A Knowing

Unethical Clinical Trials have been the silent killers for generations. It is everywhere at all times, just like the virus. One such trial has torn two lovers apart, a woman who had been a victim of misinformation and a man who overlooked the truth. Now, she is one of the 'wakers' in a ghost town called Orbit. They can never meet. Prolonged isolation and extended quarantines had subjected both of them to severe mental stress and anxiety. But, they still try to cope up with whatever they can, she sneaks in a phone to the washroom of the facility and video calls him. They both fear for each other. She must distract and stop him from 'blowing the whistle' to the world. And, he must tell the truth to save his girlfriend and all the 'wakers'.

Directed by Souvik Chakraborty, A Knowing leans on a strong ensemble — Vikram Kochhar, Trishna Mukherjee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2023.
