Bollywood actress Kajol’s Noyonika Sengupta is a no-nonsense lawyer grappling with personal problems in the trailer of Disney+ Hotstar’s courtroom drama series The Trial - Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokha.
Dropped by Disney+Hotstar on Monday, the two-minute-long trailer begins with Noyonika’s voice, “A mistake more than once is not a mistake, it is a choice.” Next, we get to see her husband — additional judge Rajiv Sengupta (Jishu Sengupta) — being arrested for taking sexual favours, bringing down a curtain of shame on his family and marriage. Now Nayonika returns to the courtroom after 13 years to support her kids through the turmoil; she gets hired by a law firm and proves her worth by winning several cases.
While Noyonika is making a career out of winning cases, no one is willing to take up Rajiv’s case. He desperately calls Nayonika for help. Will she take the case and face the truth? “Now, proof is the only thing I believe in, not people,” Noyonika says at the end of the trailer.
