Veer Singh, a respected former army intelligence operative who now coaches underprivileged children, is arrested and charged with a series of killings of migrant children. Siddharth Jaisingh, a brilliant and media-savvy lawyer, takes the defence, facing a determined prosecutor and a thoughtful judge. As the trial unfolds, the case stops being straightforward: the accused's behaviour raises questions about memory, identity and the mind, and the court must decide not only whether he is guilty but who exactly is standing in the dock. Nail Polish is a courtroom drama that leans on performances, especially Manav Kaul's layered turn as the accused and Arjun Rampal as the defence counsel. It was the feature directorial debut of advertising filmmaker Bugs Bhargava Krishna.
