About the Film: They probably aren't what you'd expect. They help string together a spoken history of women who've made the unconventional career choice. Jasoosni is a frank and intimate reflection on women in the business of intelligence. How, even though the profession is illegal in India, love for adventure and economic mobility draw women across social mileux to it. Unlike the sexed up images of women detectives that flood our media streams, we see women who negotiate curfew hours with parents, crave for romantic time with their partner and deliberate on the ethical implications of the cases they solve. The film also reflects on the unforgiving demand to be ‘invisible’ as they go about their cases.

Look, who's watching you! You'd be surprised.
