Daayra film explores moral complexities of justice

The new film ‘Daayra’, directed by Meghna Gulzar, explores the moral complexities of the justice system through a police procedural. The narrative follows two officers, DCP Raman Kumar, played by Prithviraj Sukumaran, and DCP Ajooni Kohli, played by Kareena Kapoor Khan, who find themselves on opposing sides of the same system during an investigation.

While the film touches upon police actions and decisions, the creators have clarified that it is not intended to be a film about police brutality. Instead, it aims to act as a mediator for a debate regarding crime, punishment, and the thin line between legal duty and moral truth. The story is inspired by true events and weaves together references from various cases to examine accountability and the limits of justice.
