Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh (or simply Kahaani 2, English: Story 2) is a 2016 Indian thriller film directed by Sujoy Ghosh and produced by Ghosh and Jayantilal Gada. A sequel to the 2012 film Kahaani, the film features Vidya Balan, Arjun Rampal in lead roles and Jugal Hansraj and Kharaj Mukherjee in supporting roles. Principal photography took place from March 2016 to May 2016. The film was released on 2 December 2016. Kahaani 2 is the story of Durga Rani Singh who is charged with kidnapping and murder. It was declared tax-free in Uttar Pradesh on 15 December 2016. At the 62nd Filmfare Awards, Balan received a Best Actress nomination for her performance.
Vidya Sinha (Vidya Balan) is a middle-class working mother who lives in Chandan Nagar, West Bengal with her teenage daughter Minnie (Tunisha Sharma), who is paralyzed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair. However, Minnie is a happy child and Vidya dotes on her, working hard to save money so that she can take Minnie to America in the hope that the girl will walk again. Vidya has resumed writing a personal diary after a long gap of eight years.
One day, Vidya is forced to leave Mini home alone and unattended after waking up late. When she reaches work, she confirms through mobile that the nurse has arrived to look after Mini. When she returns home in the evening, her daughter is missing. A distraught Vidya finds out that the nurse hadn't come because she received a phone call from someone (pretending to be Vidya), telling her not to come. Vidya then receives a call from an unknown man asking her to come to an address if she does not want to see Mini dead. When she attempts to cross the road, a taxi knocks her down, sending her into a coma. She is admitted by the taxi-driver into a local nursing home of Dr. Maity (Pradip Mukherjee). A sub-inspector, Inderjeet Singh (Arjun Rampal) is put on Vidya's case. He visits the nursing home to see Vidya in coma. He gets a rude shock when he sees Vidya, as her face resembles that of Durga Rani Singh, whom he had known. He visits Vidya's home and finds her diary, which he takes in his custody to go through. Inderjeet's senior, Pranab Halder (Kharaj Mukherjee), informs him that Durga is wanted for a kidnapping and murder case. Inderjeet's wife Rashmi (Manini Chadha), a homemaker and mother of their daughter hasn't yet warmed up to Chandan Nagar and keeps asking him to take transfer to Kolkata. Inderjeet assures her that he is investigating a case and there is nothing personal.
