MITHYA - V View Reviews #61

Mithya is adapted from the British TV show 'Cheat'. The story revolves around a Hindi professor Juhi Adhikari ( Huma A Qureshi) who accuses her student Rhea Rajguru( Avantika Dassani) of plagiarising an essay. This accusation escalates into psychological warfare where two women try to outwit each other and neither of them is willing to give up.
