Against her superiors’ orders, young officer Roohi (Huma Qureshi) takes it upon herself to get to the bottom of the case, unknowingly stumbling into a large web of corruption, community complacence and institutional enabling.
Firmly rooted in the police procedural, Bayaan recalls the tenacity of Det. Oliva Benson from Law & Order: SVU, all while carving out a distinctively contemporary and regionally specific take on the familiar genre. Bayaan is a stong vehicle for Qureshi, who delivers a commanding performance as a woman fighting against both a system designed to protect abuses and the very women who help keep it in place.
