Kshana Kshanam

Satya is stuck in a loveless marriage, with a mediocre job while trying to stay sober. When he is introduced to an extramarital dating website, he talks to a woman named Maya. They decide to meet but things go wrong and Satya finds himself desperately trying to prove his innocence. While the life he once had was unhappy, he is now living his worst nightmare.

Directed by Karthik Medikonda, Kshana Kshanam leans on a strong ensemble — Uday Shankar, Jia Sharma, Shruti Singh — 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 crime titles of 2021.
