ABSTRACT

The Telugu film Naandi starring Allari Naresh and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar in the lead roles, which Vijay Kanakamedla directs, is a crime courtroom drama that revolves behind a man who is accused of a wrong case by the police using baseless evidence. “It is a fictional story inspired by several real-life incidents that are mostly unfamiliar to the public.” (Dundoo, 2021) The film depicts the pain and helplessness of the protagonist and his family. It represents the hardships of all the prisoners in India who live in prison under various criminal charges. The film’s main idea is to educate ordinary people on what people in power misuse and what IPC has in place to fight such people. It succeeds in driving this point strongly. The research paper’s main idea is to focus on Malicious Prosecution by the police, the sufferings of the innocent, and its remedy, i.e., section 211 available in the Indian Penal Code, which is not known to many of the people.
