Meghna Gulzar’s 'Daayra' explores extra-judicial violence and justice

Meghna Gulzar’s new film 'Daayra' examines the tension between instant vigilante retribution and institutional justice through a police procedural lens.

Prithviraj Sukumaran portrays a police officer conducting extra-judicial 'encounters', while Kareena Kapoor Khan plays the investigator reviewing his actions.

The film scrutinizes the flaws in the Indian justice system, including delays in trials and systemic bias, drawing parallels to real-world criminal cases.
