The Trial : Pyaar Kanoon Dhokha is an Indian legal drama TV series. It is an adaptation of Robert King & Michelle King ‘s ‘The Good Wife’ & features Kajol in the lead role.
Directed by Suparn Verma. Written by Hussain Dalal, Abbas Dalal, Siddharth Kumar.
The series is centered on a housewife who, after 10 years, starts working at a law firm to support her family when her husband gets imprisoned.
Season 2 was released on 19 September 2025. Directed by Umesh Bist.
The show received mostly mixed reviews from the critics. Pinkvilla gave a mixed review, saying ‘The trial counts for a nice weekend binge despite few cliched tropes & plot conveniences,’
Subhra Gupta of The Indian Express opined, ‘For the second season, can we expect smoother writing, less choppy situations & none of those sonorous voice overs which are jarring.’
Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave a 3 of 5 stars. ‘One of the key characters in The Trial avers that a lawyer ‘s job is to defend a client, not the truth’
It is jarring to the ears. We hear & see so many things happening but then somewhere we want justice!
Kajol is an accomplished artist. But I hated her wardrobe. Although it is an American adaptation, why weren ‘t a few details to Indianise taken into consideration? A sari or a Punjabi suit would have been better.
I have seen better legal dramas.
