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 🙂!!
