Disney+ Hotstar dropped the official trailer of their upcoming courtroom drama, The Trial – Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha on June 12, which showcases this gripping trial of life as Noyonika aka Kajol as she navigates through the curveballs life throws at her. The show also stars Sheeba Chaddha, Jisshu Sengupta, Alyy Khan, Kubbra Sait and Gaurav Pandey in key roles. The show is inspired by the original U.S. series The Good Wife, which was created by CBS Studios in association with Scott Free Productions and King Size Productions.
Speaking about the recently released trailer of The Trial – Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha, it shows a trail of turmoil for Noyonika and her family, as she is caught in a web of choices. The show is expected to follow the life of Noyonika as she embarks on a journey that truly makes her stand the test of time after her husband’s betrayal. It looks like a gritty courtroom drama that unravels moral dilemmas that drive Noyonika to take charge of her family and her independence. Driven to prove herself in the competitive world of law and navigating her way through complicated relationships while seeking justice for her husband, the aspiring lawyer treads through tough challenges served by her fate.
Talking about the series, Kajol said, “The complexities are what defines a character to me and the layers surrounding Noyonika are what spoke to me when this role first came over. Noyonika felt personal, I instantly felt protective about her and that reaffirmed my faith in choosing this show to be my first step into the long format. Suparn Varma has built a world where vulnerability of characters meet the cruel situations posed by life. The audience will feel for and feel one with Noyonika as she makes difficult choices, because I did.”
Jisshu Sengupta, who essays the role of her husband Rajeev Sengupta said, “Suparn Varma is a brilliant filmmaker and a storyteller. He treats his characters and their world like his own. My character Rajiv is the black to Noyonika’s white and that’s what fascinated me. Collaborating with Kajol on this, was absolutely incredible, she brought out a whole new shade to Rajiv’s character. I think the audience will find their chemistry quite different and keep them hooked to find out where they end up in life.”
Filmmaker Suparn S Varma added, “A choice is not defined by black and white facets, it’s the gray area that leads you to make the decision. The show treads in the gray area and the complexities that come with it. The characters are weaved in the story in a way that each of them navigates the story in a unique direction which builds their character arcs. Kajol as Noyonika and Jisshu as Rajiv bring this tightly woven world together seamlessly. The series will see remarkable talent collaborating with each other for the first time and I think that will be refreshing for the audience to watch.”
