulzar's upcoming crime thriller Daayra, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, explores complex moral and legal conflicts through two police officers on opposing sides of a case. Inspired by multiple true events across India rather than a single incident, the film examines the grey areas of justice, law, and accountability. The trailer, released ahead of the film's September 18 debut, highlights the tension between the characters and the broader societal issues the story addresses.
