Huma Qureshi’s upcoming movie Bayaan is an investigative thriller that revolves around a female detective solving her first case in a small town of Rajasthan. Huma’s character finds herself entangled in the web of religion, power and a system built on the influence of her opponent. With the struggle to live up to her father’s reputation in law enforcement, Huma’s character gets head-on with the deep-rooted patriarchy system in rural India.

Huma Qureshi has been seen in several roles ranging from a comedic character to a glam diva, but this will be her first role as a serious investigative officer. The makers of the movie recently unveiled the poster of Bayaan on Instagram and announced that the film has been selected to premiere at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival 2025. It has made history as it is the only Indian movie to be screened under the Discovery Section of the film festival.
