Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
观影过程中一直在思考为什么美国大公司的CEO都是印度人，难道我们中国人不配当苹果的、facebook、谷歌的ceo吗，我的结论是到顶尖人才这个层面拼的就不是赚钱的能力，而是内心的修为和信仰，将连数字都不识的村民和莽荒时代的警察们，那么落后的印度拍出来的，却是的印度精英的电影人。
看过之后，没有感受到谁是特别令人震撼或者说感动，倒是觉得最终沉冤得雪最大的功臣应该是法官高度正直和明辨是非。感觉这片子把正义的化身过多的赋予了律师，而法官的决定性作用弱化到理所应当，这显然缺乏说服力。如果公正法官的表现是常态化的，那打赢这场官司其实并不特别难；如果法官顶住了很多压力，坚持给予公正审判，不卖人情不同流合污，那法官才是更值得描写的英雄呀！
一部正能量满满的宣扬正义的南印电影，令人震惊的竟然是真实事件改编。带有梦幻色彩的结局给这个不幸的事件一个圆满的答案。感叹印度种姓制度的痼疾之毒的同时，对于印度法院在整个事件中表现得公正不阿，让人不禁唏嘘称赞，虽显得有些魔幻，但希望真实的印度法院系统能真的如此中立公正。
这句响亮的口号喊出了印度历史上第五种姓的变革。
好人，坏人和法官都过于符号化，但至少这样的题材人家敢拍
转折的太突然，剧情过于冗长。。。但是不妨碍是一部优秀的影片。
有的人就是为了公平正义而生的。
正义不会迟到，为那些底层的人奋战，为有良心的人们喝彩！
电影是强大的武器，但重要的是我们通过使用它来保护谁......
小女孩学律师看报纸的镜头真好，所有的努力不都是为了这一个结果吗？
人物塑造和台词上都太满了，显得浅白，叙事节奏和角度还不错，一环扣一环，但是突然爆出的BGM还是让人不适应
9.0/10 关乎尊严。印度人能拍出这样的电影，中国导演制片人们在干啥呢？
拖延症拖到现在才看完这部。事件本身的意义大于一切。
血淋淋地展示了底层人民的生存状况。没有土地，住不起砖房，拿着微薄的收入小心翼翼地生活，却仍然不知道何时天降横祸，随时会被警察污蔑犯罪。警察明知犯罪者是谁，可在受贿后闭口不言，随便抓人顶罪，不分青红皂白妄图屈打成招。昏迷过去直接向眼睛撒辣椒粉，为了撤销指控数次威胁家属，大街上把孩子抢走。甚至把人打死后还要污蔑他逃狱，暗地里却把尸体扔在荒野外。触目惊心的画面竟然是根据真实改编，让人窒息。而好的是这不是近年来的案件，并且还能被改编成电影上映，敢于承认且揭露真相，是伟大的举动。
可看性很强，可以当律师片看，一路高歌猛进的人权律师，总能拿到出其不意的证据击溃愚蠢的警察。
一个魔幻现实吊炸天的原型故事就这么被总是“适时”响起的傻不拉几的激昂BGM和过度神化的视角拖了后腿，硬是整成了三流爽剧。亮点都在部落里了，看他们对于苦难的描述，仿佛永无休止的噩梦，不像是电影而是纪录片。神奇国度，诚不欺我。
不要再叫阿三了，如果他们是，我们就是阿四了
“我不是天生的律师，我只是一个人。假设一个被蛇咬的受害者来到你身边，为生活而挣扎，如果他没有钱，你会拒绝他吗？” 良心之行。
没什么想说的 只是留了几滴泪 然后拉黑了十几个打1、2星的短评(奇怪 性别非常统一)
在以前的印度电影中很少看到的政治派系斗争的影子，不断描绘的令人发指暴行与无耻谎言，让人感到这世界上没有安全的地方。
