A senior lawyer at the law firm defending VJ (Gurfateh Singh Pirzada), a DU college student accused of rape, offhandedly mentions that he has stopped hiring women interns after the #MeToo movement. The nonchalance with which he utters this as a solution is striking, as if the only way to ensure a safe working environment is to keep women away.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one line sticks for it encompasses the host of fault lines that were revealed in the wake of the Indian #MeToo reckoning two years ago \u2013 how ill-equipped most workplaces were to act on accusations of inappropriate behaviour, the Indian mentality that holds women accountable for their own safety, and more crucially, how speaking out often works against women and derails their careers. If <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were made up of more such moments, it could have been a thorough record of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/why-hanging-nirbhayas-rapists-is-not-the-end-of-the-fight-against-sexual-violence\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sexual violence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the continuing challenges of guaranteeing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/gargi-college-harassment-case-how-an-institution-let-down-its-women-students\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">safe spaces for women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The middling film that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ultimately becomes, is a far cry from the competence of this sequence. Letdown by a muddled screenplay and a collective commitment to screechy overacting, it gives an illusion of substance while resorting to ignorant cliches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Written by Narain, Atika Chohan, and Kanika Dhillon and produced by Karan Johar\u2019s Dharmatic Entertainment, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, set in Delhi 2018,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">traces the investigation of a rape accusation. In the throes of the #MeToo revelations on social media, Tanu Sharma (a dreadful Akanksha Ranjan Kapoor) tweets about VJ, the college heartthrob, raping her on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/valentines-day-gagan-arora-hira-ashar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Valentine\u2019s Day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a year ago. Operating between two timelines, the film unfolds as a \u201che said, she said\u201d narrative as Danish (Taher Shabbir), VJ\u2019s lawyer interviews his friends to get the complete picture of the night of the crime. His politically-connected family and friends, including his girlfriend, Nanki Dutta (Kiara Advani), are convinced of his innocence \u2013 going as far as to claim that it was Tanu who raped him.\u00a0<\/span><br><blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><em>Guilty<\/em> is intriguing. Yet, it squanders its own accomplishment by adding classism into the mix.<\/blockquote><br><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ambitiously, and at times, deftly, charts out the reasons why no one seems to believe Tanu. The argument against her is her <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/trending\/bollywood-may-just-get-redemption-for-its-infamous-reputation-of-miscasting-actors-when-it-comes-to-biopics-ranveer-singh-being-cast-as-kapil-dev-in-83\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reputation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In their recollection, Nanki and her friends reason that Tanu was sexually promiscuous (one of them call her a \u201cfuck girl\u201d), attention-seeking, and vocal about her infatuation toward VJ \u2013 even on the night of the rape, it was Tanu who was \u201cthrowing herself\u201d on him, implying that she is at fault. Even though none of them object to the assertion that VJ did have sex with Tanu that night, it\u2019s underlined by an assumption that it was Tanu who forced him into it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the writers argue that this animosity toward Tanu stems from decades of normalised <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/twinkle-khanna-mallika-dua-controversy-akshay-kumar-the-great-indian-laughter-challenge-mrs-funnybones-casual-sexism\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">casual sexism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well as her refusal to behave like a \u201cperfect victim\u201d (in another highlight moment, a female student makes an unseemly remark about Tanu\u2019s revealing dress \u2013 \u201cShe\u2019s dressing like this? Even after the rape?\u201d), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is intriguing. Yet, it squanders its own accomplishment by adding classism into the mix. The film pits Tanu as a small-town girl from Dhanbad who is a visible misfit among VJ and his friends, all of whom come from wealthy, connected families.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet, as can be expected from a reductive reading of class disparity, Tanu\u2019s small-town origins (she speaks in Hindi as opposed to the others who are fluent in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/un-english-language-day-mother-tongue\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">English<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) is used as confirmation of her lower-class status. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes no direct reference to Tanu\u2019s social standing and the fact that hailing from a small town is not a direct marker of someone\u2019s class standing escapes the film\u2019s writers. Similarly, assertions of privilege seem redundant given that everyone in the film enjoys a fair degree of privilege, including Tanu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The glaring problem with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, despite its promising premise, is the fact that its writing is consistently juvenile. The film possesses the correct vocabulary but is clueless on how to effectively employ it to build a credible story. Take for instance\u00a0 a moment where Nanki accuses VJ of \u201ccharacter assassinating\u201d her for implying that her local guardian wants to get into her pants. She yells at him to stop the car at a deserted road well past midnight and storms off. Seconds later, a truck drives past and she is eve-teased only to have VJ come to her rescue. The messaging of how <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/nirbhaya-delhi-gang-rape-men\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unsafe Delhi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is for women is so on-the nose that it comes without any real insight besides the fact that women need men to protect them.\u00a0<\/span><br><blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><em>Guilty<\/em> possesses the correct vocabulary but is clueless on how to effectively employ it to build a credible story.<\/blockquote><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even disappointing is how <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trivialises the complexities of women resorting to using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/toxic-call-out-culture-social-media\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to call out sexual harassment. Not only does the film fail to dig deep into the inadequacy of the legal system (no legal authorities make an appearance in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) to empower victims of sexual assault, but it is also deeply suspicious of the methods employed by them. It doesn\u2019t help that the central conceit of the film, involving Nanki\u2019s muddled <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/health\/depression-middle-class-diagnosis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mental state<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is used as a gimmick. The writers withhold crucial information in a bid to make <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> feel like a thriller, but all it does is hamper the viewer\u2019s reading of Nanki, who comes across as impossibly whiny. Although Advani is sincere on her part, her character is severely underwritten and saddled with some of the film\u2019s worst dialogues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The writers play it so safe that there\u2019s rarely a doubt over what actually transpired that night. Part of the reason is because <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> seems too invested in drawing out easy melodrama by pitting its two female leads against each other instead of exploring the male psyche: VJ, his motivations, and the culpability of his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/in-memory-of-friends-1990-documentary-1984-pogrom-sikhs-india\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">friends<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are barely touched upon. It\u2019s not entirely clear whether he even feels guilty for his actions or how warped his understanding of consent is. So when the big reveal comes in the film\u2019s closing sequence, it feels all too convenient and ill-earned.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guilty <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comes down to saying not a whole lot, besides the fact that rape survivors continue to be disbelieved and that sexual violence is a lifelong <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/first-person\/how-the-music-i-once-associated-with-love-turned-into-a-trigger-for-my-trauma\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trauma<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for women.
