The Trial

Sameer lodaya

The series is just another court room stories what we have seen before in guilty minds and a season of criminal justice featuring kirti

The series is inspired by a British series called the good wife but here yet the good wife character has to come now the ongoing season is just showcasing a lawyer..this season has just focused on some cases and how the law firm solves it..the series is slow in pace and lagging in 8 long episodes where the main content of a wife as a lawyer fighting for her husband is kept for another season..

The performances are just average and nothing extraordinary with top and renowned actors

It would be good if they would had focused on the wife fighting for her accused husband.

Kajol steals the show at ease,with her hiatious career experience she does it flawlessly... The dialogues are the backbone of the series which is a see through or has to pass out in every common man's life lessons One of the standout aspects of "The Trial" is its strong and well-developed characters. Each character is intricately crafted, with their own unique motivations and conflicts. The performances of the cast are commendable, bringing these characters to life with depth and conviction.

The storyline of "The Trial" is both engaging and thought-provoking. It delves into the complex nature of the legal system, highlighting the challenges and biases that exist within it. The series raises important questions about truth, justice, and the power dynamics at play in the courtroom.

The cinematography and production design of "The Trial" are top-notch. The series creates a visually stunning world that enhances the overall viewing experience. The attention to detail in recreating the courtroom setting and the use of lighting and camera angles effectively capture the intensity and drama of the trial proceedings.

The pacing of the series is well-balanced, keeping the audience hooked from start to finish. The narrative unfolds in a way that keeps viewers guessing and constantly questioning the outcome of the trial. The suspense and tension are expertly maintained throughout each episode.

In conclusion, "The Trial" is a must-watch Hindi web series that combines compelling storytelling, strong performances, and relevant social commentary. It is a thought-provoking and gripping series that will leave viewers wanting more. Whether you are a fan of crime dramas or interested in exploring the flaws of the legal system, "The Trial" will not disappoint.

The titular Trial is practically non existent and while one would assume this is a legal thriller, one would be sorely mistaken. The struggle that they desperately try to showcase is non existent, almost as if Kajol had given clear instructions that her time on the show should be as comfortable as possible and her struggle resembles that of a Bollywood star kid.

The trial is also poorly captured, depicted and executed and almost seems to be the background artist of the show unlike what the title seems to convey unless maybe there is a personal and social trial also happening but maybe that episode seems missing.

Poor casting, terrible acting and misguided direction seem to be the only consistent parts of the show. It's almost like Ajay Devgn was planning a holiday for his better half with some mild work thrown in, and here she has done enough to challenge the better part of the better half title.

Characters are all over the place. Even stalwarts have been reduced to one dimensional, almost caricaturish representations of what they could have been.

I'm uncertain about why this series received a low rating, but personally, I enjoyed it a lot as it kept me thoroughly engaged. Nowadays, we often witness excessive use of abusive language, cuss words, and unnecessary sex scenes in many series. However, this particular series refrained from incorporating such elements, despite having the opportunity to do so. It impressively depicted the struggles of a woman trying to protect her family at any cost, while also avoiding over-dramatization. The series also portrayed the significance of a woman's career. Though at times, I found it slightly drawn-out, I am eagerly anticipating the next seasons.

An adaptation of the American Series, The Good Wife, The Trial is the story of an ex-lawyer Nyonika Sengupta ( Kajol) who has quit practice to focus on her family. She is forced to return to work after her husband Rajiv ( Jishu Sengupta) who is an additional judge, is jailed on charges of sex & corruption. It showcases her struggles in the courtroom especially after being out of action for a decade and how she overcomes one obstacle after another to emerge a winner.

I haven't watched the American series and hence my review of this series is purely a standalone one without comparing it with the original. So here goes ...

The storyline is crisp & well edited. It has good production value, a stellar cast who have done an awesome job. There are some minor loopholes here and there but these can be discounted!!

Some members of the cast worth mentioning would be... Alyy Khan who plays Vishal , Nyonika's ex- boyfriend. Sheeba Chadda ( Malini ) who has essayed the role of Nyonika's boss , Kubra Sait as Sana who is Nyonika's subordinate at work and a well wisher.

Kajol is great as the protagonist even though she goes overboard at times. But to cut her some slack , a decent performance overall.

Ritu Raj & Kiran Kumar are however wasted in miniscule roles.

The climax isn't over dramatic & the season ends on a logical note !! Season 2 is definitely coming !!

Decent watch !! However if you compare it with similar dramas like Dirty Minds & The Broken news, I found the above 2 better .

Going with 3/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂!!
