Inkaar is yet another film with the typical Sudhir Mishra type of a stamp. The film is realistic, hard hitting and is about gender politics and power play in a corporate house (in particular here as in advertising agencies).
Inkaar begins as a love story of Rahul Verma (Arjun Rampal) and Maya Luthra (Chitrangada Singh) and then it goes on to become an eyeopener for the current generation of executives. The relationship begins with adoration initially but as things get hotter with regards to promotion of these executives things drop down to such a level where charges of sexual harassment ae thrown upon each other.
Rahul Verma is the CEO of an advertising agency where his protege Maya Luthra too is vying for the top job in the company. What looked like a healthy competition started stinking once misunderstandings are created between them. Maya files a case of sexual harassment against Rahul.
The two are battling for the top job of the company. A committee comprising some internal executives and other professionals is then set up by the agency to hear both sides of the story and work through lies and accusations to find out the truth
Rahul denies that he ever had any such intentions to sexually harass Maya, but she insists that he makes her feel insecure and unsafe in her own office. Each of their version appears true for the committee to reach a clear conclusion as they cannot fathom who is the culprit.
Inkaar ends with an unexpected twist in the climax during the final confrontation between the protagonists. Arjun Rampla and Chitrangada Singh actually appear like real life career minded advertising execs and their romance happens just naturally.
